Investigating plant awareness: Image composition affects student perceptions of flora and fauna

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effect of the positoning of plants and animals in landscape photographs on their perception by students and the detail with which they get described. We conclude that the positioning of plants, among other factors, significantly influences how strongly they are perceived.

Factors affecting velvet antler weights in free-ranging reindeer in Alaska

Rangifer, 1999
Free-ranging reindeer on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska are rounded up from late May to early July and antlers are removed. We used data collected from 1987 to 1997 to determine how velvet antler weights of males and females varied with age, year,

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Quantitative Proteomics Based on Data-Independent Acquisition Reveals Differential Protein Expression in Sika Deer Antler-Derived Traditional Chinese Medicine Across Different Growth Periods

Applied Sciences
Deer antler-derived medicinal materials, including antler velvet, antlers, and deer antler base, exhibit differential therapeutic efficacy across developmental stages, though their molecular mechanisms at the proteomic level remain uncharacterized.

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

BRCA1 is involved in sustaining rapid antler growth possibly via balancing of the p53/endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway

Biology Direct
Background Regeneration is the preferred approach to restore the structure and function after tissue damage. Rapid proliferation of cells over the site of damage is integral to the process of regeneration.

Recherches autour des critères d’identification sexuelle des bois de renne

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2015
Antler has been one of the main raw material exploited by high latitude people such as that of prehistoric Europe when reindeer (Rangifer tarandus Linn. 1758) was a common species of Pleistocene Fauna.

Pitfalls and problems in analysing and interpreting the seasonality of faunal remains [PDF]

, 1999
Seasonality studies are an important tool in archaeological research, as long as methods are correctly applied. This paper aims to highlight problems which arise in seasonality studies due to a lack of understanding by archaeologists of animal behaviour ...
