The south-western subspecies of the Crested Shrike-tit (Falcunculus frontatus leucogaster) is uncommon and declining in abundance. Moreover, populations fail to persist in even large remnants of native vegetation within agricultural areas. Reasons for the scarcity of Shrike-tits in south-western ...
Dogs left outside should still have adequate access to shelter and should be able to leave those conditions when they feel cold, Ashraf added. What temperatures can outdoor cats tolerate? Like dogs, the ability of outdoor cats to withstand the cold is dependent on several factors, such as...
However, unidirectional benefits could be widespread if extreme trait values confer advantages at one end of an environmental gradient, whereas a wide range of trait values are equally beneficial at the other end. Here, we show that root traits explain species occurrences along broad gradients of ...
To determine how the functional diversity of bee communities changed along our landscape gradient we used 32 species of the core set of the 36 most abundant bee species where d′ could be calculated. Based on the pollen foraging traits (average female size and d′ index) we calculated function...
What might have been harder to pick up on was the difference between houses that could have been quickly re-built by the handy DIYers that people living in such conditions have to become, and those that hadn’t been quickly built after the earthquake but that simply are people’s long ...

A simple way to derive the right-hand side of Eq. (8) is to consider Eq. (7) and the normalization conditions $$1={\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }\phi ({\Delta }_{x},{\Delta }_{y})d{\Delta }_{x}d{\Delta }_{y}={\int }_{0}^{\...
