Individuals with more or stronger social bonds experience enhanced survival and reproduction in various species, though the mechanisms mediating these effects are unclear. Social thermoregulation is a common behaviour across many species which reduces cold stress exposure, body heat loss, homeostatic energy costs, allowing greater energetic investment growth, reproduction, survival, larger aggregations providing benefits. If individuals form due to having potential partners, this would...
The Canidae are successful, being a widespread, abundant, speciose, and adaptable family. Several canids in particular have recently experienced rapid expansions range abundance, with similar situations mirrored on several continents by different species. Despite extreme behavioural diversity between within species, monogamy is common denominator canid societies. In this review, we ask why monogamous how related to their success. We begin an overview of social monogamy, describing the pair...
There is a vast and ever-accumulating amount of behavioural data on individually recognised animals, an incredible resource to shed light the ecological evolutionary drivers variation in animal behaviour. Yet, full potential such lies comparative research across taxa with distinct life histories ecologies. Substantial challenges impede systematic comparisons, one which lack persistent, accessible standardised databases. Big-team approaches building databases offer solution facilitating...
The problem of designing and evaluating the performance a maximum likelihood sequence receiver for binary PSK transmission over bandlimited nonlinear channels is considered in this paper. effects intersymbol interference followed by AM/AM AM/PM conversions are taken into account while optimizing presence white Gaussian noise. A new representation output bandpass nonlinearity given when input consists carrier signal modulated sum overlapping pulses. structure channel derived using...
Abstract Successful conservation depends on accurate taxonomy. Currently, the taxonomy of canids in Africa, Eurasia and Australasia is unstable as recent molecular morphological studies have questioned earlier phenetic classifications. We review available information several taxa Old World Australasian Canis with phylogenetic uncertainties (namely, African jackals, Asian wolves dogs), order to assess validity suggested scientific names provide a basis for reaching taxonomic consensus...
A probability space of a special type is put into correspondence with measure space. Under this correspondence, sets in the correspond to partitions and set equals entropy corresponding partition.
Illegal live trade is one of the greatest threats to endangered Barbary macaques. Since focuses on young and macaques show extensive alloparental care, rehabilitation release into wild foster groups a promising strategy free space in sanctuaries allow continued confiscations, improve individual welfare, minimize captive care costs, reinforce populations. However, little documentation exists macaque releases age at which released would be accepted by unknown. Here, I report wild, nearly...
Strategic microhabitat selection allows animals in seasonally cold environments to reduce homeostatic energy costs, particularly overnight when thermoregulatory demands are greatest. Suitable sleeping areas may therefore represent important resources for winter survival. Knowledge of use and potential impacts anthropogenic habitat modification can aid species conservation through development targeted management plans. Wild, endangered Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) logged cedar-oak...
The spectrum of the output a half-wave rectifier is derived for an input which sum random noise and two sinusoidal signals different frequencies. method used characteristic function described by Rice. components are given as infinite series hypergeometric functions. If both .are small compared with noise, it shown that ratio signal power at difference frequency to proportional product signal-to-noise ratios one very large other translated in without alteration ratio. A correction factor...
Consider a system which consists of two receivers, each containing nonlinear device followed by zonal filter. A general method is developed for calculating the cross-correlation function outputs these receivers when inputs are related narrow-band Gaussian processes. In course development some new results obtained concerning pre-envelopes.
An expression for the error rate in a system using binary pulse position code is derived. In considered, pulses amplitude modulate carrier and resultant signal contaminated by additive Gaussian noise. At receiver are recovered an envelope detector. If synchronization errors post-detection filtering neglected, it shown that probability of approximated well <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1/2 \exp (-a^2/2)</tex> , where...
James B. Rudd has described a doublemixing circuit which transfers signal of unstable frequency to new determined by stable local oscillator. It is shown that the signal-to-noise ratio at output this related input in about same way as these ratios are square-law detector. The choice one parameters for arbitrary noise spectrum also discussed.
The Bell system is planning to add a new circuit-switched digital capability (CSDC) the telephone network. This will provide for full duplex, circuit-switched, end-to-end synchronous 56 kbit/s connections. Using combination of existing and network elements, CSDC allow present-day call setup methods support data transmission in addition voice transmission. Critical elements are those associated with loops between customers' premises central offices. paper provides an overview loop maintenance...
