We used repeated sightings of individual birds encountered in community-level surveys to investigate the relative roles of habitat and biological interactions in determining the distribution and abundance of each species.To analyze these data, we developed a multispecies N-mixture model that allowed estimation of both positive and negative correlat
Synthetic mosquito oviposition attractants are sorely needed for surveillance and control programs for Culex species, which are major vectors of pathogens causing various human daddario ej10 diseases, including filariasis, encephalitis, and West Nile encephalomyelitis.We employed novel and conventional chemical ecology approaches to identify potent
Abstract Axions and axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales, making for a natural detection technique in searches for solar axions.We find that there are large suppressive corrections, potentially greater than a factor of O $$ mathcal{O}
Prisons are the structures used for incarcerated inmates and are often overcrowded and understaffed.This often leads to inhumane conditions and increased violence.Smart building technologies can help to alleviate these problems to some extent and improve communication between staff and prisoners.However, selecting appropriate smart building technol
Little is known about prenatal and perinatal brain injury resulting in subsequent clumsy behavior in children.One candidate motor system is the pyramidal tract.The tract traverses the entire central nervous system and, through direct and indirect connections to the brainstem and spinal cord sensory and motor nuclei, is involved in the learning and
