Increased Mortality Rates Caused by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus in a Migratory Raptor. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe utilized movement data to identify a continental‐scale mortality event caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) in a single species of migratory bird, the rough‐legged hawk (Buteo lagopus). We estimated an HPAIV cause‐specific annual mortality rate of 28% that substantially elevated the overall annual mortality rate (47%) above ...

Responsible Marine Wildlife Viewing [PDF]
, 2006 Marine wildlife viewing is good for Alaska's economy, and good for the participants' souls. But is it good for the animals? The answer is yes, if boaters and tide-poolers use care when near the animals.

Raptor packets: A packet-centric approach to distributed raptor code design [PDF]
2009 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory, 2009 In this paper, we address the problem of distributed Raptor code design over information packets located across the network nodes. We propose a novel approach to this problem that consists of generating, encoding and dispersing Raptor packets across the network.

A multi‐scale approach to integrating rewilding into agricultural landscapes
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Finding ways to improve the sustainability of modern agriculture by recovering nature in agricultural landscapes is critical for conserving biodiversity and enhancing human well‐being. Rewilding principles could be applied to any type of landscape, which raises the possibility of employing rewilding approaches in agricultural areas while maintaining ...

Evidence of Songbird Intoxication From Rozol Application at a Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Colony [PDF]
, 2013 Concerns about avian poisonings from anticoagulant rodenticides have traditionally focused on secondary poisoning of raptors exposed by feeding on contaminated mammalian prey.

Sight or smell: which senses do scavenging raptors use to find food?
Animal Cognition, 2018 Raptors are usually considered to be mainly visually dependent, and the use of other sensory modalities has rarely been studied in these birds. Here, we investigated experimentally which senses (vision and/or olfaction) Turkey vultures (Cathartes aura ...

Glia, EarlyView.Brain oligodendrocytes have lower rates of cholesterol synthesis and higher rates of lipoprotein uptake than spinal cord oligodendrocytes. Myelin lipid content is higher in CNS regions with larger average axon diameter. Brain and spinal cord myelin cholesterol content is innately different, while myelin fatty acid content can be modulated by fiber ...

Disentangling the effects of climate change in a mountain lake through community structure analysis
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Pressures of climate change may trigger regime shifts in ecosystems. Identifying signs of these pressures before the critical transition remains challenging, and it could be useful to anticipate the regime shift. In this research, while exploiting the case of a lacustrine ecosystem, which passed from an unvegetated, phytoplankton‐dominated ...
