Microhabitat selection by cave salamander (Eurycea lucifuga) as it relates to relative humidity and temperature [PDF]

, 2008
only availableDepending upon external conditions the twilight region of a cave can vary in temperature and humidity over time. Abundance of cave salamanders was observed to see if they selected for a more suitable microhabitat depending upon these ...

Embedding-based alignment: combining protein language models and alignment approaches to detect structural similarities in the twilight-zone

bioRxiv, 2022
Language models are now routinely used for text classification and generative tasks. Recently, the same architectures were applied to protein sequences, unlocking powerful tools in the bioinformatics field.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Modular prediction of protein structural classes from sequences of twilight-zone identity with predicting sequences

BMC Bioinformatics, 2009
Background Knowledge of structural class is used by numerous methods for identification of structural/functional characteristics of proteins and could be used for the detection of remote homologues, particularly for chains that share twilight-zone ...

The Art of Reception: Field Visits as Microcosms for Development Interventions of Non‐Governmental Organisations in Uganda

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

The twilight zone in the parametric evolution of eigenstates: beyond perturbation theory and semiclassics

, 2005
Considering a quantized chaotic system, we analyze the evolution of its eigenstates as a result of varying a control parameter. As the induced perturbation becomes larger, there is a crossover from a perturbative to a non-perturbative regime, which is ...

A amostragem estratificada aprimora a compreensão das redes entre morcegos e frutos na Mata Atlântica meridional

Oikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Development of low-cost multi-wavelength imager system for studies of aurora and airglow [PDF]

, 2020
This paper introduces a new system that can monitor aurora and atmospheric airglow using a low-cost Watec monochromatic imager (WMI) equipped with a sensitive camera, a filter with high transmittance, and the non-telecentric optics.

The ocean twilight zone’s role in climate change

, 2022
The ocean twilight zone (more formally known as the mesopelagic zone) plays a fundamental role in global climate. It is the mid-ocean region roughly 100 to 1000 meters below the surface, encompassing a half-mile deep belt of water that spans more than ...

In the twilight zone: patterns in Common Nighthawk (Chordeiles minor) acoustic signals during the breeding season and recommendations for surveys

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
. Surveys optimized to coincide with peak detectability of target species are critical to the success of monitoring programs, especially those targeting species of conservation concern. Established species-specific survey protocols are often inconsistent
