An open‐source program for the calculation and visualization of polarization‐derived properties of crystalline material is described, alongside the integration of a polarizing image sensor into a home‐built high‐throughput imaging setup.The long‐range internal order of crystals enables them to exhibit a well known and long‐exploited phenomenon ...

Characterisation of North American Brucella isolates from marine mammals.
Extension of known ecological niches of Brucella has included the description of two novel species from marine mammals. Brucella pinnipedialis is associated predominantly with seals, while two major Brucella ceti clades, most commonly associated with ...

Masticatory performance is a functional measure of oral physiology that may affect food breakdown and/or eating behavior. Existing methods are labor intensive or require proprietary software; here we describe a new open‐source package, chewR, to measure masticatory performance.

Pore‐size‐controlled nanoconfinement of rubrene within UiO‐66 and UiO‐67 suppresses aggregation‐caused quenching and restores bright solid‐state emission. Geometric exclusion and energetic destabilization prevent parallel stacking, yielding solution‐like absorption and fluorescence quantum yields up to 25%.

Barents Sea polar bears (Ursus maritimus): population biology and anthropogenic threats
This paper examines how anthropogenic threats, such as disturbance, pollution and climate change, are linked to polar bear (Ursus maritimus) population biology in the Svalbard and Barents Sea area, with the aim to increase our understanding of how human ...

Space‐use strategies drive diet composition of Baffin Bay polar bears
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) depend on sea ice to hunt their ice‐associated prey. However, climate‐induced sea ice loss is leading to changes in space‐use strategies of polar bears, with bears in some subpopulations spending more time on land or ...

Haul-out behaviour, site fidelity and vigilance of common seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) in the tees Estuary [PDF]
The project was carried out from the beginning of May to the beginning of July 1994, at Seal Sands, in the Tees estuary. The study aimed to examine (i) ecological and (ii) behavioural aspects of two species of seals, common seals (Phoca vitulina) and ...

Images as proximity sensors : the incidence of conspecific foraging in Antarctic fur seals [PDF]
Background: Although there have been recent advances in the development of animal-attached ‘proximity’ tags to remotely record the interactions of multiple individuals, the efficacy of these devices depends on the instrumentation of sufficient animals ...
