Practically all animals are affected by humans, especially in urban areas. Although most species respond negatively to urbanization, some thrive human-dominated settings. A central question ecology is why adapt well the presence of humans and others do not. We show that Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) nesting on campus a large university rapidly learn assess level threat posed different accordingly. In controlled experiment, we found as same human approached threatened nest 4...
The scholars comprising journal editorial boards play a critical role in defining the trajectory of knowledge their field. Nevertheless, studies board composition remain rare, especially those focusing on journals publishing research increasingly globalized fields science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Using metrics for quantifying diversity ecological communities, we quantified international representation 1985–2014 24 environmental biology journals. Over course 3 decades, there...
Abstract Aim The role of migratory birds in the spread parasites is poorly known, part because strategies and behaviours potentially affecting transmission are not easy to study. We investigated dynamics infection by blood through annual cycle a long‐distance Nearctic–Neotropical songbird examine this species dispersing between continents. Location Americas. Taxon Grey‐cheeked Thrush ( Catharus minimus , Aves, Passeriformes, Turdidae), Birds. Methods used molecular microscopy screening...
Effective stewardship of data is a critical precursor to making FAIR. The goal this paper bring an overview current state the art management and planning solutions (DMP). We begin by arguing why important vehicle supporting adoption implementation FAIR principles, we describe background, context historical development, as well major driving forces, being research initiatives funders. Then provide leading DMP tools in form table presenting key characteristics. Next, elaborate on emerging...
Red colobus monkeys, due to their sensitivity environmental change, are indicator species of the overall health tropical rainforest habitats. As a result habitat loss and overhunting, they among most endangered primates in world, with very few viable populations remaining. Traditionally, extant have been used signify conditions current habitats, but also employed track past by detecting previous population fluctuations. Kibale National Park (KNP) Uganda harbors only remaining unthreatened...
Abstract Evidence is accumulating that individuals in poor physiologic condition may accumulate mutational damage faster than good condition. If results from pre-existing deleterious mutations, the result “fitness-dependent mutation rate,” which has interesting theoretical implications. Here we report a study 10 accumulation (MA) lines of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans had previously accumulated mutations for 250 generations under relaxed selection were expanded into sets “second-order” MA...
White sand terra firme forests are unusual ecosystems scattered across Amazonia, covering just 3% of the basin. These differ from surrounding in their scleromorphic vegetation, low nutrient content, and propensity to harbor endemics. We report capture 62 Gray-cheeked Thrushes (Catharus minimus) during a study understory avifauna Amazonian white near Iquitos, Peru, conducted 20 June 8 December 2010–2012. captured banded (N = 57) adjacent weathered clay 5) forests.

The purpose of this paper is to explore current data management training needs and practices for Belmont Forum member agencies researchers inform a Toolkit. Fourteen affiliated individuals were interviewed following predetermined set questions create curation profiles their funded work. profile questionnaire includes related management, storage, stakeholders, costs, training, credentials. interview findings highlight gaps in existing knowledge theory practice that could impact re-use....
Abstract Despite the enormous advances in genetics, links between phenotypes and genotypes have been made for only a few nonmodel organisms. However, such can be essential to understand mechanisms of ecological speciation. The Costa Rican endemic Mangrove Warbler subspecies provides an excellent subject study differentiation with gene flow, as it is distributed along strong precipitation gradient on Pacific coast no geographic barriers isolate populations. populations could divergent...
Body size mediates life history, physiology and inter- intra-specific interactions. Within species, sexes frequently differ in size, reflecting divergent selective pressures and/or constraints. Both sexual selection differences environmentally mediated reproductive constraints can drive dimorphism, but empirically testing causes of dimorphism is challenging. Manakins (Pipridae), a family Neotropical birds comprising approximately 50 exhibit broad range from male- to female-biased are...
Resumen ∙ La muda y reproducción, así como la superposición de ambos procesos en vida las aves, son temas prácticamente desconocidos mayoría ambientes tropicales Sudamérica, especialmente Amazonía peruana. Nuestro estudio contribuye al conocimiento estos esta zona del Neotrópico, por medio análisis datos recogidos a lo largo un año avifauna sotobosque Reserva Nacional Allpahuayo Mishana, su relación con factores ambientales bióticos (floración fructificación) abióticos (precipitación,...
Abstract Data and how that data are organized, accessed, used, remain central to the advancement of science, as evidenced through calls for reproducibility demands enable re‐use. management plans describe roles, responsibilities, activities managing during after research. This paper presents development a plan scorecard. The assessment provides one measure evaluate planned be shared first step down road towards shareable data. scorecard widely‐applicable, scalable, simple tool assess...
