“These giant sea stars used to be easy to find and were a hit with divers.Unfortunately,your chances of finding one now are next to nothing in most of the areas near the United States—this listing is one step to extinction—and I don’t think they’re coming back without help,” ...
Data collected from more than 2,000 taxa provide an unparalleled opportunity to quantify how extreme wildfires affect biodiversity, revealing that the largest effects on plants and animals were in areas with frequent or recent past fires and within extensively burnt areas.

The importance of conservation areas and listed buildings are now extensively recognised for their historic interest. The Conservation & Listed Buildings team, working within Planning, seeks to ensure that new development in these areas is in line with local and national planning policies. DOI: http...
Mangrove forest is a significant part of the ecosystem that help in protecting coastal areas, especially to lower down the impact of tidal surge and strong wind when tsunami strikes. In addition, it is a natural breeding ground for bountiful marine creatures along the coastal line. Andik Idris ...
But there is ample evidence that heat tolerance changes a lot among populations occupying different areas of the distribution of a species, and such variation must be taken into account to improve our predictions of how species might respond to environmental change and face extinction....
of the genes characteristic of a given species. To solve such problems one must consider not only the dynamics of the target species or process, but also the changes in the biotic and abiotic surroundings. This usually requires studies covering larger geographical areas than is usual in ...
In response to the processes threatening biodiversity such as habitat loss, effective selection of priority conservation areas is required. However, reserv
Thus, we recommend that future studies include additional samples, particularly from areas where these taxa meet. However, genome-wide cluster-based analyses and explicit introgression tests performed on the available data did not support a scenario in which O. mellianus is nested within O. ...
It has been supposed, I say, by some people, as it seems to me merely by a confusion of ideas, that there is, at some part or other of this process, a creation of energy ; but there is no reason whatever why we should suppose this. The difficulty in proving a negative in these ...
(IDFG). WPS use the MegaDetector API in real-time to detect threats to wildlife in the form of unauthorized humans or vehicles in protected areas. WPS connect camera traps to the cloud via cellular networks, upload photos, run them through the MegaDetector via the public API, and return ...
