Artificial supplementary food influences hedgehog occupancy and activity patterns more than predator presence or natural food availability

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Behavior Change Projects in Zoological Collections: Application of the Behavior Change Wheel

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Projects identified from zoo websites and their initial categorization. ABSTRACT Human behavior change is needed to stop the triple planetary crisis. Zoos reach millions of people every year and there is evidence available that people do change their behavior because of zoo led interventions.

Effects of Simulated Dusk and Dawn on Activity and Feeding of Puerto Rican Crested Toads (Peltophryne lemur) in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Puerto Rican crested toads (Peltophryne lemur) that were provided with dim night lights to simulate a natural dusk and dawn moved more frequently than those kept in complete darkness at night. Toads moved more at dusk and dawn than in the middle of the night. ABSTRACT Night light may affect captive amphibians in alternative ways. Captive amphibians may

Bayesian perspective for orientation determination in cryo‐EM with application to structural heterogeneity analysis

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
A Bayesian perspective on orientation estimation in cryo‐EM is presented, with the minimum mean‐square error estimator outperforming standard cross‐correlation‐based approaches, particularly under challenging low signal‐to‐noise conditions. We demonstrate that improved orientation estimation has a decisive impact on 3D reconstruction quality and ...
