... species in most areas, however, freshwater turtles, despite extremely high nest predation from foxes, remain among the highest biomass of any vertebrate in the ecosystem. The secret is their resilience through adaptive changes of a life history pattern that is strongly density dependent, however...

... there is strong evidence. An opposing view, here termed the Adaptable Bat syndrome, emerged in the 1980's. Rather than being of conservation concern, bats were portrayed as resilient, adaptable ecological generalists that could not “reasonably” be considered at risk from human impacts. The Adaptable Bat...

The biomineralisation processes of corals inhabiting extreme and marginal environments remains an underexplored area of research and has the potential to yield valuable insights into how corals might adapt to climate change and the mechanisms that underlie their resilience to global environmental change. coral reef...
