Perspectives of Disaster Resilience in Africa: Towards a Participatory Framework for Conceptualising and Measuring Resilience in Malawi

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the concept of resilience as understood and operationalised by various humanitarian and climate resilience actors in Malawi. Findings revealed a fragmented understanding of resilience among stakeholders and highlight the need for participatory approaches, localised resilience assessments and context‐specific interventions ...

Predation by Atractosteus tropicus on Bufo marinus and its possible affect on population in a lowland tropical wet rainforest

open access: yes, 2010
Fish predation can affect amphibian populations. Most examples report invasive fish species and their negative effect on specific amphibians. Here we provide an occurrence of natural fish predation by the tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus on the cane ...

Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

[Histology of reproductive cycle of tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus females (Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae) in Tabasco, Mexico].

open access: yesRevista de biologia tropical, 2013
In Southeast Mexico, A. tropicus is a species with great ecological, economic, cultural and aquaculture value, however wild populations have diminished due to diverse anthropological causes. The objective of this study was to characterize the reproductive cycle of A.

Spatial Heterogeneity Among Threatened Fish Assemblages With High Endemicity Underscores the Urgency for Conservation Efforts

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish biodiversity faces immense pressures, especially in tropical developing regions where it provides critical protein and income. Effective conservation strategies require knowledge of species at scales matching their distribution and life history.

Beyond Hard Parts: Metabarcoding Advances Dietary Resolution in Threatened Amazonian Elasmobranchs

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs are highly vulnerable and are considered one of the most threatened vertebrates worldwide. Insights into diet can improve conservation measures. The bias of traditional morphological methods towards taxa with distinctive hard parts makes metabarcoding analysis a complementary tool to assess diet composition. Here, we analysed the

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Regeneration of the Caudal Fin of Atractosteus tropicus The Tropical Gar

open access: yes
Abstract Bacground: The tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) belongs to the lepisosteidae family, with habitats from southeast Mexico to the south of Costa Rica. Due to its phylogenetic position, slow evolution speed (base substitution), dense genetic map, gene similarity with human beings, and ease of cultivation in laboratories, this ...

Gene collinearity of mafba among species at different evolutionary positions.

open access: yes, 2022
The genes nearby mafba and their relative orders were extracted from the genomes of a wide range of vertebrates, including ancient fishes (sea lamprey, elephant shark, spotted gar, and coelacanth), modern fishes (European eel, zebrafish, Japanese medaka,
