Just preservation and the Half-Earth View

Animal Sentience, 2019
For interspecies justice, animal welfare, and animal rights, the planet needs to be divided on the basis of species' natural resource requirements. The Half-Earth View is that to maintain viable populations of the Earth's remaining species, half of ...

Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Combined effects of patch size and plant nutritional quality on local densities of insect herbivores [PDF]

, 2010
Plant–insect interactions occur in spatially heterogeneous habitats. Understanding how such interactions shape density distributions of herbivores requires knowledge on how variation in plant traits (e.g.

First reports on the relationship between the eggshell and bone mineralization in Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia embryos

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Composed of various minerals, the eggshell provides ideal conditions for embryonic development, and understanding its composition and structure is essential for clarifying its relationship with bone formation. This study characterized the structure and mineral profile of the Rhinoclemmys punctularia punctularia eggshell in relation to ...

Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Microcosms as an implement for assessing ecological processes in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Review

Environment Protection Engineering
Currently, microcosms are used for research and assessment of environmental impacts on the environmental components. Microcosms are useful instruments in ecological studies, toxicology, and ecotoxicology. Microcosms allow the experimental study of ecosystems in a controlled medium. This review article is focused on the experiences of the use of aquatic

Subsidy intermediaries: the role of aquatic plants in storing and transferring resources from aquatic biogeochemical hotspots to terrestrial ecosystems [PDF]

, 2022
The roles mobile animals and abiotic processes play as vectors for resource transfers between ecosystems (subsidies) are well-studied. Trophic interactions between mobile animals and their food sources often convey subsidies across ecosystem boundaries ...

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Terrestrial-aquatic linkages in human-altered landscapes [PDF]

, 2007
Streams and adjacent riparian zones are intimately linked by the flow of resource subsidies between terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Landscape-level changes in land use can have profound impacts on riparian structure and stream health, and may alter ...
