Exoplanets’ delicate balance: habitable to hostile in moments.
Exoplanets can swiftly transition from habitable conditions to extreme environments due to various factors like atmospheric changes, stellar activity, and orbital alterations. The delicate balance in a planet’s conditions—such as temperature, atmospheric composition, and distance from its star—can rapidly shift, turning a potentially habitable world into an uninhabitable one. External influences like increased solar radiation, […]
Mountains alter El Niño precipitation: windward rain, leeward dryness.
Mountains significantly influence El Niño-induced winter precipitation by altering atmospheric circulation patterns. When El Niño occurs, warm ocean temperatures in the Pacific lead to changes in the jet stream and atmospheric pressure. As air masses move across mountains, they rise and cool, causing moisture to condense and precipitate on the windward side, creating increased precipitation. […]
Global Distribution Patterns of Threatened Geckos in Zoos: A Comprehensive Analysis Using ZIMS and ZTL Databases
Exploring global gecko conservation in zoos, our study utilizes ZIMS and ZTL databases to assess the distribution patterns of threatened Gekkota species. Only 9.3% of recognized gecko species are kept, with 20.4% classified as threatened. While European, North American, and Australian zoos house most species, Oceania prioritizes native geckos. Breeding success is observed in 38.0% […]
