Analysis of animal-related electric outages using species distribution models and community science data [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Animal-related outages (AROs) are a prevalent form of outages in electrical distribution systems. Animal-infrastructure interactions vary across focal species and regions, underlining the need to study the animal-outage relationship in more species and diverse systems.

Superregular grammars do not provide additional explanatory power but allow for a compact analysis of animal song [PDF]

, 2018
A pervasive belief with regard to the differences between human language and animal vocal sequences (song) is that they belong to different classes of computational complexity, with animal song belonging to regular languages, whereas human language is superregular.

Modeling the lowest-cost splitting of a herd of cows by optimizing a cost function [PDF]

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, volume 27, number 6, pages 063114, 2017, 2016
Animals live in groups to defend against predation and to obtain food. However, for some animals --- especially ones that spend long periods of time feeding --- there are costs if a group chooses to move on before their nutritional needs are satisfied. If the conflict between feeding and keeping up with a group becomes too large, it may be advantageous

Animal Classification System: A Block Based Approach [PDF]

Procedia Computer Science, Volume 45, 2015, Pages 336-343, 2016
In this work, we propose a method for the classification of animal in images. Initially, a graph cut based method is used to perform segmentation in order to eliminate the background from the given image. The segmented animal images are partitioned in to number of blocks and then the color texture moments are extracted from different blocks ...

Animal daily mobility patterns analysis using resting event networks [PDF]

Applied Network Science 6, 7 (2021), 2019
Characterizing the movement patterns of animals is crucial to improve our understanding of their behavior and thus develop adequate conservation strategies. Such investigations, which could not have been implemented in practice only a few years ago, have been facilitated through the recent advances in tracking methods that enable researchers to study ...

Metabolic Disorders in the Transition Period Indicate that the Dairy Cows’ Ability to Adapt is Overstressed

Animals, 2015
Metabolic disorders are a key problem in the transition period of dairy cows and often appear before the onset of further health problems. They mainly derive from difficulties the animals have in adapting to changes and disturbances occurring both ...

Why has animal science not led to improved farm animal health and welfare?

Frontiers in Animal Science
To sustain the economic viability of a livestock farm in a global market, characterised by a price undercutting competition, farmers are forced to adapt to what the market demands.

Scale-free correlations in bird flocks [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 107 (26), 11865-11870 (2010), 2009
From bird flocks to fish schools, animal groups often seem to react to environmental perturbations as if of one mind. Most studies in collective animal behaviour have aimed to understand how a globally ordered state may emerge from simple behavioural rules.

Laboratory Animal Welfare Approach in Science

Southeastern European Medical Journal, 2020
The term laboratory animal welfare has been generating a huge amount of controversial questions in science since the very beginning. Humans use animals that are suited to their needs, be they of a psychosocial, therapeutic, official, scientific or ...
