Functional response of the least weasel, Mustela ni7alis ni7alis
We investigated the functional response of the least weasel (Mustela ni6alis ni6alis) in a series of experiments conducted in large outdoor enclosures (0.5 ha). Radiocollared Microtus voles were released in the enclosures at different densities (4, 8, 16 and 100/ha) three days before the release of a radiocollared weasel. During the three-day experiment every vole killed was replaced with anoth...
متن کاملTrade-offs between activity and thermoregulation in a small carnivore, the least weasel Mustela nivalis.
We studied factors influencing daily energy expenditures (DEE) of male least weasels (Mustela nivalis) using the doubly labelled water technique. The relationship between ambient temperature and DEE formed a triangular pattern, characterized by invariance of the maximum DEE and an inverse relationship between minimum DEE and temperature. A simple energetic model relating the DEE of male weasels...
متن کاملSpecies-specific limitation of vole population growth by least weasel predation: facilitation of coexistence?
Interspecific competition is usually understood as different species competing directly with each other for limited resources. However, predators can alter such competitive interactions substantially. Predation can promote the coexistence of species in a situation where it would otherwise be impossible, for example if a tradeoff between the competitive abilities and predation resistance of the ...
متن کاملWeasel Words, Genetic Algorithms and Coarse Acknowledgements
The ‘weasel words’ example by Richard Dawkins is based on a simple genetic algorithm and is aimed at demonstrating the likelihood of evolution due to natural selection and mutations. The algorithm rewards fine changes in single letters of a random sequence towards the desired phrase. Many traits in living things, however, exhibit irreducible complexities, which make fine changes such as substit...
متن کاملMultivariate Time Series Classification with WEASEL+MUSE
Multivariate time series (MTS) arise when multiple interconnected sensors record data over time. Dealing with this high-dimensional data is challenging for every classifier for at least two aspects: First, a MTS is not only characterized by individual feature values, but also by the co-occurrence of features in different dimensions. Second, this typically adds large amounts of irrelevant data a...
