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...

Abstract Here we present a multi-marker DNA barcoding library for Hong Kong marine fishes (Teleostei), cephalopods (Mollusca), and crustaceans (Arthropoda) frequently captured by purse seine fisheries. In total, 605 spec...

The WHO estimates that by 2050, 70% of the global population will reside in urban areas—centers of opportunity but also major health risks. Urbanization contributes to the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases, lin...

Abstract Nothopegia castaneifolia (Roth) Ding Hou (Anacardiaceae) is a critically endangered tree species with a narrow endemic range, restricted to semi-evergreen and evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, one of India...

Industrial and agricultural activities as well as the combustion of fossil fuels lead to increased levels of sulphur (S) deposition in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, affecting soil acidity and plant communities. Loc...

Uttar Pradesh (UP) is one of the largest states in India. Based on vegetation types, the state is divided into four main regions: the Terai Region, Gangetic Plains, Vindhyan, and Semi-arid Regions. These regions harbour ...

BackgroundClimate change is increasingly recognized as a critical driver affecting the transmission and distribution of parasitic diseases. However, a comprehensive synthesis of the global research landscape in this inte...

The structure and function of many proteins are regulated post-translationally through glycan attachment. These glycans, assembled via competing enzymatic reactions, generate diverse glycoform populations – variants sh...

Climate change and expanding international trade are accelerating biological invasions, intensifying the need to explore the mechanisms underlying the incorporation of invasive species into native food webs. Importantly,...

Decelerating climate change requires a shift away from conventional production practices across industries, including agriculture, to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Agricultural sustainabil...

Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of marine mammals is essential for biodiversity monitoring and communication studies. Tracking animals in situ further enables behavioral investigation. Monitoring from boats, t...

Hydrocarbon pollution from oil spills, traffic emissions, and industrial processes continues to be a significant global threat to biodiversity, soil quality, water quality, and human health. Lichens, mutualistic life for...

Abstract Multiple drivers of global change are causing rapid biodiversity loss worldwide. However, predicting species’ trajectories remains challenging due to the dynamic and state-dependent nature of ecological respon...

This study employs a comprehensive review of 45 studies to assess the economic value of ecosystem services from different forest types across India. To estimate timeframes, the values of ecosystem services reported in th...

Ants are essential components of ecosystems, playing critical roles in nutrient cycling, pest control, and soil health. Agricultural practices significantly influence ant biodiversity, yet studies on this subject remain ...

Abstract National‐scale benthic marine habitat maps underpin monitoring and conservation of vulnerable marine and coastal ecosystems. Cloud‐based satellite remote sensing can streamline these processes over spatial s...

Historical samples from museum and private collections can serve as a time machine, allowing us to follow changes in genetic composition through time as well as obtaining genomic data on past biodiversity. Thus, genetic ...

The governance of protected areas plays a key role in preserving biodiversity and fostering sustainable development, particularly through nature-based tourism. This paper introduces the Robustness Supply Tourism Index (R...

The article presents the results of a study of polymorphism in the Ukrainian Brown breed (UB) for the BoLA-DRB3 gene. Experimental data were obtained using the PCR-PCRF method. The genotypes of the animals were determine...

Protecting soils from degradation is a significant area of research in international environmental law. Almost all states face soil degradation problems and are striving to solve them at a national level. The quality of ...
