Breeding of black-winged stilt Himantopus himantopus in muddy sites of a wastewater treatment plant
A stable group of birds has been formed at water treatment facilities. Sewage treatment sites are a well-known nesting place for long-legged waders. Black-winged stilts are included in the Bonn (Appendix II) and Berne (Appendix II) conventions, the AEWA ...

Nested information processing in the living world
AbstractLiving organisms create, copy, and make use of information, the content depending on the level of organization. In cells, a network of signal chain proteins regulates gene expression and other cell functions. Incoming information is encoded through signal reception, processed by the network, and decoded by the synthesis of new gene products and

Exploring the potential for cross-nesting structures in airport-choice analysis: A case-study of the Greater London area [PDF]
The analysis of air-passengers’ choices of departure airport in multi-airport regions is a crucial component of transportation planning in many large metropolitan areas, and has been the topic of an increasing number of studies over recent years. In this

Increased complexity of worker CHC profiles in Apis dorsata correlates with nesting ecology.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) are known to serve as discrimination cues and will trigger defence behaviour in a plethora of eusocial insects. However, little is known how about nestmate recognition ability selects for CHC diversification. In this study we

Statistics of Merging Peaks of Random Gaussian Fluctuations: Skeleton Tree Formalism [PDF]
In order to study the statistics of the objects with hierarchical merging, we propose the skeleton tree formalism, which can analytically distinguish the episodic merging and the continuous accretion in the mass growth processes.
