Owing to habitat loss and fragmentation, large mammal populations all over the world are becoming increasingly small and isolated. It is therefore a conservation priority to understand mechanisms influencing the demography of such populations, which can easily be driven to extinction. The Przewalski's ...
Green bone fractures predominate and length and circumference analyses confirm the great impact of anthropogenic processes on long bone fragmentation. This is also supported by the quasi-absence of carnivore marks and remains. Sediment pressure loading and frost action had not a significant influence as...
which are widely employed in reconstructing molecular evolution, but often without a critical analysis of the physiological and biochemical features of mitochondria that affect the adequacy and reliability of the results. In addition
of this area is currently under protection, leaving most of the area unmanaged. Previous studies had not identified the conservation gap in this area. Integrating the MS-C-1 and MS-C-2 regions into the comprehensive management of the national park might prevent future habitat fragmentation. ...
Increasing population, industrialization and use of agricultural land in the world results in devastation and fragmentation of natural areas, and thus the wild life is threatened. Especially big carnivorous animals are influenced heavily by this situation. They are vulnerable due to the need for wide...
Using the Patch Analyst 4.2 software, the interactions, fragmentation states, habitat qualities, sizes, differences of the patches that make up the matrix of the research area were evaluated on the basis of landscape ecology.YILDIZ, Nalan DEMRCOLU...
The Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park System Pilot Area covers the main distribution range of northeast China tiger and leopard in China. It is also the most important settlement and breeding area for these animals. At present, there are about 27 northeast China tigers and 42 north...
Our observations suggest that allochthonous Cloudina deposits from the Tamengo Formation present evidence of taphonomic influences on the transporting/reworking of fragmentation and disarticulation of Cloudina tubes. Differences in size distributions between some of the localities have demonstrated that this...
Even though many articles report apoptotic death of primary neurons in vitro after OGD, these claims are sometimes merely based on the TUNEL assay, a measure of DNA fragmentation, which is not specific for apoptosis [25,26]. In addition, most papers use (cortical) neurons from rats rather ...
Greater fragmentation and latitudinal arrangement are characteristic features of the microregions located in the young glacial zone. There are 133 microregions (73.5% of units) within its boundaries. They have an average area of 116 km2 and 59% of them could be characterized by a clearly visible...
