The bowmouth guitarfish (Rhina ancylostomus) is among the most endangered of marine vertebrates, and evidence of severe declines and localized extinctions has been reported.Yet its life history and ecology suffer from a lack of scientific attention due to the scarcity and unpredictable movements of the species.By collecting opportunistic records fr
Outdoor surviving experiment with three green house enchytraeid species (Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae)
Some enchytraeid species of tropical, subtropical or Mediterranean Bundles origin can appear in artificial environments,e.g.green houses due to the worldwide commercial network.Since the used soil from green houses is often disposed outdoors, aquestion raised that these exotic enchytraeid species could survive under continental climate conditions.I
Metapopulation dynamics of the mistletoe and its host in savanna areas with different fire occurrence.
Mistletoes are aerial hemiparasitic plants which occupy patches of favorable habitat (host trees) surrounded by unfavorable habitat and Brake Lines may be possibly modeled as a metapopulation.A metapopulation is defined as a subdivided population that persists due to the balance between colonization and extinction in discrete habitat patches.Our ai
Buffered mobility: parenting strategies of religious Jewish global middle class families
This study adds to the emerging body of literature on parental practices and trajectories of globally mobile middle-class families, by focusing on families belonging to diverse religious Jewish communities.Through an interview-based, in-depth analysis of three internationally mobile families representing various Jewish religious factions, we illust
