The impact of civil war on forest wildlife in West Africa: Mammals in Gola Forest, Sierra Leone [PDF]
, 2011 Human conflicts may sometimes benefit wildlife by depopulating wilderness areas but there is evidence from Africa that the impacts tend to be negative. The forested states of West Africa have experienced much recent human conflict but there have been no ...

Mixed flow ionospheric aerodynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The increasingly congested near earth environment requires accurate orbital modelling to prevent collision events that threaten access to space infrastructure. Ionospheric aerodynamics are the largest non-conservative source of orbital perturbations. Work done by Brown et al provided a prediction method for drag forces on charged bodies in low earth ...

Blood concentrations of lactate, glucose and corticosterone in dispersing hatchling sea turtles
Biology Open, 2012 Summary Natal dispersal of sea turtles is an energetically demanding activity that is fuelled primarily by aerobic metabolism. However, during intense exercise reptiles can use anaerobic metabolism to supplement their energy requirements.

High prices for rare species can drive large populations extinct: the anthropogenic Allee effect revisited [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, Volume 429, Pages 170-180 (2017), 2017 Consumer demand for plant and animal products threatens many populations with extinction. The anthropogenic Allee effect (AAE) proposes that such extinctions can be caused by prices for wildlife products increasing with species rarity. This price-rarity relationship creates financial incentives to extract the last remaining individuals of a population,

Patterns of co-occurrence of rare and threatened species in winter arable plant communities of Italy [PDF]
, 2020 Detecting patterns of species co-occurrence is among the main tasks of plant community ecology. Arable plant communities are important elements of agroecosystems, because they support plant and animal biodiversity and provide ecosystem services.

StatEcoNet: Statistical Ecology Neural Networks for Species Distribution Modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper focuses on a core task in computational sustainability and statistical ecology: species distribution modeling (SDM). In SDM, the occurrence pattern of a species on a landscape is predicted by environmental features based on observations at a set of locations.
