Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Tracking with GPS and accelerometers shows that great evening bats in subtropical China use two overwintering strategies: some remain in continuous hibernation, while others switch between torpor and activity as temperatures change. This behavioral flexibility, shaped by climate, underscores the importance of protecting diverse roosting habitats for ...

The European Zoological JournalClimate change is impacting on wildlife. Animals that hibernate, such as bats (Chiroptera), are particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of shortened winters, reduced snow cover, weather anomalies and increased underground temperatures. To measure

Comparing the performance of object and object relational database systems on objects of varying complexity [PDF]
, 2012 This is the first published work to compare the performance of object and object relational database systems based on the object's complexity. The findings of this research show that the performance of object and object relational database systems are ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.

Exposing the myth: object-relational impedance mismatch is a wicked problem [PDF]
, 2015 Addressing a problem of software integration is a fact of life for those involved in software development. The popularity of both object and relational technologies means that they will inevitably be used together.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We apply a new parameterized model through linking metabolic scaling and the maximum entropy theory of ecology to quantify the intraspecific metabolic scaling exponent of brown trout populations and assess the main drivers shaping the exponent. Abstract Metabolic scaling fundamentally sets the pace of life in almost all organisms.

Performance Evaluation of Java Based Object Relational Mapping Tools [PDF]
Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2013 Object persistency is the hot issue in the form of ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tools in industry as developers use these tools during software development. This paper presents the performance evaluation of Java based ORM tools.

Latitudinal Variation in Seasonal Activity and Mortality in Ratsnakes (Elaphe obsoleta)
, 2010 The ecology of ectotherms should be particularly affected by latitude because so much of their biology is temperature dependent. Current latitudinal patterns should also be informative about how ectotherms will have to modify their behavior in response ...
