Initial Results of Native Species Establishment on Highway Corridors in West Virginia
Introduced and invasive species have been recognized as potential threats to natural plant communities. Many such plant species are introduced along roadways, which then can spread to adjacent fields and forests.

METHODS In a grassland with highly heterogeneous soils and communit...

متن کاملPigeon Homing along Highways and Exits
BACKGROUND Anecdotal observations and early airplane and helicopter tracking studies suggest that pigeons sometimes follow large roads and use landmarks as turning points during their homeward journey. However, technical limitations in tracking pigeon routes have prevented proof. RESULTS Here, we present experimental and statistical evidence for this strategy from the analysis of 216 GPS-reco...
