Our analysis revealed that 48% of digitised segments are exposed to at least one threat. São Vicente, Santiago, and Sal are the most affected islands, mainly from marine debris and light pollution, while Santo Antão and Maio are the least impacted. Leer más.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) based on the presence data of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) can overestimate the mortality risk of chytridiomycosis because the environmental conditions suitable for Bd presence do not always correspond to those conducive to significant host mortality. Leer más.
Ecological niche modelling suggests that the species’ range may be nearly twice as large as previously assumed from its entire range, now extending into Tabuk, Medina, Bahah, and Ha’il Provinces of Saudi Arabia, showing a significant range extension. Leer más.
