Lemur habitat and dental senescence in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.

Not only can teeth provide clues about diet, but they also can be indicators of habitat quality. Conspecific groups living in different habitats with different kinds of foods may exhibit different rates of dental attrition because their teeth are less well adapted to some foods than to others. Ecological disequilibrium describes the situation in which animals live in habitats to which they are ...

Mapping of Fire Severity and Comparison of Severity Indices across Vegetation Types in Gibraltar Range National Park, Australia

The effect of fire on natural resources is termed “fire severity” and is related to the energy output of the fire. Recently the term “burn severity” has been introduced to identify the impacts of fire on soil and plants when the fire has been extinguished. This study addresses the assessment of a large wildfire in Gibraltar Range National Park, Australia, through remote sensing of fire severity...
