Chen Y, Cao L, Yue Y · Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland) · 2024-09 · open access
Aiming at the problems of chameleon swarm algorithm (CSA), such as slow convergence speed, poor robustness, and ease of falling into the local optimum, a multi-strategy improved chameleon optimization algorithm (ICSA) is herein proposed. Firstly, logistic mapping was introduced to initialize the…

Ingraldi AL, Allen T, Tinghitella JN et al. · Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland) · 2024-09 · open access
Human amniotic membrane (hAM), the innermost placental layer, has unique properties that allow for a multitude of clinical applications. It is a common misconception that birth-derived tissue products, such as dual-layered dehydrated amnion-amnion graft (dHAAM), are similar regardless of the…

Bogan JE Jr, Ossiboff RJ, Childress AL et al. · Viruses · 2024-09 · open access
A breeding colony of wild-origin eastern indigo snakes (EISs, Drymarchon couperi ) that is part of a reintroduction program has been impacted by gastric cryptosporidiosis. Gastric cryptosporidiosis is an insidious disease of squamates caused by an apicomplexan protozoan, Cryptosporidium serpentis .…

Stacy NI, Smith R, Sullivan KE et al. · Conservation physiology · 2024-09 · open access
Reproduction is a physiologically demanding process for sea turtles. Health indicators, including morphometric indices and blood analytes, provide insight into overall health, physiology and organ function for breeding sea turtles as a way to assess population-level effects. The Archie Carr…
- Effects of life history strategies and habitats on limb regeneration in plethodontid salamanders.
Bothe V, Müller H, Shubin N et al. · Developmental dynamics : an official publication of the American Association of Anatomists · 2024-09 · open access
Background Salamanders are the only tetrapods that exhibit the ability to fully regenerate limbs. The axolotl, a neotenic salamander, has become the model organism for regeneration research. Great advances have been made providing a detailed understanding of the morphological and molecular…

Barnes CH, Abdulaziz UZ, Kaenphet A et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2024-09 · open access
More than 240 species of snake have been described from Thailand, yet basic natural history and ecology for this group of animals remains scarce in human disturbed environments despite conservation and human medical significance of them in these habitats. We studied snake diversity at Walailak…
- Age truncation due to disease shrinks metapopulation viability for amphibians.
Heard GW, Scroggie MP, Hollanders M et al. · The Journal of animal ecology · 2024-09 · open access
Metapopulations often exist in a fragile balance between local extinctions and (re)colonisations, in which case emerging threats that alter species vital rates may drastically increase metapopulation extinction risk. We combined empirical data with metapopulation simulations to examine how…
