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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

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)
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
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 ...
