Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Changes in utilization of canal crossing structures by desert mammal communities during the COVID‐19 lockdown

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We investigated desert mammals' utilization of canal wildlife crossing structures (WCSs) in Xinjiang, China, employing COVID‐19 lockdowns as a natural experiment to evaluate anthropogenic disturbance effects. Camera trap data for four focal species revealed shifts in encounter rates, activity patterns, and predator‐prey interactions across pandemic ...

Otolith‐based species identification in the killifish Aphaniops (Teleostei; Cyprinodontiformes; Aphaniidae) using both morphometry and wavelet analysis

open access: yesActa Zoologica, Volume 106, Issue 3, Page 291-308, July 2025.
Abstract The killifish genus Aphaniops consists of nine species distributed in Eastern Africa and the Middle East. However, distinguishing these species from each other based on morphological traits is challenging. Here we investigate the utility of otoliths (sagittae) in distinguishing between A. dispar, A. ginaonis, A. hormuzensis, A.

The spiral structure of the Galaxy revealed by CS sources and evidence for the 4:1 resonance

open access: yes, 2010
We present a map of the spiral structure of the Galaxy, as traced by molecular CS emission associated with IRAS sources which are believed to be compact HII regions.

Predicting the Activity Level of the Great Gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) via Machine Learning

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
The particle swarm optimization algorithm–extreme learning machine was utilized to develop the hazard model for the great gerbil. ABSTRACT The great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) is a pest rodent that is widely distributed in Eurasia, and assessing its outbreak risk and instituting timely population control are very important for protecting vegetation and ...

Chaetognath spatial distribution and how egg-carrying affects the vertical distribution of Sagitta tasmanica off southern Chile

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2009
Six chaetognath species were determined, all for the first time, in the inner waters between Reloncaví Fjord and Boca del Guafo, Chile. Sagitta tasmanica (85.3%) and Eukrohnia hamata (5.8%) were dominant.

Sagitta, Lenses, and Maximal Volume [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2015
We give a characterization of critical points that allows us to define a metric invariant on all Riemannian manifolds $M$ with a lower sectional curvature bound and an upper radius bound. We show there is a uniform upper volume bound for all such manifolds with an upper bound on this invariant.
