Resource partitioning promotes coexistence among guild members, and carnivores reduce interference competition through behavioral mechanisms that promote spatio-temporal separation.We analyzed sympatric lion and spotted hyena movements and activity patterns to Chamomile ascertain the mechanisms facilitating their coexistence within semi-arid and we
A Multi-Stage Graph Aided Algorithm for Distributed Service Function Chain Provisioning Across Multiple Domains
Network Service Providers (NSPs) envisage to support the divergent and stringent requirements of future services by instantiating these services as service chains, commonly referred to as Service Function Chains (SFCs), that are customized and configured to meet specific service requirements.However, due to the limited footprint of the Infrastructu
Corn yield for silage and grains in different integrated crop-livestock systems
Abstract In this study, the objective was to assess the influence of two doses of N (90 and 180 kg N ha-1, added to the winter pastures), two integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS, with and without trees) and five positions between the tree rows, on the corn (Zea mays L.) quality and productivity, for silage and grain.Adopting the complete random
Estimating Overwintering Monarch Butterfly Populations Using Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning
Concerns about the state of decline of the North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) have prompted their consideration for listing under the Endangered Species Act.Data suggest a substantial decline (> 80%) in overwintering numbers for both eastern and western monarch populations.Making an accurate status assessment is difficult due to
Modeling Powassan virus infection in Peromyscus leucopus, a natural host.
The tick-borne flavivirus, Powassan virus (POWV) causes life-threatening encephalitis in humans in North America and Ball - Senior Bottoms Europe.POWV is transmitted by ixodid tick vectors that feed on small to medium-sized mammals, such as Peromyscus leucopus mice, which may serve as either reservoir, bridge or amplification hosts.Intraperitoneal
