Scatter hoarding by the Central American agouti: a test of optimal cache spacing theory

Animal Behaviour, 78(6), 1327–1333.

author keywords: cache pilferage; camera trapping; Central American agouti; Dasyprocta punctata; food availability; optimal cache spacing; scatter hoarding; seed dispersal; tropical forest
TL;DR: This work quantified cache pilferage and cache spacing by the Central American agouti in the tropical forest of Barro Colorado Island, Panama, across 10 1 ha plots and concluded that the optimal cache density depends not only on the nutritional value of food but also on the economic value, which may vary in space as well as time.

Rapid adaptive evolution of northeastern coyotes via hybridization with wolves

Biology Letters, 6(1), 89–93.

By: R. Kays*, A. Curtis* & J. Kirchman*

author keywords: hybridization; adaptive introgression; range expansion; genetic variation; morphological variation
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Biological / genetics; Analysis of Variance; Animals; Base Sequence; Biological Evolution; Body Weights and Measures; Coyotes / anatomy & histology; Coyotes / genetics; DNA Primers / genetics; DNA, Mitochondrial / genetics; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Haplotypes / genetics; Hybridization, Genetic; Likelihood Functions; Models, Genetic; Molecular Sequence Data; North America; Phylogeny; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Skull / anatomy & histology; Wolves / anatomy & histology; Wolves / genetics
TL;DR: It is suggested that hybridization with wolves in Canada introduced adaptive variation that contributed to larger size, which in turn allowed eastern coyotes to better hunt deer, allowing a more rapid colonization of new areas than coyotes without introgressed wolf genes.

Mixed stream channel morphologies: implications for fish community diversity

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 19(2), 147–156.

By: C. Cianfrani*, S. Sullivan*, W. Hession* & M. Watzin*

author keywords: fish community diversity; mixed morphologies; pool-riffle; rivers/streams; stream classification
TL;DR: The results suggest that fish community diversity is significantly associated with distinct channel morphologies, and support fish sampling schemes that incorporate morphological heterogeneity, such as proportional-distance designation. (via Semantic Scholar)

Contributors: J. Richmond-Bryant*

author keywords: Airborne infection isolation room; Aerosol transport; Computational fluid dynamics; Indoor air quality; Particle transport
TL;DR: Investigation of the characteristics of the spatial velocity and concentration profiles which might result in health care workers’ exposure to a pathogenic agent in an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR) suggest that unintended exposures are possible despite the ventilation system.
