Despite having >1200 described species and despite their nearly worldwide distribution and prevalence in many xeric ecosystems, relative to many other arachnid groups, we know little about the natural history and behavio...

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...

We conducted a study on the habitat use, food, and feeding ecology of the lesser known Tamdil Leaf-litter Frog Leptobrachella tamdil at its type locality. The places occupied by L. tamdil in the wild are characterised by...

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...

The genus Arachniodes (Dryopteridaceae) is mainly distributed in tropical Asia, with Indian records largely confined to the Himalaya, northeastern India, and southern Western Ghats. No confirmed report existed from the n...

Climate change and biodiversity loss have heightened global awareness on environmental design, unfolding paradigms of ecological design. Concepts such as nature-based solutions, urban nature, biophilic design and sponge ...

Question: A set of easily‐measured (‘soft’) plant traits has been identified as potentially useful predictors of ecosystem functioning in previous studies. Here we aimed to discover whether the screening techniques...

Identifying the prey species is crucial for successful conservation and landscape-level management of large predators whose feeding ecology is incompletely known. Assessment of faecal samples is a viable method for achie...

Monitoring the body condition of ungulates is an important aspect of understanding their ecology as it provides information about habitat conditions, seasonality of nutritional stress, disease susceptibility, and prey se...

Sacred groves (SGs) are community-protected forest patches dedicated to local deities, crucial for biodiversity conservation but threatened by habitat loss and weakening traditions. This study provides the first inventor...

The lesser rhea (family Rheidae) is a flightless large bird of South America, threatened due to habitat loss, hunting and egg collecting, with special concern in Northern Patagonia. Diet and food availability were estima...

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...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

Despite their charismatic appeal and threatened conservation status, parrots of the genera Tanygnathus and Prioniturus remain poorly studied throughout their range. Their inconspicuous behaviour, elusive nature, and rari...

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...

An understanding of the mechanisms that shape animal-population dynamics is a fundamental consideration in conservation biology and ecology. Populations of the species of South-American sea lions (SASLs) Otaria flavescen...

The plant species Impatiens chamchumroonii of the Balsaminaceae family was recorded for the first time in Vietnam. They are collected from Dak Lak province hill areas in 2023. The voucher specimens of this species are ho...

Abstract Intertidal macrobenthos are vital bioindicators of coastal ecosystem health due to their ecological roles, limited mobility, and sensitivity to environmental disturbances. However, traditional field‐based moni...
