Re-establishment of elephant in the Hluhluwe and Umfolozi Game Reserves, Natal, South Africa by A. Wills

“…The article discusses the potential problems identified during the planning, and how the monitoring of the programme was conducted in terms of observing movement patterns, feeding behaviour and mortality rate. Thus far the programme, which released 26 animals in Hluhluwe and 30 in Umfolozi and maintains that 18 and 20 are now living in the respective areas, is considered a success. …”

Proactive and Reactive Response Inhibition across the Lifespan. by Peter Smittenaar, Robb B Rutledge, Peter Zeidman, Rick A Adams, Harriet Brown, Glyn Lewis, Raymond J Dolan

“…Both forms of control rely on overlapping frontostriatal pathways known to deteriorate in healthy aging, an age-related decline that occurs at an accelerated rate in men compared to women. Here we ask whether these patterns of age-related decline are reflected in similar changes in proactive and reactive inhibitory control across the lifespan. …”

Role of arrowworm Sagitta elegans (Chaetognatha) in plankton communities of the western Bering Sea by E. P. Dulepova

“…The arrowworm production decreased in these warm years but production of non-predatory species (basically small- and medium-sized copepods) increased sharply because of their rapid response to temperature changes realized in high growth rate under higher temperature. Thus, the role of S. elegans in formation of the community production becomes lower in conditions favorable for high growth rate of non-predatory species.…”
