Abstract Riverine systems and associated fish populations worldwide are threatened by human impacts, especially in tropical countries with emerging economies. In India, community-based sanctuaries a key mechanism for the conservation of freshwater populations, but there few peer-reviewed studies on this subject. Here we integrate over 35 combined years field experience literature synthesis to d...

Information on retroviruses infections in great apes is scarce, especially for apes kept in sanctuaries throughout Africa. To investigate the prevalence of retroviruses and possible transmission of different retroviruses originating from chimpanzees of different origin (Uganda, Congo and Rwanda), 38 wild-born captive orphan chimpanzees residing in a sanctuary on Ngamba Island were analyzed for ...

As part of ongoing efforts to better understand the nature of shipwrecks in National Marine Sanctuaries which may pose some level of pollution risk, and in this case, to definitively locate what is likely the only shipwreck in a sanctuary involved in both nuclear testing and nuclear waste disposal, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries collaborated with NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration...

The influence of micro-habitat on stoat (Mustela erminea) and rat (Rattus rattus) capture success was explored using trapping data collected from large scale predator control operations at the Okarito and Moehau Kiwi (Apteryx spp.) sanctuaries. Generalised linear models were used to explore the relationship between microhabitat predictors and predator kill trapping records from individual trap ...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are heterogeneous diseases growing either in nodal or extranodal locations including the central nervous system. One key issue is to decipher the prognostic value of immune cells infiltrating these tumors as DLBCLs developing in sanctuaries are more aggressive than nodal DLCBLs. Here, we summarize available data from the literature regarding the prognosti...
