0001 The recent discovery of a Hobbit-like hominid on the Indonesian island of Flores was startling in some respects—its rather modern existence, for one—but it represents a classic case of Darwinian evolution. For reasons that are not entirely clear, when animals make their way to isolated islands, they tend to evolve relatively quickly toward an outsized or pint-sized version of their mainlan...

Knowledge of the floral cycle and the spatial distribution and abundance of flowering plants is important for bee health studies to understand the relationship between landscape and bee hive productivity and honey flow. The key objective of this study was to show how AISA Eagle hyperspectral data and random forest (RF) can be optimally utilized to produce flowering and spatially explicit land u...

We conducted a series of playback experiments with free-ranging putty-nosed monkeys at Gashaka Gumti National Park, Nigeria. In a first experiment, we observed the behavior of the females of a habituated group in response to playbacks of natural call series of their own male. A female could serve as focal subject if she was located at the periphery of the group while the male was at the opposit...
