POPULATION DYNAMICS OF FOXES DURING RESTRICTED-AREA CULLING IN BRITAIN: ADVANCING UNDERSTANDING THROUGH STATE-SPACE MODELLING OF CULLING RECORDS.

Population dynamics of foxes during restricted-area culling in Britain: Advancing understanding through state-space modelling of culling records.

Lethal control is widely employed to suppress the numbers of target wildlife species within restricted management areas.The success of such measures is expected to vary with local circumstances affecting rates of removal and replacement.There is a need both to evaluate success in individual cases and to understand variability and its causes.In Brit

Leaf Area Index Estimation Algorithm for GF-5 Hyperspectral Data Based on Different Feature Selection and Machine Learning Methods

Leaf area index (LAI) is an essential vegetation parameter that represents the light energy utilization and vegetation canopy structure.As the only in-operation hyperspectral satellite launched by China, GF-5 is potentially useful for accurate LAI estimation.However, there is no research focus on evaluating GF-5 data for LAI estimation.Hyperspectra

Visualizing Nudivirus Assembly and Egress

ABSTRACT Enveloped viruses hijack cellular membranes in order to provide the necessary material for virion assembly.In particular, viruses that replicate and assemble inside the nucleus have developed special approaches to modify the nuclear landscape for their advantage.We used electron microscopy to investigate cellular changes occurring during n
