1. In recent years many studies have investigated the relationships between different aspects of the immune system and ecology in various organisms. Yet, it remains unclear why individuals differ in their ability to mount an immune response against v...
During the summer melt period, ponds form on the surface of Arctic sea ice as it melts, with important consequences for ice evolution and marine ecology. Due to the ice-albedo feedback, these melt ponds experience uneven heat absorption, and exhibit...
So what is a naturalist? A naturalist is someone who studies the patterns of nature. Naturalists seek to observe the interconnected relationships between plants, birds, trees & ecology so we can …
Ticks are important vectors of emerging zoonotic diseases. While adults of many tick species parasitize mammals, immature ticks are often found on wild birds. In the tropics, difficulties in species-level identification of immature ticks hinder studi...
Jainism offers a worldview that in many ways seems readily compatible with core values associated with environmental activism. While both uphold the protection of life, the underlying motives governing the …
In ecology it has become common to apply DNA barcoding to biological samples leading to datasets containing a large number of nucleotide sequences. The focus is then on inferring the taxonomic placement of each of these sequences by leveraging on exi...
Spatial point processes are used as models in many different fields ranging from ecology and forestry to cosmology and materials science. In recent years, model validation, and in particular goodness-of-fit testing of a proposed point process model h...
This paper describes a qualitative study of retirees' social and personal practices via digital music technologies in the context of community music. We conducted a diary study, and interviewed retired community musicians who are experiencing transit...
In ecological research, accurately collecting spatiotemporal position data is a fundamental task for understanding the behavior and ecology of insects and other organisms. In recent years, advancements in computer vision techniques have reached a sta...
Land use / land cover (LULC) modeling is a challenging task due to long-range dependencies between geographic features and distinct spatial patterns related to topography, ecology, and human development. We identify a close connection between modelin...
In population ecology and economics, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is theoretically, the largest yield (or catch) that can be taken from a species'
Cheating is an immoral way of achieving a goal. Cheating or Cheatin' may also refer to: Cheating (biology), a metaphor used in behavioral ecology to describe

In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition. It describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution
Melanie Ann Stansbury (born January 31, 1979) is an American politician and former ecology instructor serving as the U.S. representative for New Mexico's
Resolving the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been one of the central goals of modern ecology. Early debates about the relationship were finally resolved with the advent of a statistical partitioning scheme that decomp...
