An efficient extension of N-mixture models for multi-species abundance estimation [0.03%]
一种有效的N-混合模型多物种丰度估计扩展方法

Juan Pablo Gomez et al.
In this study we propose an extension of the N-mixture family of models that targets an improvement of the statistical properties of rare species abundance estimators when sample sizes are low, yet typical for tropical studies. The proposed...
Using multi-response models to investigate pathogen coinfections across scales: insights from emerging diseases of amphibians [0.03%]

Associations among parasites affect many aspects of host-parasite dynamics, but a lack of analytical tools has limited investigations of parasite correlations in observational data that are often nested across spatial and biological scales....

The use of image data to quantify, study and compare variation in the colors and patterns of organisms requires the alignment of images to establish homology, followed by color-based segmentation of images. Here we describe an R package for...
A method for analysing small samples of floral pollen for free and protein-bound amino acids [0.03%]
一种分析花粉中游离和蛋白质结合氨基酸的小样品分析法

Pollen provides floral visitors with essential nutrients including proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals. As an important nutrient resource for pollinators, including honeybees and bumblebees, pollen quality is of growing interest in asse...
Processing of acceleration and dive data on-board satellite relay tags to investigate diving and foraging behaviour in free-ranging marine predators [0.03%]
基于卫星中继标签的加速度和潜水数据在轨处理以研究自由活动海洋食肉动物的潜水和觅食行为

Biologging technologies are changing the way in which the marine environment is observed and monitored. However, because device retrieval is typically required to access the high-resolution data they collect, their use is generally restrict...
Identifying consistent allele frequency differences in studies of stratified populations [0.03%]
识别分层人群中一致的等位基因频率差异

R Axel W Wiberg et al.
With increasing application of pooled-sequencing approaches to population genomics robust methods are needed to accurately quantify allele frequency differences between populations. Identifying consistent differences across stratified popul...

Null models are an important component of the social network analysis toolbox. However, their use in hypothesis testing is still not widespread. Furthermore, several different approaches for constructing null models exist, each with their r...
The Automated Root Exudate System (ARES): a method to apply solutes at regular intervals to soils in the field [0.03%]
自动根系分泌物系统（ARES）：一种方法，可定期向野外土壤中施用溶质

Luis Lopez-Sangil et al.
Root exudation is a key component of nutrient and carbon dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. Exudation rates vary widely by plant species and environmental conditions, but our understanding of how root exudates affect soil functioning is in...
Measuring site fidelity and spatial segregation within animal societies [0.03%]
动物社会中的站点忠实性和空间隔离度的测定

Animals often display a marked tendency to return to previously visited locations that contain important resources, such as water, food, or developing brood that must be provisioned. A considerable body of work has demonstrated that this te...
