Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

Enriching historical biologging datasets on seabirds using deep neural networks: A transformer‐based approach to infer energy expenditure proxy from GPS and environmental data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in biologging have led to the widespread use of accelerometers, which generate high‐resolution movement data essential for understanding animal behaviour. Derived from tri‐axial accelerometry, Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration (ODBA) serves as a proxy for energy expenditure that is less invasive and more cost‐effective than ...

Desenvolvimento e Avaliação de Um Sistema de Aquecimento de Óleo Vegetal para Um Grupo Gerador

Revista Engenharia na Agricultura - REVENG, 2009
A utilização de óleos vegetais na forma “in natura” pode ser viável, adotando-se algumas técnicas para melhorar a injeção do combustível. Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se um sistema de aquecimento que utilizou como fonte de calor os gases de escape. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos. No primeiro, o motor foi avaliado num dinamômetro.

Geometric Morphometrics Reveal Body Shape Variation in Freshwater Shrimps of the Genus Macrobrachium Lacking a Mandibular Palp (Formerly Pseudopalaemon Sollaud, 1911) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape variation in the cephalothorax of Macrobrachium species without mandibular palp using geometric morphometrics was used as a tool to support species differentiation and propose new diagnostic characters for taxonomic identification.

AVALIAÇÃO DE CONTAMINAÇÃO POR ECHERICHIA COLI DA LINHA VERDE DA LAGOA DO MEIO, LINHARES-ES

Revista UniVap, 2016
Atualmente os rios, lagos e lagoas, situados próximos às cidades estão recebendo altas cargas poluidoras. Devido estes fatores os eventos climáticos como chuvas e secas estão cada vez mais severos e as fontes hídricas saldáveis cada vez mais escassas ...

Tongue and Glottis Morphology of Cathartes aura and the Secret of Its Functional Adaptation

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cathartes aura, commonly known as the Turkey vulture, is a scavenger bird belonging to the family Cathartidae that is widely distributed throughout the Americas and classified as a New World vulture. Its diet primarily consists of small‐sized carcasses, predominantly of wild animals.

TreeON: Reconstructing 3D Tree Point Clouds from Orthophotos and Heightmaps

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present TreeON, a novel neural‐based framework for reconstructing detailed 3D tree point clouds from sparse top‐down geodata, using only a single orthophoto and its corresponding Digital Surface Model (DSM). Our method introduces a new training supervision strategy that combines both geometric supervision and a differentiable shadow and ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...
