Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global
biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a …

Habitat loss and degradation, driven largely by agricultural expansion and intensification,
present the greatest immediate threat to biodiversity. Tropical forests harbour among the …

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as
habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global …

Establishing operations can alter problem behaviors by changing the momentary value of
reinforcers associated with those problem behaviors. If establishing operations (EOs) precede …

with Rehabilitation a new therapeutic tool which gives very good results for the treatment of

The aim of this study is to analyse the deep fasciae of limbs in order to evaluate the
collagen and elastic fibre arrangement and the types of innervation. Histological and …

Artificial lighting is a particular problem for animals active at night. Approximately 69% of
mammal species are nocturnal, and one-third of these are bats. Due to their extensive …

Fifteen unembalmed cadavers were dissected in order to study the “anatomical continuity”
between the various muscles involved in the movement of flexion of the upper limb. This study …

Classical anatomy still relegates muscular fascia to a role of contention. Nonetheless, different
hypotheses concerning the function of this resilient tissue have led to the formulation of …
