Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Curve Smoothing Using Splines

Irish Mathematical Society Bulletin, 1985
This brief review of curve smoothing by means of splines reports no new theoretical results. The following two papers are recommended to get more information: \textit{E. J. Wegman} and \textit{I. W. Wright}, J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 78, 351-365 (1983; Zbl 0534.62017), and the paper of \textit{R. L. Eubank}, see the foregoing review, Zbl 0569.62052.

Joint and Independent Associations of Dietary Antioxidant Intakes With Advanced Stages in Older Patients With Cardiovascular‐Kidney‐Metabolic Syndrome

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and cardiovascular‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) progression in an older population. Using data from NHANES 2001–2020, we analyzed 4974 adults aged ≥ 60 years with CKM syndrome. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six dietary antioxidants.

Similar dynamic tibiofemoral movements during jump‐landing and walking but distinct hamstrings strength across ACL reconstruction autograft types at mid‐term follow‐up

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Dynamic tibiofemoral movements following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts have not yet been compared to other autografts. We aimed to compare dynamic anterior tibial translation (ATTd) and internal tibial rotation (ITRd) during jump‐landing and walking among patients with QT, bone ...

A highly accurate numerical method for solving boundary value problem of generalized Bagley‐Torvik equation

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
A highly accurate numerical method is given for the solution of boundary value problem of generalized Bagley‐Torvik (BgT) equation with Caputo derivative of order 0<β<2$$ 0<\beta <2 $$ by using the collocation‐shooting method (C‐SM). The collocation solution is constructed in the space Sm+1(1)$$ {S}_{m+1}^{(1)} $$ as piecewise polynomials of degree at ...

Mesoscale Whole‐Brain T2*‐Weighted and Associated Quantitative MRI in Humans at 10.5 T

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To demonstrate mesoscale whole‐brain T2*‐weighted (T2*w) MRI at 10.5 T, quantify R2* relaxation rate and magnetic susceptibility (χ), and evaluate T2*w contrast at such high field strength. Methods Multi‐echo GRE (ME‐GRE) data were collected in healthy adults at 0.5 mm isotropic resolution at 10.5 T.

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular
