Effects of a snowstorm event on the interactions between plants and hummingbirds: fast recovery of spatio-temporal patterns Efecto de una tormenta de nieve sobre la interacción colibrí-planta: los patrones espacio-temporales se recobran rápido

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
The global climatic change could cause, in some places, appearance of meteorological phenomena considered rare. If we understand the effect of these phenomena on birds we can understand how birds respond to weather changes. We report here the effect of a

Cryptanalysis of Hummingbird-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Hummingbird-1 is a lightweight encryption and message authentication primitive published in RISC '09 and WLC '10. Hummingbird-1 utilizes a 256-bit secret key and a 64-bit IV. We report a chosen-IV, chosen-message attack that can recover the full secret key with a few million chosen messages processed under two related IVs.
