Density estimation of sound-producing terrestrial animals using single automatic acoustic recorders and distance sampling

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2018
Obtaining accurate information on the distribution, density, and abundance of animals is an important first step toward their conservation. Methodological approaches using automatic acoustic recorders for species that communicate acoustically are gaining

Modeling adaptation of carbon use efficiency in microbial communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
In new microbial-biogeochemical models, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is often assumed to decline with increasing temperature. Under this assumption, soil carbon losses under warming are small because microbial biomass declines. Yet there is also

On influences of global and local cues on the rate of synchronization of oscillator networks [PDF]

open access: yesAutomatica, 2011
Synchronization of connected oscillator networks under global and local cues is ubiquitous in both science and engineering. Over the last few decades, enormous attention has been paid to study synchronization conditions of connected oscillators in chemistry, physics, mechanics, and particularly in biology.

Heavy drinking relates to positive valence ratings of alcohol cues [PDF]

open access: yesAddiction Biology, 2008
ABSTRACTA positive family history of alcohol use disorders (FH) is a robust predictor of personal alcohol abuse and dependence. Exposure to problem‐drinking models is one mechanism through which family history influences alcohol‐related cognitions and drinking patterns.

Carbon Use Efficiency and Its Temperature Sensitivity Covary in Soil Bacteria

open access: yesmBio, 2020
The strategy that microbial decomposers take with respect to using substrate for growth versus maintenance is one essential biological determinant of the propensity of carbon to remain in soil.

Twelve years of fin whale song evolution in the central North Pacific

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Fin whale song consists of low frequency notes arranged in regular, repeating patterns of note type pairings and inter-note intervals (INIs). In the central North Pacific, fin whales use two downswept note types (A and B notes) with both singlet and ...

A decade of change and stability for fin whale song in the North Atlantic

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Fin whale song is a ubiquitous low-frequency pulsing that has been recorded in every ocean basin. In recent years, the complexity of fin whale song has been realized.
