Ecologists have traditionally focused on herbivore carcasses as study models in scavenging
research. However, some observations of scavengers avoiding feeding on carnivore …

To solve current environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and
rapid conversion of natural areas due to urbanization and agricultural expansion, researchers …

Climate change is a well-documented driver of both wildlife extinction and disease emergence,
but the negative impacts of climate change on parasite diversity are undocumented. We …

Epidemiological models are dominated by compartmental models, of which SIR formulations
are the most commonly used. These formulations can be continuous or discrete (in either …

The implementation of intelligent software to identify and classify objects and individuals in
visual fields is a technology of growing importance to operatives in many fields, including …

Predation is a strong ecological force that shapes animal communities through natural
selection. Recent studies have shown the cascading effects of predation risk on ecosystems …

Watersheds continue to be urbanized across different regions of the United States, increasing
the number of impaired waterbodies due to urban stormwater. Using machine learning …

Evolutionary biologists often assume that male competition for females is the root of the
evolution of elaborate coloration and song. However, recent findings show that in the ancestral …

Population viability analysis (PVA) is used to assess the probability that a biological
population will persist for a specified period of time. Such models are typically cast as Markov …

Parasite conservation is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of ecology, epidemiology,
parasitology, and public health. The overwhelming diversity of parasitic life on earth, and …
