Similarity learning networks uniquely identify individuals of four marine and terrestrial species
Abstract Estimating the size of animal populations plays an important role in evidence‐based conservation and management. Some methods for estimating population size rely on animals being individually identifiable. Traditionally, this has been done by marking physically captured animals, but increasingly, animals with distinctive natural markings are ...

Abstracts of Papers Presented at the 2005 Pittsburgh Conference
To attend or not to attend, that is the question. The Pittsburgh Conference continues to pose this conundrum to conferees and exhibitors alike. This year′s conference was the first to be presented without a set of paper abstracts—a good thing some would say but this old codger always used the paper abstracts to select papers of interest to our ...

Central nervous system disease and genital disease in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are associated with different herpesviruses [PDF]
Herpesvirus infection causes disease of variable severity in many species, including cetaceans. However, little is known about herpesvirus infection in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), despite being widespread in temperate coastal waters of the ...

Male‐biased stone tool use by wild white‐faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator)
Map of study site showing the islands of Coiba and Jicarón in Coiba National Park, Panama. On Coiba, both sexes of adult white‐faced capuchins use stone tools, while on Jicarón only males have been observed to use tools. Abstract Tool‐using primates often show sex differences in both the frequency and efficiency of tool use.

Molecular Cloning of Bottle-Nosed Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) MHC Class I cDNA.
Using polymerase chain reaction, bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) major histocompatibility complex (DoLA) class I alpha chain cDNA was cloned and sequenced. Predicted amino acid sequences of DoLA class I alpha chain have cystein residues for intradomain disulfide bond formation and N-linked glycosylation sites, suggesting that DoLA class I ...

ABSTRACT Three hundred forty‐one radiocarbon dates from the Groningen radiocarbon database are compiled in this study. They show for the first time that organic sediment samples from the eastern Netherlands and mammal bones from Doggerland reflect shifts in the presence and the density of vegetation (food for herbivores) and mammal biomass during the ...
