Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare.

Effect of the spatial heterogeneity on the predation of Scinax fuscovarius and Physalaemus cuvieri tadpoles by Odonata larvae = Efeito da heterogeneidade ambiental na predação de girinos de Scinax fuscovarius e Physalaemus cuvieri por larvas de Odonata

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2010
The objective of this work were to analyze the effect of predation byOdonata naiads on two amphibian species with distinct habits – benthic and mid-water – and to verify whether the presence and architecture of macrophytes can mediate this interaction ...

Vitamin A transport in plasma of the non-mammalian vertebrates: isolation and partial characterization of piscine retinol-binding protein1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1977
Studies were conducted to explore vitamin A transport in the non-mammalian vertebrates, especially Pisces, Amphibia, and Reptilia, and to isolate and partially characterize piscine retinol-binding protein.

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This work evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the Critically Endangered Jambato Harlequin Frog (Atelopus ignescens)—an iconic species once thought extinct and now known only from a single locality in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA in detecting the Jambato in a low‐density amphibian population,

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Ploidy‐dependent modulation of DNA replication kinetics in Xenopus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using an interspecies replication system with Xenopus frog species of different ploidy levels, we investigated how DNA replication adapts to polyploidization. While replication was slower in tetraploid than in diploid nuclei, dodecaploid nuclei unexpectedly replicated faster than tetraploid nuclei. Our findings show that increasing genome size does not

20th Anniversary of human‐induced pluripotent stem cells and the role of microscopy

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been 20 years since the pioneering work of Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi at Kyoto University led to the first successful generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cells. iPSCs have the capacity to differentiate into any type of cell in the human body, and as such, they have ...

Recognizing Signs of Abusive Head Trauma

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Abusive head trauma (AHT) remains the leading cause of fatal traumatic brain injury in infants and young children. Diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed due to nonspecific clinical presentation and unreliable histories, making neuroimaging a critical component of the diagnostic process. Objective This review synthesises computed
