On optimal use of a patchy environment: archaeobotany in the Argentinean Andes (Argentina)Plant macrofossilsCaloric return ratesOptimal foraging theoryOFT is used to interpret wild plant collecting behaviors using experimental data in the Argentine Andes.I calculated maximum transport distances to better...
The Russian invasion of Ukraine hampers the ability to adequately describe conditions across the Arctic, thus biasing the view on Arctic change. Here we benchmark the pan-Arctic representativeness of the largest high-latitude research station network, IN
This behavior is not seen in any other populations of the species. Mean cluster sizes of two groups of Shodoshima monkeys are three and four in summer and 17 and 16 in winter, respectively. A maximum of 137 individuals have been seen to huddle in one cluster. It is difficult to explain ...
In shorebirds, the greater population may in- clude all birds that use an entire flyway. At this large scale, the size of the population will depend only on the balance between the rates of births and deaths because the amounts of emigration and immigration across the bound- ary will be ...
A fire management strategy of deliberate patch-mosaic burning (PMB) is postulated to promote biodiversity by providing a range of habitat patches with different fire histories, habitat qualities, and vegetation ages at a given scale. We investigated the response of avian fauna to fire, particularly...

Typically, moisturizers should be applied within three to five minutes of bathing when the skin is still damp. The moisture on the skin and in the environment is very important to dry skin. Maintaining the skin at optimal hydration and using an indoor humidifier may help improve dry skin. ...
We developed a model of composite search based on non-directional sensory cues. With simulations, we compared the search efficiencies of composite foragers that use resource encounters as their mode-switching criterion with those that use non-directional sensory cues. We identified optimal search ...
maximal and candidate models using Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for small sample sizes (AICc) and the difference in AICc (ΔAICc) with a threshold difference < 475to find the optimum model. The optimal model was then refitted with REML to extract model estimates and significance...
(insets,a–d) produced from GBM partial plots were used to calculate environmental conditions for optimal survival and represent the most important predictors with a corresponding goodness of fit value (R2, blue line). Intrinsic resistance models capitalize on the heritability of heat tolerance, ...
