Implications for compact stars of a soft nuclear equation of state from heavy-ion data [PDF]

, 2012
We study the implications on compact star properties of a soft nuclear equation of state determined from kaon production at subthreshold energies in heavy-ion collisions.

Working with laws, regularities and singularities in biology: The evolution of mammalian red blood cell size as a case study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods have been used in recent literature to work with laws and test for regularities (evolutionary associations of quantitative features) and evolutionary singularities (features that evolved in a single taxon). We analyzed these uses epistemologically, taking the evolution of red‐blood‐cell mean corpuscular volume (

Misperceptions of charismatic species' conservation status: Zoo visits and virtual exposure shape perceptions of extinction risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, yet species are not equally affected, and public perceptions of extinction risk often diverge from scientific assessments. Understanding what shapes public perceptions is critical for effective conservation communication, particularly in zoos, where many people encounter exotic and endangered ...

Livestock grazing and geodiversity modulate wild herbivore distributions in an African community conservation area

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The rapid decline of African wildlife populations demands immediate action to mitigate further losses and restore ecosystems. A key factor influencing wildlife distribution is the relationship between the energetic needs of species and the availability of forage, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Historical Development of Zoo Tapir (Tapirus ssp.) Survivorship

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
The survivorship of tapirs in zoos has improved significantly over historical time. ABSTRACT Tapirs (Tapirus spp.) are large, long‐lived herbivores native to Central and South America and Southeast Asia. All species are currently classified as Vulnerable (T. terrestris) or Endangered (other species) in the IUCN SSC Red List.

A study of U Aquarii and the nucleosynthesis of neutrons and S-process elements in evolved stars of low mass [PDF]

, 2014
The origin of the extreme hydrogen deficiency observed in the R Coronae Borealis (RCrB) stars remains poorly understood. A likely mechanism for producing this deficiency is one whereby the original hydrogen envelope of the star is engulfed and ...

Monitoring wildlife health for diseases with visible signs by integrating camera traps with marked individuals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring wildlife health is essential for conservation and management, wildlife and livestock welfare, and public health in a One Health framework. Yet, wildlife health monitoring often requires long‐term fieldwork and intensive sampling, which can be costly or logistically challenging, especially for remote, rare, or elusive populations. To

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head
