Zoologia (Curitiba), 2012 We studied the trophic ecology and microhabitat use of the Asiatic toad, Bufo gargarizans Cantor, 1842; Guentheri frog, Rana guentheri (Boulenger, 1882); and the Ricefield frog, Rana limnocharis (Boie, 1834).

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The last five years of research on sustainability labelling, reported in 175 journal articles, documents its effectiveness in increasing consumer choices of more sustainable food products. Some sustainability labels come out as stronger than others and their impact varies across products, countries, and individual consumers, depending on label

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot message tone, fashion product recommendation type, and personalization level interact to shape consumers' continuance intention in online fashion shopping. Building on Construal Level Theory and the Stereotype Content Model, we treat warmth and competence cues as psychological ...

Nonlinear permuted Granger causality
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Granger causality is an established, contentious method that seeks causal temporal connections via association and precedence. While not true causal inference, it assists in mapping networks of information flow that may warrant further study.

The SIR Model in a Moving Population: Propagation of Infection and Herd Immunity
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on Zd$\mathbb {Z}^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate ν$\nu$.

A New Time-Based Algorithm for Positioning Mobile Terminals in Wireless Networks
EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2008 This paper presents a positioning algorithm, named time of arrival to time difference of arrival (TOAD), which computes time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements from the messages that time-of-arrival (TOA) stations in sight exchange while their ...
