Observation Bias in Metabarcoding
Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing from actual species proportions in the DNA extract. Here, we amplify and sequence a mock community of known composition containing marine fishes and cetaceans using four different primer sets and a ...

The Parallel Architecture in Language and Elsewhere
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract The Parallel Architecture is a conception of the organization of the mental representations involved in language and of the role of language in the mind as a whole. Its basic premise is that linguistic representations draw on three independent generative systems—phonological, syntactic, and semantic structures—plus a system of interface links ...

Acoustic behavior of melon-headed whales varies on a diel cycle. [PDF]
, 2015 Many terrestrial and marine species have a diel activity pattern, and their acoustic signaling follows their current behavioral state. Whistles and echolocation clicks on long-term recordings produced by melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) at ...

Independent Avian Epigenetic Clocks for Ageing and Development
Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Information on individual age is a fundamental aspect in many ecological and evolutionary studies. However, accurate and non‐lethal methods that can be applied to estimate the age of wild animals are often absent. Furthermore, since the process of ageing is accompanied by a physical decline and the deterioration of biological functions, the ...

Le Journal de Physique IV, 1992 Latest achievments in understanding of mechanisms underlying dolphin echolocation are discussed. Main attention is drawn to dolphin detection and recognition in different acoustic conditions. Adaptation of echolocation signal parameters to changing ambient noise and reverberation are also considered.

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The astonishing biological diversity found in Californian kelp forests requires efficient and robust monitoring tools to better understand ecological trends and mitigate against loss or disruption of ecosystem services due to human pressure and climate changes.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...
