The dynamic process of the wetland can reflect its impact on environment, and finding a balance point supporting harmonious coexistence between man nature has become an issue increasing concern. On basis previous studies that have focused local coastal wetlands, temporal spatial changes driving forces wetlands in Yancheng area from 1991 to 2021 were analyzed over larger area. According study fi...

Migratory shorebirds are among the most threatened groups of birds. They rely on natural intertidal habitats outside breeding season, but, to some extent have adjusted using man-made habitats. Here, we assessed importance coastal saltpans – a type anthropogenic wetland for feeding in migratory during their northward migration along East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). We combined low tide cou...

Drought is a common phenomenon in Iraq's environment, and the country has experienced severe drought events exacerbated by threat of climate change (low rainfall high temperatures) over past two decades. Iraq located semi-arid region whose water resources have been restricted mostly shared with its neighbours. To investigate effect on surface area Sawa lake, we analysed 52 Sentinel-2 images fro...

Abstract Waterbirds can transport aquatic invertebrates internally, contributing to metapopulation dynamics between habitats in a terrestrial matrix. However, research into this dispersal process date has focused on individual field sites or laboratory studies. We investigated the dispersed by endozoochory lesser black-backed gull Larus fuscus wintering Andalusia, south-west Spain 2016–2017, co...

This paper presents a case study for the analysis of endangered lowland native grassland communities in the Tasmanian Midlands region using field spectroscopy and spectral convolution techniques. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was significant improvement in classification accuracy for lowland native grasslands and other vegetation communities based on hyperspectral resoluti...

In Traditional Ayurvedic system of treatment Tragia involucrata Linn. is intended to use for diabetic patients has been screened for antioxidant activity. For antioxidant studies, aqueous ethanolic extract of Tragia involucrata (AEETI) was administered orally for 28 days at a dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight to StreptozotocinNicotinamide induced Wistar rats. All the animals were sacrificed...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep related breathing disorder associated with high morbidity and mortality. Digit ratio (2D:4D) a sexually dimorphic trait is a putative indicator of prenatal testosterone exposure and adult testosterone level. Present study aimed at investigating the correlation between 2D:4D ratio and OSA based on the study conducted on 290 volunteered participants of bot...

Pathogenic microorganisms have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to inactivate antibiotics and rendered an urgent need for new antibiotics that would target the emerging multidrug-resistance (Butler et al., 2013). Consequently, search for novel sources of potent antibiotics is desperately needed to develop potent drugs. Microbial resources have made an incredible contribution to the antibiotic d...

We present a new and innovative way of determining the oxygen level of Earth’s past atmosphere by directly measuring inclusion gases trapped in halite. After intensive screening using multiple depositional, textural/fabric, and geochemical parameters, we determined that tectonically undisturbed cumulate, chevron, and cornet halite inclusions may retain atmospheric gas during crystallization fro...
