A phytosome is a complex formed by a natural active ingredient and a phospholipid. The most common example of a phytosome is Lecithin. [1] Phytosomes are claimed to enhance the absorption of "conventional herbal extracts" or isolated active principles, both topically [2] and orally. [3]
Population viability analysis (PVA) is a species-specific method of risk assessment frequently used in conservation biology.It is traditionally defined as the process that determines the probability that a population will go extinct within a given number of years.
Processed foods containing fruit shouldn’t go in your dog’s bowl. Dr. Fossum says these products have added sugars and sweeteners, like xylitol, that can do major damage to doggy insides.
The bush dog (Speothos venaticus) is a canine found in Central and South America. [1] [2] In spite of its extensive range, it is very rare in most areas except in Suriname, Guyana and Peru; [2] [4] it was first described by Peter Wilhelm Lund from fossils in Brazilian caves and was believed to be extinct.
A review of estimates from 82 studies, which have collectively projected the distribution of over 400,000 species, was published in 2024. The results suggested that between 13.9% and 27.6% of all species would be likely to go extinct by 2070 under the "moderate" emission scenario RCP4.5 and between 22.7 and 31.6% under the high-emission RCP8.5 ...
Historically, the Nivkh people would dock the last 1/3 of the tail at birth to prevent dogs from grabbing each other's tails while pulling a sled. [ 3 ] [ 6 ] Sakhalin huskies can have black, red, gray, and brindle coloring; however, black dogs are preferred as the color is the most visible during a snow storm.
Likely extinct due to breeding habitat degradation by introduced feral goats and predation by feral cats and dogs; however the natural difficulty of its detection, lack of thorough surveys in the breeding season after 1906 and reports of unidentified storm-petrel calls at night may indicate that it is still extant.
Distributing vaccinations to wildlife who are particularly vulnerable is useful in conservation to prevent or decelerate extreme population declination in a species from disease and also decrease the risk of a zoonotic spillover to humans. A pathogen that has never once been exposed to a specific species' evolutionary pathway can have ...
