Torque Teno Sus Virus 1: A Potential Surrogate Pathogen to Study Pig-Transmitted Transboundary Animal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
Understanding the epidemiology and transmission dynamics of transboundary animal diseases (TADs) among wild pigs (Sus scrofa) will aid in preventing the introduction or containment of TADs among wild populations.

Habitat quality influences trade-offs in animal movement along the exploration–exploitation continuum

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
To successfully establish itself in a novel environment, an animal must make an inherent trade-off between knowledge accumulation and exploitation of knowledge gained (i.e., the exploration–exploitation dilemma).

DNA metabarcoding reveals consumption of diverse community of amphibians by invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) in the southeastern United States

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are one of the most widespread, destructive vertebrate species globally. Their success can largely be attributed to their generalist diets, which are dominated by plant material but also include diverse animal taxa.

Moth Diversity Increases along a Continent-Wide Gradient of Environmental Productivity in South African Savannahs

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Environmental productivity, i.e., the amount of biomass produced by primary producers, belongs among the key factors for the biodiversity patterns. Although the relationship of diversity to environmental productivity differs among studied taxa, detailed ...

Responses of turkey vultures to unmanned aircraft systems vary by platform

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
A challenge that conservation practitioners face is manipulating behavior of nuisance species. The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) can cause substantial damage to aircraft if struck.

Simulation study of tritium atmospheric dispersion of loss of vacuum accident of a fusion reactor

open access: yesHe jishu, 2023
BackgroundTritium can be released into the environment in a loss of vacuum (LOVA) scenario in a fusion reactor. The simulation of the atmospheric dispersion behaviour of tritium is one of the core components of the assessment of the radioactive ...

Deriving spatially explicit direct and indirect interaction networks from animal movement data

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Quantifying spatiotemporally explicit interactions within animal populations facilitates the understanding of social structure and its relationship with ecological processes. Data from animal tracking technologies (Global Positioning Systems [“GPS”]) can
