Staying out of trouble: Apparent plagiarism and academic survival

Journal of Second Language Writing, 1998
Abstract Textual borrowing by second language students in academic settings has traditionally been viewed as an intentional violation of Western norms and practices. As we have learned from recent discussions, however, the issue is not that simple, but fraught with complexities.

Favourable inland wetland conditions increase apparent survival of migratory shorebirds in Australia

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2021
Many migratory shorebird species using the East Asian–Australasian Flyway are declining rapidly. While the loss of staging habitats in East Asia is considered the primary cause, stressors to fitness often occur throughout the geographic range of declining species, and threats in the non-breeding grounds have been comparatively poorly studied.

Estimates of Apparent Survival Rates for Forest Birds in Eastern Ecuador

Biotropica, 2008
ABSTRACTKnowledge of survival rates of Neotropical landbirds remains limited, with estimates of apparent survival available from relatively few sites and species. We used capture–mark–recapture models to estimate apparent survival of 31 species from eastern Ecuador based on data collected from 2001 to 2006. Models assuming constant survival had highest

Pulsed food resources affect reproduction but not adult apparent survival in arctic foxes

Oecologia, 2020
As top or mesopredators, carnivores play a key role in food webs. Their survival and reproduction are usually thought to be influenced by prey availability. However, simultaneous monitoring of prey and predators is difficult, making it challenging to evaluate the impacts of prey on carnivores' demography.

A reanalysis of apparent survival rates of Indiana myotis (Myotis sodalis)

Acta Chiropterologica, 2007
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The estimation of demographic rates is important for conservation and management of species. However, with the exception of an estimate for adult survival by Humphrey and Cope in 1977, there are no estimates of any demographic rates for the endangered Indiana myotis (Myotis sodalis).

Presentation andSurvival of Prehospital Apparent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Prehospital Emergency Care, 2005
Prehospital providers are often involved in the resuscitation of apparent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) victims; however, data are few on the presentation and outcome of these patients.To describe the presentation and determine the survival rate of infants who have an unwitnessed, prehospital arrest consistent with SIDS (apparent SIDS), and to ...

Leading from the middle: surviving the squeeze of apparently irreconcilable forces

Leadership & Organization Development Journal, 2002

Supervisors and subordinates, however, may have differing perspectives on and differing expectations of the leader’s or manager’s decisions or actions.

Apparent Survival and Population Growth of Snowy Plovers in Coastal Northern California

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2010
ABSTRACT An accurate understanding of factors influencing survival and how they affect population growth are required to determine the best conservation strategies for small populations, especially near the limit of a species' range.

Apparent Survival of Male Harlequin Ducks Molting at the Gannet Islands, Labrador

Waterbirds, 2008
Abstract Survival rates are an essential parameter for understanding the dynamics and status of wild populations. Apparent survival (the combined probability of surviving and returning to a site) and capture rates were estimated for male Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) (second-year, N = 30, adult, N = 83) that were captured and/or resighted
