Ant Diversity and Stratification in an Amazonian Rainforest
We examined the three strata of an Amazonian rainforest (e.g., the ground and leaf litter, understory and canopy) using only two sampling techniques and analyzed their functional traits. We identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera over ≈3.0 ha, showing that they are species rich and abundant, particularly at ground level.

We assessed the acceptability and consumption of a custom‐developed nicarbazin bait for feral pigeons, inferred its contraceptive efficacy, and evaluated the reversibility of its effects upon cessation of treatment. Only feral pigeons consumed the bait, except for one eared dove that also ingested the food. Continuous administration of this bait raised

Prospects and perils in the geospatial turn of conservation
Abstract Conservation has embraced advances in big data and related digital technologies as key to preventing biodiversity loss, especially in the identification of areas of conservation priority based on spatial data, which we call the big geospatial data turn.

Do Island Spiders Descend From Trees? – A Tale of Island Colonisation and Niche Expansion
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands are known for being home to drastically different communities compared to the mainland, as their isolation and limited area significantly favour clades able to travel long distances over water. On spiders, this happens mainly, although not exclusively, through ballooning whose propensity is unevenly distributed across ...

Algorithm Delegation: How Embedded AI Facilitates Agency Transference in Medical Services
ABSTRACT Integrating insights from psychological distance and human‐AI agency theories, this study explores embedded AI — algorithms physically integrated into tangible devices as a novel mechanism to help overcome resistance towards medical AI. Across four studies, including a large text‐mining (n = 224,433 reviews) and three controlled experiments (n

Abstract Indigenous Peoples rely on biodiversity and traditional knowledge for health and well‐being, yet biological and cultural systems are threatened by ecological and social changes. Limited understanding exists on the factors that support the resilience of Indigenous Peoples' healthcare systems—the capacity of a healthcare system to adapt to ...

Quasi‐Constant Time Gap in Multiple Rings of Elves
Abstract We present evidence that the time delay between the multiple rings of elves is not caused by the ground reflection of the electromagnetic pulse produced by intracloud lightning. To investigate temporal differences of multi‐elves, we analyzed data from four storms occurring at various times and distances from the Pierre Auger Observatory in ...
