Seabird population responses after the removal of an introduced predator

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the response of a breeding population of seabirds (pigeon guillemots) to the removal of an introduced population of predators (American mink) from an archipelago that was formerly the largest aggregation of nesting guillemots in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

A novel approach for in situ benthic habitat characterization

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of temporal and spatial variability of subtidal marine benthic biodiversity. However, this makes it a challenging environment in which to measure and quantify the factors driving biodiversity in a consistent manner.

Modeling n‐Butyl Acrylate Polymerization using Complementary Modeling Techniques

Macromolecular Reaction Engineering, EarlyView.
Two different simulation methods are used for the radical polymerization of nBA: deterministic in Predici and stochastic with mcPolymer. It has been successfully implemented across a wide temperature range. It turns out that the partially different implementation of chain‐length‐dependent termination and β‐scission are important for obtaining ...

From Resilience to “Susilience”: Toward Further Theoretical Perspectives in Sustainable Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing exposure of global supply chains to environmental, social, and operational disruptions has intensified scholarly interest in sustainability and resilience. While these concepts are widely discussed, existing research often addresses them separately, preventing understanding of their combined role in supply chain management.

Differentially expressed genes for aggressive pecking behaviour in laying hens

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Aggressive behaviour is an important aspect in the daily lives of animals living in groups. Aggressive animals have advantages, such as better access to food or territories, and they produce more offspring than low ranking animals.
