• Animal reactivity to camera traps and its effects on abundance estimate using distance sampling in the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire.

  Authors:Noël Adiko Houa, Noémie Cappelle, Eloi Anderson Bitty, Emmanuelle Normand, Yves Aka Kablan, and Christophe BoeschFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  May 27, 20228,714 words Article 1390LThe use of camera traps (CTs) has become an increasingly popular method of studying wildlife, as CTs are able to detect rare, nocturnal, and elusive species in remote and difficult-to-access areas. It thus makes them...

• Ability of functional performance assessments to discriminate athletes with and without chronic ankle instability : a case-control study.

  Authors:Madhura S. Jamsandekar, Vivek Dineshbhai Patel, Ashish J. Prabhakar, Charu Eapen, and Justin W.L. KeoghFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  May 27, 20225,736 words Report 1550LBackground The decline in motor function associated with chronic ankle instability (CAI) can be assessed using Functional Performance tests. Ankle muscular strength, endurance and range of motion (ROM) has been...

• Proteomic analysis of differential anther development from sterile/fertile lines in Capsicum annuum L.

  Authors:Hongxia Pei, Hua Xie, Xuemei Wang, Xiujuan Yan, Baike Wang, Haiping Feng, et al.From:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  May 27, 20228,847 words Article 1380LBackground Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a major cash crop throughout the world. Male sterility is an important characteristic in crop species that leads to a failure to produce functional pollen, and it has crucial...

• Sexual dimorphism in shell size of the land snail Leptopoma perlucidum (Caenogastropoda: Cyclophoridae).

  Authors:Chee-Chean Phung, Ming-Huei Choo, and Thor-Seng LiewFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  May 27, 20224,130 words Article 1260LSexual dimorphism in the shell size and shape of land snails has been less explored compared to that of other marine and freshwater snail taxa. This study examined the differences in shell size and shape across both...

• Influence of DNA extraction kits on freshwater fungal DNA metabarcoding.

  Authors:Shunsuke Matsuoka, Yoriko Sugiyama, Mariko Nagano, and Hideyuki DoiFrom:PeerJ (Vol. 10) Peer-Reviewed

  May 27, 20226,231 words Article 1380LBackground Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a common technique for efficient biodiversity monitoring, especially of microbes. Recently, the usefulness of aquatic eDNA in monitoring the diversity of both...
