Multiple factors associated with nest-site selection in a wetland-specialist, the Wren-like Rushbird (Phleocryptes melanops)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-05)
Diverse factors may limit nest-site selection; however, nest predation has long been considered a main factor driving nest-site selection in birds. Marsh-nesting birds face a particularly important trade-off between habitat ...
Nest site selection of the Kelp gull (Larus dominicanus) in the Beagle Channel, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
(Springer, 2010-01)
Nest site selection of Kelp gulls Larus dominicanus breeding in Conejo and Bridges islands, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, was assessed between 14 and 30 December 2005 to describe variability in nest site features and determine ...
Basking and retreat site selection of phymaturus palluma, a rock-dwelling lizard in the highlands of aconcagua
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2021-05)
Basking and retreat sites constitute a key resource in the habitat of any ectotherm. Identifying the elements that are used and modelling the microhabitat selection of species is crucial for assessing the impact of ...
Human genomic regions with exceptionally high levels of population differentiation identified from 911 whole-genome sequences
(BioMed Central, 2016-06-30)
Population differentiation has proved to be effective for identifying loci under geographically localized positive selection, and has the potential to identify loci subject to balancing selection. We have previously ...
Rapid assessment of environmental health risks posed by mining operations in low- and middle-income countries: Selected case studies
(Springer, 2013)
Previous studies have evaluated associated health risks and human exposure pathways at mining sites. Others have provided estimates of the scale of the issue based in part on surveys. However, a global census of mining-related ...
Selecting control sites for post-fire ecological studies using biological criteria and modis time series data
(Association for Fire Ecology, 2017-02)
Wildland fires play a key role in the functioning and structure of vegetation. The availability of sensors aboard satellites, such as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), makes possible the construction ...
Ecological site classification of semiarid rangelands: Synergistic use of Landsat and Hyperion imagery
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Ecological sites are the basic entity used in rangeland health assessment. This study evaluates the synergistic use of multi- and hyper-spectral satellite imagery for sub-pixel classification of ecological sites in semiarid ...
Ecological site classification of semiarid rangelands: Synergistic use of Landsat and Hyperion imagery
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Ecological sites are the basic entity used in rangeland health assessment. This study evaluates the syn- ergistic use of multi- and hyper-spectral satellite imagery for sub-pixel classification of ecological sites in ...
