Challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions in assessing status and trends of Spheniscus penguinsOA Marine
Reliable, up-to-date assessments of population status and trends are essential for effective conservation. For the four Spheniscus penguin species, these are often undermined by methodological and logistical constraints due to their unique breeding ecology (e.g., burrow nesting and asynchronous breeding). As a result, no single survey method is universally applicable across the genus. Moreover, uneven sampling effort, inconsis...
Assessing Southern Gulf of Mexico Resilience: Least Tern Nesting Failure During the COVID-19 PandemicNARA Subscribed
The COVID-19 lockdown opened an opportunity to assess the response of animal populations to diminished human activities. As coastal dunes face many disturbances caused by increasing human activities, we assessed the effect of reduced human mobility on coastal bird diversity and abundance and on the Least Tern nest failure rate on an island in the southern Gulf of Mexico before, during, and after the lockdown to test the hypoth...
Purposes Enterococcal BSI is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with fatality rates of approximately 20–30%. There are microbiological and clinical differences between E. faecalis and E. faecium infections. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in predisposing factors for E. faecalis and E. faecium BSI and to explore prognostic factors. Methods This study was a post-hoc analysis of PROBAC, a Sp...
Nestling sex and behaviour determine the host preference of insect vectors in avian nestsNARA Subscribed
Sexual differences in pathogen prevalence in wildlife often arise from varying susceptibility influenced by factors such as sex hormones and exposure to pathogens. In the case of vector‐borne pathogens, host selection by insect vectors determines the exposure of hosts to infections, largely affecting the transmission of these infectious diseases. We identify the blood‐feeding patterns of insect vectors in Blue Tit ( Cyanistes...
NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large‐scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distri...
