Parametric kernel methods currently dominate the literature regarding construction of animal home ranges (HRs) and utilization distributions (UDs). These frequently fail to capture kinds hard boundaries common many natural systems. Recently a local convex hull (LoCoH) nonparametric method, which generalizes minimum polygon (MCP) was shown be more appropriate than parametric for constructing HRs UDs, because its ability identify (e.g., rivers, cliff edges) convergence true distribution as...
A table of energy level patterns for rigid asymmetric rotors is given, by means which this approximation to the rotational energies all molecules up J = 10 may be readily evaluated.

Several hydrogen peroxide infrared absorption bands have been obtained under 0.2 cm—1 resolution. They demonstrate both doubling due to internal rotation and effects the inertial asymmetry. The ground-state rotational constants are found be: A″=10.068 cm—1, B″=0.8740, C″=0.8384. These parameters indicate a wide dihedral angle for H2O2, as proposed in following structure: OO bond=1.475 A, OH bond=0.950 angle=119.8°, OOH angle=94.8°. applied microwave data H2O2 deuterated species. splitting is...

Abstract The epidemic potential of a disease is traditionally assessed using the basic reproductive number, R 0 . However, in populations with social or spatial structure chronic more likely to invade than an acute same , because it persists longer within each group and allows for host movement between groups. Acute diseases ‘perceive’ structured population, important consider population analyses these diseases. probability pandemic does not arise independently from characteristics either...
Significance Modular organization in animal social networks is hypothesized to alleviate the cost of disease burden group-living species. However, our analysis empirical 43 species along with theoretical demonstrates that infectious spread largely unaffected by underlying modular organization, except when are extremely subdivided. We show high fragmentation and subgroup cohesion, which both associated modularity networks, induce structural delay trapping infections through these reducing...
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal of deer, elk, and moose transmitted through direct, animal-to-animal contact, indirectly, via environmental contamination. Considerable attention has been paid to modeling direct transmission, but despite the fact that CWD prions can remain infectious in environment for years, relatively little information exists about potential effects indirect transmission on dynamics. In present study, we use simulation models demonstrate how duration prion...
Abstract Whole-genome sequencing has provided fundamental insights into infectious disease epidemiology, but rarely been used for examining transmission dynamics of a bacterial pathogen in wildlife. In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), outbreaks brucellosis have increased cattle along with rising seroprevalence elk. Here we use genomic approach to examine Brucella abortus evolution, cross-species and spatial spread GYE. We find that was introduced wildlife this region at least five...
The One Health initiative is a global effort fostering interdisciplinary collaborations to address challenges in human, animal, and environmental health. While has received considerable press, its benefits remain unclear because effects have not been quantitatively described. We systematically surveyed the published literature used social network analysis measure interdisciplinarity studies constructing dynamic pathogen transmission models. number of publications fulfilling our search...
Conservation of migration requires information on behavior and environmental determinants. The spatial distribution forage resources, which exploits, often are altered may have subtle, unintended consequences. Supplemental feeding is a common management practice, particularly for ungulates in North America Europe, carryover effects this anthropogenic manipulation expected theory, but received limited empirical evaluation, regarding migration. We used global positioning system (GPS) data to...
Wildlife reintroductions select or treat individuals for good health with the expectation that these will fare better than infected animals. However, individuals, new to their environment, may also be particularly susceptible circulating infections and this result in high morbidity mortality, potentially jeopardizing goals of recovery. Here, using reintroduction grey wolf (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone National Park as a case study, we address question how parasites invade reintroduced...

Infection risk is assumed to increase with social group size, and thus be a cost of living. We assess infection costs respect size using data from an epidemic sarcoptic mange (Sarcoptes scabiei) among grey wolves (Canis lupus). demonstrate that does not predict individual infection, in terms reduced survival, can entirely offset by having sufficient numbers pack-mates. Infected individuals experience increased mortality hazards increasing proportions infected pack-mates, but healthy remain...
