More recently, traffic in this area has been increasing exponentially, concomitant with a decrease in the environmental awareness of the visitors. This pattern is also visible at the scale of Corsica, with dire environmental consequences for the natural heritage of this sensitive Mediterranean island....
Global distribution maps of critically endangered fishes and articles on critically endangered fishes were created using ArcMap 10.7.1 (ESRI 2019) and the outline of the countries was WGS 1984 from the ArcGIS Hub. We converted the projection to Eckert III. Breaks for symbology were determined by ...
The SPI mortality events affected numerous anuran species and occurred over a broad geographic area, from boreal to subtropical habitats. Livers from all PCR-tested SPI-tadpoles (n = 19) were positive for the Novel Alveolate Group 01 (NAG01) of Perkinsea, while only 2.5% histologically ...
We consider our model to be a useful management tool for assessing whether an animal is wounded or not during a shooting operation. It enables monitoring animal welfare outcomes over time, for a given shooting program both within and among mammal species. By using our approach, management authori...
2.1. Study Area and Object The research station is located in Shangri-La Yunnan Golden Monkey National Park, China (27°30′ N, 99°20′ E) where the altitude ranges from 2500 to 3800 m. The area is primarily covered by coniferous and broad-leaved forests [54]. The average annual tempe...
(mg/L) in the added water at each collection; n is the sampling frequency (dimensionless); VE is the overlying water volume (1.5 L); Vc is the water volume extracted or added into the overlying water (250 mL); AE is a surface area of sediment core (0.008 m2); t is the ...
In the European Union, grasslands account for 31.2% of the utilized agricultural area [6] and are mainly used for fodder and forage production [7]. To safeguard these ecosystem services, agricultural management needs to adjust to site-specific characteristics of grasslands to prevent, e.g., ...
3.1. Maps of Landslide Susceptibility Index Overall, the upstream areas of the Mailuu-Suu catchment are more unstable than the downstream areas under all three earthquake scenarios (Figure 4). Under the baseline scenario, the entire downstream area (the location of tailings ponds) belonged to stab...
focusing on the pivotal role of the Arctic area as a territory of national interests. The creation of a “conflict image” of the Arctic region is counterproductive. In this regard, it is necessary to put into practice the concept of Arctic solidarity, in order to promote integration processes...
The application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the monitoring and management of rangelands has exponentially increased in recent years due to the miniaturization of sensors, ability to capture imagery with high spatial resolution, lower altitude platforms, and the ease of flying UAVs in remote...
