Context and background  This study assessed the role of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in supporting the livelihoods of communities around the proposed Ebo National Park in Cameroon and their contribution to biodi...

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...

The toxicity of Nonylphenol, an emerging pollutant, on the common South American toad Rhinella arenarum was stage and time dependent, thus Median Lethal Concentrations (LC50) for acute (96 h), short-term chronic (168 h) ...

Soil loss poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity and causes environmental degradation, particularly in Ethiopia. It depletes soil fertility, resulting in reduced crop productivity and accelerated sedimentati...

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...

ABSTRACT Riparian forests are important ecosystems that support an enormous biodiversity in Brazil. Despite being protected under Brazilian legislation, these forests suffer great impact from the fragmentation of habitat...

ABSTRACT Wildland fires can be responsible for negative impacts on the environment, causing damage to the fauna and flora and increasing the release of greenhouse gases. In the state of Amazonas, wildland fires represent...

ABSTRACT Neotropical medium and large-bodied mammals are key elements in forest ecosystems, and protected areas are essential for their conservation. In Brazil, sustainable use protected areas (SU-PAs) allow both the con...

IntroductionCoastal wetlands provide critical ecosystem services but face increasing threats from human activities. Although ecological compensation mechanisms are globally recognized, research on tourist willingness-to-...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...

Effects of forest harvesting on biodiversity can be varied and complex to understand. We provide a metaanalysisof 553 studies plants, insects and birds to identify the general responses to Variable Retentionharvesting (V...

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...

Long-term ocean time-series stations have significantly advanced our understanding of ocean–climate interactions, yet marginal seas remain underrepresented in global observing networks. The East Sea (Japan Sea) provide...

The EU has introduced a series of shipping carbon emissions regulations, including the MRV, the EU ETS, and FuelEU Maritime, thereby establishing a port-centric extraterritorial regulatory framework by clearly defining t...

Ulva lacinulata constitutes a critical yet often overlooked component of Mediterranean eutrophicated coasts. Investigating its physiological responses to weather events may enable environmental management and aquaculture...

The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) is a dynamic region where the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice actively interact, giving rise to frequent eddy formation. Clarifying the processes governing this zone is crucial for both accurat...

The present survey indicates that there are about 441 fish species in Argentina, distributed throughout the country; this number represents less than 10% of the total fish species occurring in the Neotropical Region. The...

Las especies amenazadas (EA) son aquellas que tienen una elevada probabilidad de extinción o que se aproximan a dicha situación de continuar las presiones directas sobre éstas o sus hábitats. Partiendo de esta defini...

"La Antártida es un lugar único no sólo por los valores naturales que alberga sino también por cómo está administrado. Aquí habitan numerosas especies marinas, la mayoría de ellas endémicas, que incluyen al kril...
