Presence of microplastic in target species of small scale fisheries and possible social implications on the local communities
Microplastic ingestion by marine fishes has been of particular interest, as many species are the target of commercial fisheries and, thus, have a...

Protection and mortality of non-target terrestrial bird species during the eradication of rodents on Lord Howe Island
To eliminate the destructive impact of rodents on islands, conservation practitioners commonly use rodenticides to eradicate these pests. Frequently...

Identifying miRNAs and target genes associated with Allicin synthesis in Allium species
Plants in the Allium genus have a significant economic impact due to their production of important food and medicinal compounds. Despite their...

Mammalian PIWI–piRNA–target complexes reveal features for broad and efficient target silencing
The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is an adaptive defense system wherein piRNAs guide PIWI family Argonaute proteins to recognize and silence...

Using activity densities as an alternative approach to measuring ungulate giving-up densities in the presence of non-target species
AbstractGiving-up densities (GUDs) are a frequently used technique that ascertains the value of a forager’s patch use by measuring foraging harvest...

Ex situ conservation of threatened species of the flora of Cyprus: current status and future priorities with respect to the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation Target 8
Cyprus is located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, which is considered one of the world’s richest biodiversity hotspots characterised by...

When non-target wildlife species and alien species both affect negatively to an artisanal fishery: the case of trammel net in the Alboran Sea
In the Northern Alboran Sea, artisanal small-scale fisheries using trammel nets suffer economic losses, and local fishermen see their way-of-life...

Definition of Species and Mysteries of Evolution
We have already discussed that the nucleotide composition at each letter position of the codon is highly skewed from a completely random composition,...

Predator-avoidance behaviour of target and non-target temperate reef fishes is lower in areas protected from fishing
The effects of hunting on predator-avoidance behaviour are increasingly being recognised on land but have received less attention in marine systems....

Untangling multi-species fisheries data with species distribution models
Long-term trends in fisheries catch are useful to monitor effects of fishing on wild populations. However, fisheries catch data are often aggregated...

Species Methods
This chapter is essentially a follow-on from the previous chapter, but with an additional level of complexity. One can simply add an additional...

Phytotoxicity of glycosylated flavonols extracted from Annona coriacea (Annonaceae) on germination and initial growth of standard target species and an invasive grass
Annona coriacea Mart. is a Brazilian native species whose phytotoxicity was described, although there is no data about the compounds responsible for...

Modelling spatiotemporal trends in the frequency of genetic mutations conferring insecticide target-site resistance in African mosquito malaria vector species
BackgroundResistance in malaria vectors to pyrethroids, the most widely used class of insecticides for malaria vector control, threatens the...

Species Diagnosis and DNA Taxonomy
The use of DNA has helped to improve and speed up species identification and delimitation. However, it also provides new challenges to taxonomists....

Baited video, but not diver video, detects a greater contrast in the abundance of two legal-size target species between no-take and fished zones
Inherent differences between baited remote video versus diver-operated video survey methodologies may influence their ability to detect effects of...

Improvement of Crops Using the CRISPR/Cas System: New Target Genes
AbstractThe success of genome editing of crops using the CRISPR/Cas system largely depends on the correct choice of target genes, for which directed...
