Effect of Relocation, Social Housing Changes, and Diarrhea Status on Microbiome Composition of Juvenile Cynomolgus Macaques (Macaca fascicularis) [PDF]
MicroorganismsSocial housing changes are likely stressful and can be associated with diarrhea, the most common health problem noted in captive macaque populations. Diarrhea may reflect a negative shift in the gut flora (“gut dysbiosis”). This study reported on changes

Combined effects of landscape fragmentation and sampling frequency of movement data on the assessment of landscape connectivity [PDF]
Movement EcologyBackground Network theory is largely applied in real-world systems to assess landscape connectivity using empirical or theoretical networks. Empirical networks are usually built from discontinuous individual movement trajectories without knowing the ...
