23,24,25 Paradoxically, one factor frequently ignored is the temporal dimension of LULC change. This presents two potential issues. First, the start and end stages of LULC change are not necessarily characteristic of the transition process associated with the system shift. This was aptly described...
Aaaah the armadillo, an animal many in the southern United States associate with road kill. But there are 20 species of armadillos in the world, each one neat in their own respects. We went looking for the biggest armadillo of the them all- the giant armadillo! This species is not to b...
Kappatagudda, Kelur, and Papanasi to evaluate the collision rate of animals with the wind turbines. We assessed the bird diversity at VV Sagar, Jogimatti, and Kappatagudda wind turbine and control sites. Among all the sites, Kappatagudda is one of the large tracts of hill system having ...
We have shown the tail to be effective at repelling mosquitoes, but it may be less effective with faster insects. Whereas small insects such as mosquitoes are limited to 1 m s–1 flight speeds (Dudley, 2002), larger insects can fly much faster, with one study finding that insects fly...
(directionality index). DI calculates the difference of contact frequencies between downstream bins and upstream bins for each bin with a window, which is then applied in HMM to predict each bin to be one of three preset states. TADs are clustered as continuous regions from the beginning bin ...
(above and Additional file3C), as the ones performed with one of the proxies essentially yielded the same results. The latter are nevertheless detailed in Additional file3D. While our sampling endeavoured to cover the whole range of body sizes for each lifestyle, a difference of size was ...
However, the situation changed dramatically with the breakup of the Soviet Union. Rural poverty and unemployment, combined with the opening of the border with China and high prices for horn, as well as a collapse in law enforcement and management, led to massive poaching of the species, ...
One allele at this locus increased TVN by 0.5. The 95% confidence interval for the major QTL was defined within a 400 kb segment containing the VRTN gene (Figure S2). This result is consistent with previous studies [7, 9, 27-30]. To refine the location of the QTL, we increased the ...
With the exception of one aquatic and one subterranean mammal, the range of eccentricity does not overlap between both groups. Only in squamates, a negative correlation is found between canal size and canal ellipticity. This may well be related to a more flattened head shape in squamates47,48,...
n is an integer between 1 and 3; and R 6 is an alkyl chain having between 1 and 3 carbon atoms with the provision that at least one of R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is H, that at least one of R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is not H, and that R 2 and R 4 are not both OA, and pharm...
