Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Water depth and human disturbance drive occupancy of endangered softshell turtles (Nilssonia spp.) in eastern Nepal

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.
