Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We examined changes in perceived risks associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and perceived trust in wildlife agencies over time across 10 studies in eight states. Results indicated that perceived risks to both deer and humans declined the longer the disease had been in a state. Results also indicated that agency trust evaluations were positive,

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

Susceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. Human susceptibility to CWD remains unproven despite likely exposure to CWD-infected cervids.

Coarse Woody Debris Increases Microbial Community Functional Diversity but not Enzyme Activities in Reclaimed Oil Sands Soils. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Forest floor mineral soil mix (FMM) and peat mineral soil mix (PMM) are cover soils commonly used for upland reclamation post open-pit oil sands mining in northern Alberta, Canada.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.One important aspect of daily hair grooming routines is whether, after combing, conspicuous numbers of broken hairs are observed. Machine‐based cyclic combing of hair tresses serves as a good indicator for early hair breakage and as a suitable measure to determine the effect of an ingredient/product/process on hair ‘strength’.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

Interval identification of natural effects in the presence of outcome‐related unmeasured confounding
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract With reference to a binary outcome and a binary mediator, we derive identification bounds for natural effects under a reduced set of assumptions. Specifically, no assumptions about confounding are made that involve the outcome; we only assume no unobserved exposure‐mediator confounding as well as a pair of conditions termed Partially Constant ...

Journal of Forest Science, 2010 Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important structural and functional component in forests in Northern Iran. In this study we determine the temporal patterns of CWD in Kheyroud Forests by examining the CWD volume in different decay classes and size classes
