Saliva plays a crucial role in oral defense across mammals by combining host-derived antimicrobial factors with antagonistic indigenous microbiota. Understanding the composition of the oral lactic microbiota in wild canids may provide valuable insights into microbial ecology and animal health. In this study, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus spp. isolated from the saliva of South American bush dogs ( Speothos venaticus ) and mane...

A key assumption of the ideal free distribution theory is that animals select resources based on environmental cues that maximize fitness, thereby facilitating natural selection within a population. Habitat management and conservation practices are commonly based on results of resource selection models with the assumption that selection and fitness are correlated. This is concerning given that this critical assumption has been...

Accurate characterization of CO₂-brine relative permeability and residual trapping is essential to design reliable carbon sequestration in geological formations. This study presents an integrated workflow that combines special core analysis (SCAL), digital rock physics (DRP) and pore-network modeling (PNM). This workflow is used to quantify and accurately assess the multiphase flow and capillary trapping of CO₂ in reservoir sa...
