Selfish or altruistic? An analysis of alarm call function in wild capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella nigritus [PDF]
, 2008 Alarm calls facilitate some antipredatory benefits of group living but may endanger the caller by attracting the predator's attention. A number of hypotheses invoking kin selection and individual selection have been proposed to explain how such behaviour

Automatic tuning of Free Electron Lasers [PDF]
, 2017 Existing FEL facilities often suffer from stability issues: so electron orbit, transverse electron optics, electron bunch compression and other parameters have to be readjusted often to account for drifts in performance of various components.

Nocturnal activity by the primarily diurnal Central American agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) in relation to environmental conditions, resource abundance and predation risk [PDF]
, 2009 An animal's fitness is in part based on its ability to manage the inherent risks (foraging costs, predation, exposure to disease) with the benefits (resource gain, access to mates, social interactions) of activity (Abrams 1991, Altizer et al. 2003, Lima &

Climate envelope modeling for ocelot conservation planning: peering inside the black box
Ecosphere, 2023 Climate envelope models have been used to evaluate the predicted impacts of climate change on species of concern and can be a useful planning tool in determining the long‐term suitability of current habitat and potential introduction sites.
