The common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings ( n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis ( n = 43 from 1997 to 2019) along the Portuguese mainland coast. Strandings were more frequent in the...
Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Human Footprint Halves Tail Loss Rates in Geckos WorldwideNARA Subscribed
Aim Anthropogenic changes alter predator–prey systems worldwide. Defensive behaviour is shaped by the costs and benefits for individuals, and we hypothesise that tail shedding, as an escape strategy, has a higher cost for animals in human‐modified environments compared to natural landscapes. Therefore, our central objective was to evaluate the effects of human footprint on the observed frequency of caudal autotomy in geckos. L...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
