Habitat loss from anthropogenic development has led to an unprecedented decline in global biodiversity. Protected areas (PAs) exist counteract this degradation of ecosystems. In the European Union, Natura 2000 (N2k) network is basis for continent-wide conservation efforts. N2k world's largest coordinated protected areas. However, threats ecosystems do not stop at borders PAs. As measured by a landscape fragmentation metric, can affect interiors To ensure long-term viability PAs, paper...

Abstract Habitat destruction and loss are the gravest threats to wildlife worldwide. We examined correlation between habitat patch size species richness abundance of mammals reptiles in a biodiversity hotspot California. Within nine forest fragments standardized for age, topography, climate, vegetation cover, we tested effects isolation on biodiversity. To measure abundance, used cameras meso‐and‐large vertebrates, mark‐and‐recapture analyses small mammals, mark‐and‐resight analysis...

Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) protected area (PA) network is a crucial tool to limit biodiversity loss in Europe. Despite covering 18% of the European Union's (EU) land area, its effectiveness at conserving across taxa and biogeographic regions remains uncertain. Testing this is, however, difficult because it requires considering nonrandom location PAs, many possible confounding factors. We used propensity score matching accounted for effects regions, terrain ruggedness, cover assess N2K...

These three cases had 8;21 translocation, t (8;21), the marrow karyotype also of tissue obtained from two cases. Treatment chemotherapy radiotherapy can be effective, but an emergency laminectomy should performed if there is rapid neurologic progression.
