Deer reduce habitat quality for a woodland songbird: evidence from settlement patterns, demographic parameters, and body condition. [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding avian responses to ungulate-induced habitat modification is important because deer populations are increasing across much of temperate Europe and North America.

Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Prevalence of chromosome anomalies in a deer farm with fertility decline in Malaysia

Future Science OA, 2020
Background: A number of factors are known to reduce fertility rate in animals and one of the important categories of such factors is chromosome anomalies. They can occur with or without causing phenotypic abnormalities on animals; in some cases, they may

Do red deer hinds prefer stags that produce harsh roars in mate choice contexts? [PDF]

, 2014
Red deer stags give two types of roars during the breeding season, termed ‘common’ and ‘harsh’ roars. This study tested the hypothesis that the characteristic spectro-temporal structure of male harsh roars functions to directly attract females towards ...

Hot spots or hot moments? Contextualizing the spatio‐temporal scale of research on animal inputs

Ecography, EarlyView.
Mammals play important roles in redistributing elements across ecosystems, concentrating biogeochemical inputs across both space and time. However, research on zoogeochemical inputs is often constrained by logistical considerations, potentially limiting our knowledge of mammals' impacts on biogeochemical patterns and processes.

Unified field—the universal blueprint?

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2000
The current status of the studies of the origin of the fundamental particles and the universe is presented. These studies indicate the unified field to be the source of both the fundamental particles and the universe itself.

Comparative Assessment and Benchmarking of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Photovoltaic Array Reconfiguration Under Diverse Shading Environments

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...
