Abstract:
... We report the 1st documented occurrence of California Kangaroo Rats, Dipodomys californicus, in the state of Nevada. These captures, located in juniper woodland habitat between 1627 and 1900 m in elevation, represent both the easternmost-known occurrence and the highest reported elevation for this species. ...

Abstract:
... To transport their balls of dung along a constant bearing, diurnal savannah-living dung beetles rely primarily on the sun for compass information. However, in more cluttered environments, such as woodlands, this solitary compass cue is frequently hidden from view by surrounding vegetation. In these types of habitats, insects can, instead, rely on surrounding landmarks, the canopy pattern, or wide- ...

Before running portfolio optimizations, we first test normality of return distributions of selected assets including private- and public-equity timberlands, private-equity commercial real estate, public REITs, S&P 500 index, short- and long-term government bonds, and long-term corporate bon ...

Abstract:
... Heavy metals (HMs) in soil cause adverse effects on ecosystem and human health. Quantifying ecological risk and human health risk (HHR) from sources can determine priority sources and help to mitigate the risks. In this research, geostatistics and positive matrix factorization (PMF) were used to identify and quantify the sources of soil HMs; and then ecological risk and HHR from different sources ...

Abstract:
... A better knowledge of the behaviors that reduce traffic congestions is essential to understand the success of the trail system despite of costs. Leaf-cutting ants use a trunk-trail system to transport leaf fragments into their nests. Some ants carry extra-large leaf fragments and walk slower than the rest of laden workers, thus slowing the ant column behind them. Here we experimentally address whe ...
