Feeding and vertical migration of the chaetognath Sagitta friderici (Ritter Zahony, 1911) in the southern Benguela during spring 1987, with notes on seasonal variability of feeding ecology [PDF]
, 1994 The feeding biology and the vertical migration of Sagitta friderici were examined over 24 h at two stations in the southern Benguela during spring (October) 1987.

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Biotropica, 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).

Frontiers in Marine ScienceOtoliths are calcified structures present in the inner ear of fish involved in hearing and balance. Notwithstanding that their shape is species-specific, which is helpful for taxonomic identification, the intraspecific variability of shape and structures

Scientia Marina, 2020 The otolith digital catalogue AFORO allows unknown otoliths to be classified automatically by using a comparison with its classified records. To do this, the otolith’s contour, which is extracted from an image, is used.

Ecological 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 ...

Sagitta, Lenses, and Maximal Volume [PDF]
The 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.

Acta 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.

Accurate Transfer Maps for Realistic Beamline Elements: Part I, Straight Elements
, 2010 The behavior of orbits in charged-particle beam transport systems, including both linear and circular accelerators as well as final focus sections and spectrometers, can depend sensitively on nonlinear fringe-field and high-order-multipole effects in the
