Use of Occupancy Models to Evaluate Expert Knowledge-based Species-Habitat Relationships

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2012
Expert knowledge-based species-habitat relationships are used extensively to guide conservation planning, particularly when data are scarce. Purported relationships describe the initial state of knowledge, but are rarely tested.

Overseas seed dispersal by migratory birds [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Long-distance dispersal (LDD) promotes the colonization of isolated and remote habitats, and thus it has been proposed as a mechanism for explaining the distributions of many species. Birds are key LDD vectors for many sessile organisms such as plants, yet LDD beyond local and regional scales has never been directly observed nor quantified. By sampling

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...

An Extended VIIRS-like Artificial Nighttime Light Data Reconstruction (1986–2024)

Scientific Data
Artificial Night-Time Light (NTL) remote sensing is a vital proxy for quantifying the intensity and spatial distribution of human activities. Although the NPP-VIIRS sensor provides high-quality NTL observations, its temporal coverage, which begins in ...

Grippes aviaires en Afrique. Cibler la vigilance [PDF]

, 2011
En 2006, la détection du virus de l'influenza (grippe) aviaire H5N1 en Afrique suscite une grande inquiétude : le virus pourrait se propager à l'ensemble du continent, puis être réintroduit en Europe par les oiseaux migrateurs.

Bioinspired Hierarchical Architecture with Water Transport Channels for Strong Adhesion at the Sweating Interface

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address adhesion failure in sweaty epidermal electronics, this study proposes a cross‐species, multi‐scale biomimetic interface. By modeling staged wet adhesion, it integrates self‐regulating liquid bridges with directional drainage. This design ensures stable, high‐performance flexible sensing in complex physiological environments, offering a ...
