Availability bias and responsive movement during ground‐based wildlife surveys revealed by concurrent thermal drone surveys

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Methods to estimate abundance from unmarked populations of animals are widely used because of their efficiency and presumed accuracy. These methods account for imperfect detection by comparing observed data against the assumed distribution of the entire population.

Endosymbiont-derived metabolites are essential for tick host reproductive fitness

mSphere
Ticks, like other obligatory blood-feeding arthropods, rely on endosymbiotic bacteria to supplement their diet with B vitamins lacking in blood. It has been suggested that additional metabolites such as L-proline may be involved in this nutritional ...
