Cree knowledge, fuzzy cognitive maps, and the social-ecology of moose habitat quality under an adapted forestry regime

Ecology and Society
Participatory modeling and fuzzy cognitive mapping of social-ecological systems offers a more comprehensive understanding of complex systems inclusive of multiple perspectives and diverse types of knowledge.

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.

Modeling Marbled Murrelet nesting habitat: a quantitative approach using airborne laser scanning data in British Columbia, Canada

Avian Conservation and Ecology
The Marbled Murrelet ( Brachyramphus marmoratus ) is a tree-nesting seabird found along the Pacific coast of North America whose forest nesting habitat has dramatically declined over the last century.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Monitoring mangrove-based blue carbon ecosystems using UAVs: a review

Geocarto International
Blue carbon habitats, including mangrove forests, salt marshes, and seagrass beds, play a crucial role in sequestering organic carbon, mitigating global warming, and protecting coastlines and local livelihoods.

Improvement of Seagrass Habitat Mapping Using Integration of Habitat Suitability Model and Seafloor Classification Map

Asian Fisheries Science
Acoustic datasets offer considerable advantages in high-resolution seagrass habitat mapping applications. However, the nature of seafloor features for seagrass habitat on a habitat suitability model (HSM) is limited due to single–species output.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Ground-Independent UAV Quantitative Mapping and In Situ Experimental Validation for Coral Reef Habitats

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Optically shallow waters, which host ecosystems like coral reefs, are characterized by complex radiative transfer pathways. Surface reflectance derived from remote sensing in optically shallow waters is influenced by water depth, water quality, and ...
