Threatened cockatoo adapts foraging strategy to survive habitat loss from fire

Ibis, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are changing across the globe as a result of human‐induced climate change. For granivorous bird species, changes in fire regimes can affect seed availability and the persistence of populations. We investigated the foraging behaviour of Glossy Black Cockatoos Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus, a resource specialist, following large‐scale

Influenza A virus on oceanic islands: host and viral diversity in seabirds in the Western Indian Ocean.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Ducks and seabirds are natural hosts for influenza A viruses (IAV). On oceanic islands, the ecology of IAV could be affected by the relative diversity, abundance and density of seabirds and ducks. Seabirds are the most abundant and widespread avifauna in

Connectivity between breeding sites, wintering areas, and migration routes in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in the Western Palaearctic

Ibis, EarlyView.
Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...

Breeding terns on Al Jarrim islands [PDF]

, 2010
Fasht Al Jarrim is a sandy shoal situated approximately 20 km north (QA29) of the main island of Bahrain. Three small islands occur on the fasht. The northernmost of these is a natural island which belongs to the ruler of Bahrain and has been occupied by

Baseline Alkaline Phosphatase Impacts Response Rates in Primary Biliary Cholangitis: Exploring Response to Elafibranor in ELATIVE. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Baseline alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels can influence the likelihood of achieving dichotomous biochemical response criteria in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). This concept was explored using Week 52 data from the phase III ELATIVE trial (NCT04526665), which assessed elafibranor, a peroxisome proliferator‐activated ...

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Graph-based Modelling of Concurrent Sequential Patterns [PDF]

, 2010
Structural relation patterns have been introduced recently to extend the search for complex patterns often hidden behind large sequences of data. This has motivated a novel approach to sequential patterns post-processing and a corresponding data mining ...

FcMAPK4‐phosphorylated FcNOR activates FcERF5 to promote fig fruit softening through activation of FcPG12 expression

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In Ficus carica fruit, the MAP kinase FcMAPK4 phosphorylates the NAC transcription factor FcNOR, which cooperates with ethylene response factor FcERF5 to activate the pectin degradation gene FcPG12, thereby promoting rapid softening of fig fruit. ABSTRACT Rapid softening of fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit during ripening leads to extremely short shelf life;

Living with gulls: trading off food and predation in the Sandwich Tern Sterna sandvicensis [PDF]

, 2007
The low-lying, sandy areas along the Dutch coast offer important breeding opportunities for Sandwich Terns Sterna sandvicensis. Throughout the twentieth century Sandwich Terns nested here in fluctuating numbers. The Dutch population suffered from a major

Soil phosphorus drives subcontinental patterns of carbon isotope discrimination across Australia

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Several transects have been established to study the sensitivity of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ13C) in woody plants to mean annual precipitation (MAP) across Australia. These have shown a surprising divergence in Δ13C‐MAP sensitivity among subcontinental regions.
