Journal of Field OrnithologyWe studied the return rate, apparent survival, and probability of recapture of the Saffron Finch ( Sicalis flaveola pelzelni ), a thraupid with sexual dichromatism and age-related male feather phenotypes; the second-year males are dull and ...

Journal of Avian Biology, 2016 Our understanding of the full life cycle of most migratory birds remains limited. Estimates of survival rates, particularly for first‐year birds are notably lacking.

Exceptionally high apparent adult survival in three tropical species of plovers in Madagascar
Journal of Avian Biology, 2022 Adult survival is a key component of population dynamics, and understanding variation in and the drivers of adult survival rates and longevity is critical for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for conservation biology and practice. Tropical

Persistence pays: how viruses promote host group survival. [PDF]
, 2009 Recently, we have realized that viruses numerically dominate all life. Although viruses are known to affect host survival in populations, this has not been previously evaluated in the context of host group selection.

Scale-free energy dissipation and dynamic phase transition in stochastic sandpiles
, 1999 We study numerically scaling properties of the distribution of cumulative energy dissipated in an avalanche and the dynamic phase transition in a stochastic directed cellular automaton [B. Tadi\'c and D. Dhar, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 79}, 1519 (1997)] in d=

Geometric Parameterization of $J/\Psi$ Absorption in Heavy Ion Collisions [PDF]
, 1998 We calculate the survival probability of $J/\Psi$ particles in various colliding systems using a Glauber model. An analysis of recent data has reported a $J/\Psi$-nucleon breakup cross section of 6.2$\pm$0.7 mb derived from an exponential fit to the ...

Survival analysis for apparent diffusion coefficient measures in children with embryonal brain tumours [PDF]
Neuro-Oncology, 2012 Embryonal brain tumors constitute a large and important subgroup of pediatric brain tumors. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measures have been previously used in the analysis of these tumors. We investigated a newly described ADC-derived parameter, the apparent transient coefficient in tumor (ATCT), a measure of the gradient change of ADC from the

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Climatic variation influences annual survival of an island‐breeding tropical shorebird
Journal of Avian BiologyGlobal biodiversity loss is a major environmental concern. The wildlife on islands are particularly vulnerable to threats posed by alien predators, habitat loss and overexploitation.

Do greater sage‐grouse exhibit maladaptive habitat selection?
Ecosphere, 2021 Maladaptive habitat selection, where animals select habitat with reduced fitness potential or avoid otherwise suitable habitat, exacerbates the threat of population decline for species vulnerable from habitat loss and fragmentation.
