Li J, Lu Y, Chen H et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2024-08 · open access
Dietary lipids provide energy for animals and can also be converted into other nutrients (such as non-essential amino acids), which play a role in saving protein. The Chinese stripe-necked turtle is a protected and endangered species that has been bred in captivity; however, basic data on lipid…
- Assessing abundance-suitability models to prioritize conservation areas for the dwarf caimans in South America.
Rodriguez-Cordero AL, Balaguera-Reina SA, Gross BA et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2024-08 · open access
Species-environment relationships have been extensively explored through species distribution models (SDM) and species abundance models (SAM), which have become key components to understand the spatial ecology and population dynamics directed at biodiversity conservation. Nonetheless, within the…
- No sex-dependent mortality in an amphibian upon infection with the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis .
Ujszegi J, Ujhegyi N, Balogh E et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2024-08 · open access
One of the major factors driving the currently ongoing biodiversity crisis is the anthropogenic spread of infectious diseases. Diseases can have conspicuous consequences, such as mass mortality events, but may also exert covert but similarly severe effects, such as sex ratio distortion via…
- The description of the first rock-dwelling species of butterfly lizard Leiolepis Cuvier, 1829 (Squamata, Agamidae) from the Khorat Plateau in northeastern Thailand.
Wanchai P, Rujirawan A, Murdoch ML et al. · ZooKeys · 2024-08 · open access
A new species of rock-dwelling Leiolepis is described from the Khorat Plateau in northeastern Thailand. Leiolepisglaurung sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other sexual species of Leiolepis by a combination of having a black gular region with a wide medial yellow stripe, a yellow ventrum with…
- Incorporating citizen science into IUCN Red List assessments.
Gallagher R, Roger E, Packer J et al. · Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology · 2024-08 · open access
INTRODUCTION Citizen science for biodiversity monitoring has arrived (Chandler et al.,; Fontaine et al., ). Recent initiatives demonstrate that, collectively, citizen scientists are capturing unprecedented volumes of data (Figure ) (Aristeidou et al.,; Perry et al.,; Peter et al.,; Unger et al., ).…

Erickson MCM, Gendron KP, Aguilar LAB et al. · Veterinary radiology & ultrasound : the official journal of the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the International Veterinary Radiology Association · 2024-08 · open access
Computed tomography is commonly used to evaluate the reptile coelom. One challenge in the acquisition of contrast-enhanced CT studies in reptiles is the difficulty in placing intravenous catheters due to the poor conspicuity of peripheral vessels. To overcome these limitations, intraosseous…

Felix Deiß, Philipp Ginal, Dennis Rödder · Diversity · 2024-08 · open access
Chytridiomycosis is one of the greatest threats to the diversity of amphibians worldwide. Caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), it plays a decisive role in species declines. Bsal is particularly harmful to the European fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra),…
