Parasites can shape the foraging behaviour of their hosts through cues indicating risk infection. When for co-occur with desired traits such as forage quality, individuals face a trade-off between nutrient acquisition and parasite exposure. We evaluated how this may influence disease transmission in 3-year experimental study anthrax guild mammalian herbivores Etosha National Park, Namibia. At plains zebra (Equus quagga) carcass sites we assessed (i) effects on soils grasses, (ii)...
The use of camera traps is now widespread and their importance in wildlife studies well understood. Camera trap can produce millions photographs there a need for software to help manage efficiently. In this paper, we describe system that was built successfully large behavioral study produced more than million photographs. We the architecture design decisions shaped evolution program over study's three year period. has ability automatically extract metadata from images, add customized images...
