DNA barcoding is a technique in which species identification is performed by using DNA sequences from a small fragment of the genome, with the aim of contributing to a wide range of ecological and conservation s...

Hereditary Hearing Loss (HHL) is a common trait affecting 1 in 2000 new born children. The presence of over 100 different genes involved in HHL, lead us to go on board with Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in order to search...

ABSTRACT Astragalus bozakmanii Podlech, an endemic plant species to Turkey, was investigated to provide an understanding the conservation status of this species and to fill the gap in the knowledge of habitat of this spe...

Annonaceae is a family of approximately 2,430 species of angiosperms, about 70 of which contribute to the diversity of Mexico's tropical forests. Some species produce pleasant fruits, others generate essences used in per...

Currently, more than 40% of extant amphibian species are threatened with extinction and a quarter of them still lack information to be classified as threatened, being therefore enlisted as Data Deficient by the Internati...

This study explores the construction of tourist experience and conservation-oriented semiotic governance in a Balinese monkey forest. In the context of ecotourism, few studies examine the role of semiotic resources in me...

The freshwater crabs of the family Pseudothelphusidae Ortmann, 1893 are restricted to the Neotropics and many species have an elevated risk of extinction. The majority of pseudothelphusids is considered to be data-defici...

Despite the publication of numerous studies about carbon (C) concentration in various tree components, few have investigated the C variation in spatially restricted tree species. We evaluated differences in C concentrati...

ABSTRACT The Amazonian megadiversity remains understudied and underestimated due to the region’s vast size, environmental heterogeneity, and inaccessibility. With increasing threats to the biome, it is crucial to map c...

Understanding the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the local communities towards the target species before implementing any awareness-based programmes is essential for the success and long-term protection of the s...

Prosopis denudans, an extreme xerophyte shrub, is consumed by ungulates and threatened by firewood gathering, because itis one of the preferred species used by Mapuche indigenous people of Patagonia. In a scenario of unc...

Documenting the presence and abundance of the neotropical mammals is the first step for understanding their population ecology, behavior and genetic dynamics in designing conservation plans. The combination of field rese...

Background The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition...

Immersive virtual reality is increasingly being used as a tool for promoting environmental awareness, particularly to strengthen engagement with nature. However, most research has focused on the short-term effects of a s...

The present study was carried out to document the moth fauna of Lumami campus between February 2024 to April 2024 using the light trapping method with a 100 W LED bulb. A total of 106 species belonging to 83 genera under...

Abstract Native foxes face serious threats related to anthropic activities and the uncontrolled pets. However, the transmission of several pathogens such as parasites by domestic dogs is an important conservation issue w...

Background and aims: High mountain shrubs play a key role in the maintenance and functioning of ecosystem processes. Nevertheless, studies to understand their morphology and dry matter partitioning are scarce. The goal o...
