Can Road-Crossing Structures Improve Population Viability of an Urban Gliding Mammal?

Ecology and Society, 2009
Tree-dwelling mammals are potentially highly vulnerable to discontinuities in habitat created by roads. We used population modeling to assess the viability of a metapopulation of Australia's largest gliding marsupial, the greater glider (Petauroides ...

Effect analysis of wooden fence width on wave transmission by SWASH model

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2023
Abstract Wooden fences, a permeable structure, have become a nature-based solution for supporting traditional structures to restore mangrove forests along the Mekong deltaic coasts. Even though prior studies have explored a number of hydraulic functions of these fences, an in-depth investigation into the influence of fence width on wave ...

Commercial activities and subsistence utilization of mangrove forests around the Wouri estuary and the Douala-Edea reserve (Cameroon)

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2009
Background Worldwide there is growing research interest in the ethnobiology of mangrove forests. Notwithstanding that, little information has been published about ethnobiology of mangrove forests in Cameroon. The aims of this study were a) to analyze the

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Conflict Social Networks of Critically Endangered Alpine Musk Deer in Captivity and Relationships With Fecal Steroid Hormones 圈养极危物种马麝的冲突社交网络及其与粪便类固醇激素的关联

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We conducted a grouping study on 52 adult musk deer to investigate whether group sex composition modulates aggressive behavior and stress response in captive musk deer. We found that the conflict interactions of all‐male groups were significantly more than those of mixed groups, and compared with the mixed groups, the conflict interactions of all‐male ...

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...
