Anti‐Thrombotic Effect of Hemp Seed Peptides in Zebrafish by Dual Regulation of vegfr1 Signaling and Caspase‐3‐Mediated Apoptosis

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
Characterize the thrombin‐inhibitory capacity of hemp seed peptides. Evaluate antithrombotic efficacy through hemodynamic and vascular parameters. Elucidate mechanisms via vegfr1 and caspase‐3 gene expression analysis. ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the antithrombotic activity of hemp seed peptides derived from trypsin hydrolysates and ...

Exploring interdisciplinary aspects for conservation management: The case of land hermit crab wildlife trade in Taiwan

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 2051-2064, August 2025.
Abstract Most conservation policies and management primarily focus on vertebrate animals. However, considering the high demand for invertebrate species in the exotic pet markets, it is crucial to give them great consideration. This research explores Coenobita purpureus, a land hermit crab newly recorded in Taiwan in 2017.

Genomes of two Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild reptiles from Christmas Island reveal distinct evolutionary histories and conservation insights

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Genomics can play important roles in biodiversity conservation, especially for Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild species where genetic factors greatly influence risk of total extinction and probability of successful reintroductions. The Christmas Island blue‐tailed skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) and Lister's gecko (Lepidodactylus listeri) are two endemic ...

Invasive Big‐Headed Ants and Black Rats Are Dominant Arthropod Predators Across Opposing Habitats of a Degraded Oceanic Island

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.
Invasive animals threaten island‐native arthropods with predation. We found that introduced ants and rats conducted 77% of experimental arthropod live bait predations on Ascension Island. Predation was mostly by big‐headed ants Pheidole megacephala inland and around non‐native vegetation, and by black rats Rattus rattus in coastal lowland habitats and ...

Act for the best, prepare for the worst—Defining strategic mesopredator triggers that safeguard apex predator eradication benefits

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 458-469, March 2025.
Our results illustrate the value of PVAs as a tool for understanding potential invasive species management outcomes in multi‐invaded ecosystems. Defining thresholds of ecologically significant rat impact informs the setting of decision triggers, which in combination with targeted monitoring, can help managers prepare to adapt to deficient or ...

The myriapodological legacy of Victor Ivanovich Motschoulsky (1810–1871)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2014
The little that remains of Motschoulsky’s myriapodological legacy in the collection of Moscow’s Zoological Museum proves to be of very limited value.

Evaluation of trial reintroductions of two extinct in the wild reptile species on Christmas Island

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 19-32, February 2025.
We undertook the first reintroduction trials of the Extinct in the Wild blue‐tailed skink and Lister's gecko on Christmas Island and assessed their success in the first 15 months post‐release against a priori success criteria. Both reintroductions achieved some short‐ and medium‐term success (in particular the blue‐tailed skink population increased ...
