Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We staged dyadic interaction trials between two kangaroo rat species threatened by habitat loss to test whether one species dominates in direct interactions in the field. We found that Stephens’ kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi) residents and intruders were dominant over Dulzura kangaroo rat (Dipodomys simulans). These results suggest that D. simulans

Turning and side motion of snake-like robot
, 2004 With high adaptability to environments snake-like robots offer a variety of advantages over other mobile robots. Such a robot with passive wheels has quite different mechanism in locomotion from that of other locomotion systems. We have developed a snake-

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Accuracy of wildlife observations identified by citizen scientists in Florida
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Citizen scientists varied widely in their ability to identify wildlife, with bird identifications substantially more accurate than those of snakes, mustelids, and panthers. Despite frequent misidentifications, public observations generated more confirmed records than professional biologists, demonstrating the value of their involvement. Quality‐control

Integration of Micro‐CT and XRF Mapping for Multimodal 3D Analysis of Polychrome Wooden Artifacts
X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past 5 years, computer applications have become crucial to archeological research. Since the 1990s, the focus has transitioned from data management tools to the development of virtual models. Recently, digital documentation of cultural heritage has gained considerable focus, with 3D modeling of objects.
