Scavengers in the human-dominated landscape: an experimental study [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Rapid urbanization is a major cause of habitat and biodiversity loss and human-animal conflict. While urbanization is inevitable, we need to develop a good understanding of the urban ecosystem and the urban-adapted species in order to ensure sustainable cities for our future. Scavengers play a major role in urban ecosystems, and often, urban adaptation

Effect of Rain Scavenging on Altitudinal Distribution of Soluble Gaseous Pollutants in the Atmosphere [PDF]
, 2010 We suggest a model of rain scavenging of soluble gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere. It is shown that below-cloud gas scavenging is determined by non-stationary convective diffusion equation with the effective Peclet number. The obtained equation was analyzed numerically in the case of log-normal droplet size distribution.

Pathogen avoidance and prey discrimination in ants [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Insect societies have developed sanitary strategies, one of which is the avoidance of infectious food resources as a primary line of defence. Using binary choices, we investigated whether Myrmica rubra ants can identify prey that has been artificially ...

An overview of stranded cetacean scavenging in Atlantic southern Africa since the Earlier Stone Age
Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2022 Along the southern African coastal plain, human occupation is documented since the end of the Early Pleistocene. The archaeological, palaeoenvironemental and ethnographic records suggest that in these arid to semi-arid landscapes where inland resources ...

Estimation of In-Vitro Free Radical Scavenging and Cytotoxic Activities of Thiocarbohydrazones Derivatives [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Objective: To investigate free radical scavenging potential of thiocarbohydrazones derivatives for the discovery of antioxidant compounds of synthetic origin. Method: Eighteen thiocarbohydrazones derivatives were screened for antioxidant activities by using in vitro radical inhibition assay.
