Climate change refugia hotspots for priority species: A case study in East Africa

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
We coproduced the first comprehensive assessment of climate change refugia across Tanzania with Tanzanian partners through extensive consultation, in‐person interviews, and field visits to priority ecosystems, ensuring our analysis addressed local conservation needs and decision‐making contexts.

Variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. I. Multimode SX Phe-type variables

, 2003
We report on the discovery of eleven multimode SX Phoenicis--type blue stragglers in the field of the southern globular cluster NGC 3201. In these variables both radial and non-radial modes are excited.

Clinical and pathological findings in giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) with arterial thrombotic disease

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Two adult female giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) from separate facilities were diagnosed with arterial thrombotic disease. The first giraffe presented with acute severe unilateral hindlimb paralysis. Infrared thermography revealed a marked temperature decrease compared to the contralateral limb starting from the mid‐thigh region, indicative ...

HT Camelopardalis: The simplest intermediate polar spin pulse

, 2005
The intermediate polar HT Cam is unusual in that it shows no evidence for dense absorption in its spectrum. We analyse an XMM-Newton observation of this star, which confirms the absence of absorption and shows that the X-ray spin-pulse is energy ...

How Energetic Demands and Habitat Utilisation Can Make or Break Giraffes

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding how large herbivores balance energy intake and expenditure is critical for effective rangeland management and conservation. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis), as selective browsers, depend on high‐quality forage resources that vary seasonally, influencing their movement patterns, home range and habitat selection.

Population Trends of Large Carnivores in the Benoue Ecosystem, a Savannah Landscape of Central Africa (Cameroon)

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Large carnivores play a vital role in ecosystem functioning, yet their populations are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, human–wildlife conflict and declining prey availability. The Benoue ecosystem in Cameroon, one of the last strongholds for lions (Panthera leo), leopards (Panthera pardus) and spotted hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta) in ...

On the apsidal motion of BP Vulpeculae

, 2008
BP Vulpeculae is a bright eclipsing binary system showing apsidal motion. It was found in an earlier study that it shows retrograde apsidal motion which contradicts theory.

Review of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary: implications for the evolution of the atlas–axis complex

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2435-2470, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This review describes variation in modern and fossil occiput–atlas–axis complex anatomy of total group Tetrapoda with the aim of documenting the range of structural variation throughout their evolutionary history to establish grounds for comparison of the complex between tetrapod clades.

Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2660-2680, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...
