Network overload avoidance by traffic engineering and content caching [PDF]

, 2012
The Internet traffic volume continues to grow at a great rate, now driven by video and TV distribution. For network operators it is important to avoid congestion in the network, and to meet service level agreements with their customers.

Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...

Baseline Cortisol and Behavioral Phenotype Are Linked to Context‐Dependent Spatial Cognition and Space Use in Giant Pandas

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Baseline cortisol and repeatable behavioral phenotypes were associated with context‐dependent spatial cognition in giant pandas. Individuals differed in spatial search performance under stable and changing resource conditions. Exploratory GPS analyses revealed directionally consistent but non‐significant patterns of space use in novel environments ...

A Wildlife Multi‐Modal Recognition Method Based on Infrared Camera Images Using MWAC

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A multimodal wild wildlife classification model MWAC consists of two parts:(1) Wavelet KAN module (WDS‐KAN) for image feature extraction, and (2) Label Correlated Text Extraction module (LC‐BERT) for text feature extraction. ABSTRACT Nowadays, infrared camera technology has become an important tool for large‐scale monitoring and assessment of wildlife ...

Reproductive Biology, Mating System, and Extended Natal Association in the Echolocating Dalou Mountains Tree Mouse (Typhlomys daloushanensis): Insights Into Sensory Adaptation and Life‐History Strategy

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Typhlomys daloushanensis, a poorly known and unique echolocating rodent. Using a captive breeding colony, we quantify key reproductive parameters, including gestation length, litter size, interbirth interval, and development to maturity, and evaluate these in relation to mating system structure.

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

UNIQAT: An open‐source toolkit for reproducible image quality assessment in marine surveys

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Modern marine surveys generate tens of thousands of underwater images per expedition, yet many are unusable due to image quality deterioration. Manual quality screening is labour‐intensive, subjective and inconsistent across observers and teams, hindering reproducible science, creating large backlogs of unprocessed imagery, and limiting real ...
