Gut microbiota of migrating wild rabbit fish (Siganus guttatus) larvae have low spatial and temporal variability [PDF]
We investigated the gut microbiota of rabbit fish larvae at three locations in Vietnam (ThuanAn-northern, QuangNam-intermediate, BinhDinh-southern sampling site) over a three-year period. In the wild, the first food for rabbit fish larvae remains unknown,

Which environmental factors most strongly influence a street's appeal for bicycle transport among adults? : a conjoint study using manipulated photographs [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Micro-environmental factors (specific features within a streetscape), instead of macro-environmental factors (urban planning features), are more feasible to modify in existing neighborhoods and thus more practical to target for environmental ...

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]
1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$, an even kernel is a nonempty independent subset $V' \subseteq V$, such that every vertex of $G$ is adjacent to an even number (possibly 0) of vertices in $V'$. It is proved that the question of whether a graph has an even kernel is NP-complete. The motivation stems from combinatorial game theory.

Behavioral Phenomena and Population Estimation of White-Tailed Deer Based on Camera Trap Data [PDF]
When shaping management actions and conservation programs, it is essential to understand the population dynamics of a species. One species that sees extensive management and research effort is the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), as it is both
