Land use policies can at times result in unintended consequences, often at the expense of entire ecosystems. This video on the privatization of land in and around the Mara-Serengeti in Kenya and Tanzania demonstrates how disease can spread when wildlife, livestock and humans cross over into each other's spaces. An integrated One Health approach in ...

The term “environmental flows” refers to a combination of features, including quantity, quality, and timing of water flows required to sustainably maintain a river’s health, balancing both ecological and societal needs. Incorporating basic human livelihood and sociocultural aspects in environmental flow assessments alongside ecological concerns pro...

Abstract—The characteristics of the mollusk assemblages in the Cenozoic key section at Kvachina Bay in West Kamchatka are given. Sixteen stratigraphically successive beds with mollusks, which are grouped in five horizons, are recognized in the sedimentary sequence with a total thickness of approximately 450 m. The biostratigraphic units are correla...
The role of questing ticks in the epidemiology of tick-borne diseases in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR), an ecosystem with intensified human-wildlife-livestock interactions, remains poorly understood. We surveyed the diversity of questing ticks, their blood-meal hosts, and tick-borne pathogens to understand potential effects on human a...

Plastics are widely used due to their excellent properties, inexpensiveness and versatility leading to an exponential consumption growth during the last decades. However, most plastic does not biodegrade in any meaningful sense; it can exist for hundreds of years. Only a small percentage of plastic waste is recycled, the rest being dumped in landfi...
Forest evaporation (Ei) is considered the main source of water vapor at a continental scale. Its quantification has been carried out in many ecosystems worldwide, applying the classical partitioning method to differentiate among sources of water vapor. This partitioning differentiates between transpiration (Et), soil evaporation (Es), water interce...
