Abstract We analyzed the distribution of endoparasites in five species of Hylidae frogs during their reproductive period, aiming to understand how the host's habitat influences the parasites. Five anuran species (Boana r...

The Crystal Caverns of the Wieliczka Salt Mine, southern Poland, represent a unique subterranean environment formed within Miocene halite deposits and protected as a nature reserve. In this study, 24 adult beetles of the...

For large herbivores, predation-risk, habitat structure and population density are often reported as major determinants of group size variation within and between species. However, whether the underlying causes of these ...

Habitat loss is one of the main factors reducing wildlife diversity and restricting its conservation. Habitat suitability models are important tools for wildlife management and conservation in order to evaluate the impac...

Abstract Although sea-ice ridges are prominent features of the Arctic Ocean, very little is known about their role as habitats and in biogeochemical cycles. Here, we show that ridges provide complex sea-ice habitats whic...

Changes in forest cover from forest to non-forest systems alter habitat structure and resource availability, thereby affecting the functional composition of bird communities. This study aimed to identify and compare the ...

Grassland butterflies are declining widely in temperate regions, and are thus a key target for conservation. Recent studies have shown that forest clearcuts can be temporary habitats for these species. Shelterbelts - row...

Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) O. Kuntze (Araucariaceae) is a Neotropical tree, widely distributed in subtropical mountain rain forests and nearby natural grasslands of Southern Brazil. This species produces annual gro...

Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs are highly sensitive to shoreline instability and rapid land-use changes in industrializing regions. Nayband Gulf, located adjacent to the Pars Special Ec...

The expansion of human populations associated with urbanization results in extensive modification of natural habitats. While many species cannot persist in these highly modified environments, some species adopt new strat...

Abstract Marine habitat maps are essential tools for marine spatial planning, providing information for decision‐making in conservation and resource management. Accurate classification of benthic habitats supports thei...

Abstract Background Microhabitat heterogeneity plays a crucial role in shaping plant water use strategies and ecophysiological processes in arid ecosystems, yet little is known about the coupled response of leaf water is...

Abstract Amaranthus spinosus L. is a member of the Amaranthaceae family, commonly known as the spiny amaranth, or spiny pigweed. It is native to the tropical Americas, but is present on most continents as an introduced s...

Intestinal microbiota of aquatic animals is closely associated with the environment, influencing their health, immune defense, and environmental adaptability. To understand the relationships among the Manila clam (Rudita...

ABSTRACT Since prehistoric times, indigenous communities have relied on fish as a staple source of protein for their subsistence. In most cases, fish is the sole source of income and of animal protein for the communities...

ABSTRACT We studied the home range and habitat use of paca (Cuniculus paca) in a rural agricultural community in the Alto Beni region, in La Paz department, Bolivia, where game meat is the main source of protein for a la...

This study assessed the local and landscape factors that support breeding habitats for native frog species in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. We surveyed 25 wetlands categorized into two management states and var...

Understanding the spatial ecology of wide-ranging marine megafauna is essential for identifying critical habitats and designing effective conservation strategies. Whale sharks undertake extensive movements far beyond wel...

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar las utilidades del programa informático ModestR, en estudios sobre distribución de especies en ecosistemas marinos y de agua dulce de Colombia. Este programa se encuentra disponib...

Effective management of natural populations depends heavily on the capacity for understanding and predicting their habitat requirements. For endemic and threatened species like the mara (Dolichotis patagonum), this infor...

With their ground-nesting habits, the Red-wattled Lapwing Vanellus indicus are particularly vulnerable to urbanization, which ffects their nesting behaviour, reproductive success, and habitat use. The present study was...

Restingas are ecosystems of complex types of coastal vegetation inserted in the Atlantic Forest biome which have been subjected to intense human impact and degradation in the last decades. Studies on the ecological facto...

Anurans exhibit diverse locomotor modes and are found in a wide variety of habitats. Furthermore, despite speciesspecific preferences, several anurans can explore unusual habitats or substrates. This is the case of Thoro...

Brazil’s rich biological legacy makes it a prime location for studying novel microbes due to its favorable characteristics, which support a wide range of biotechnological applications, including the synthesis of metall...
