متن کاملPredicting nest survival in sea turtles: when and where are eggs most vulnerable to predation?
Nest predation is an important practical challenge for the conservation of egglaying reptiles, with the potential to reduce hatchling recruitment and slow the recovery of threatened populations. Accurately forecasting where and when predation will occur has the potential to optimize predation management. Survival analysis, a set of statistical techniques recently popularized in studies of avian...
متن کاملMicrobial Infections Are Associated with Embryo Mortality in Arctic-Nesting Geese.
To address the role of bacterial infection in hatching failure of wild geese, we monitored embryo development in a breeding population of Greater white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. During 2013, we observed mortality of normally developing embryos and collected 36 addled eggs for analysis. We also collected 17 infertile eggs for comparison. Using standar...
متن کاملA link between water availability and nesting success mediated by predator-prey interactions in the Arctic.
Although water availability is primarily seen as a factor affecting food availability (a bottom-up process), we examined its effect on predator-prey interactions through an influence on prey behavior (a top-down process). We documented a link between water availability, predation risk, and reproductive success in a goose species (Chen caerulescens atlantica) inhabiting an Arctic environment whe...
متن کاملAre migraineur women really more vulnerable to stress and less able to cope?
BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to investigate the differences between a sample of migraineurs and non-migraineurs with regard to their stress symptoms, tendency to stress, coping styles and life satisfaction. METHODS This study was carried out on a migraineur group (n = 62, mean age: 37.5 +/- 11.3, range: 18 to 61 years) and a non-migraineur group (n = 58, mean age: 32.0 +/- 11.2, range: ...
