TL;DR: Data on the presence of wild orang-utans in the Ketambe area (Sumatera, Indonesia), collected over 12 consecutive years, were analysed to study population structure and residential status and show that non-residents of both sexes are equally attracted to the study area when food is abundant.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present local earthquake data from a dense, amphibious local seismic network covering a segment of the Sumatran margin that last ruptured in 1797, and a well defined linear streak of seismicity extending from 80 to 200 km depth lies along the prolongation of closely spaced Investigator Fracture Zone (IFZ) sub-ridges.

TL;DR: The Balinese communities still preserve a rich ethnobotanical knowledge and several species are well known for their pharmacological properties, but some are understudied and could be promising candidates for further research.

TL;DR: Strong intraspecific allometry was evident for most of the life-history traits measured, including reproductive output, and these giant pythons were near or beyond the extremes reported for smaller species of snakes, supporting the importance of allometry.
Abstract: Many life-history traits are allometrically tied to body size, in snakes as well as in other animals. Two problems with previous analyses on this topic for snakes are that: (i) the range of body sizes within species is generally small, so that most analyses have relied on interspecific comparisons; and (ii) available data have been heavily biased towards small, temperate-zone colubroid species. We test the generality of results from previous work with data on a species of giant tropical snake that is phylogenetically and ecologically distinctive, and encompasses such a massive size range that we can examine intraspecific allometries. We use data from >1,000 field-collected reticulated pythons from southern Sumatra to ask two questions: (i) do life-history traits show intraspecific allometries similar to those revealed by interspecific comparisons?; and (ii) are mean values for life-history traits in a giant snake consistent with allometric trends in smaller species? As predicted, strong intraspecific allometry was evident for most of the life-history traits we measured, including reproductive output (e.g. clutch size, frequency of reproduction in females, testis volume relative to body mass) and energy stores (relative size of the abdominal fat bodies). For many traits (e.g. the means and variances of clutch sizes and maternal body sizes, relative offspring size, body size at maturation relative to size at hatching and maximum adult size), these giant pythons were near or beyond the extremes reported for smaller species of snakes, supporting the importance of allometry. None the less, reticulated pythons deviate from many of these previously-documented allometries in significant ways, suggesting that current generalizations about life-history allometry in snakes may be premature.

TL;DR: This first global assessment of extinction risk for a major group of freshwater invertebrates, caridean shrimps, finds that two species are extinct with a further 10 possibly extinct, and almost one third of species are either threatened or Near Threatened (NT).
Abstract: We present the first global assessment of extinction risk for a major group of freshwater invertebrates, caridean shrimps. The risk of extinction for all 763 species was assessed using the IUCN Red List criteria that include geographic ranges, habitats, ecology and past and present threats. The Indo-Malayan region holds over half of global species diversity, with a peak in Indo-China and southern China. Shrimps primarily inhabit flowing water; however, a significant subterranean component is present, which is more threatened than the surface fauna. Two species are extinct with a further 10 possibly extinct, and almost one third of species are either threatened or Near Threatened (NT). Threats to freshwater shrimps include agricultural and urban pollution impact over two-thirds of threatened and NT species. Invasive species and climate change have the greatest overall impact of all threats (based on combined timing, scope and severity of threats).
