Genetic evidence of differential dispersal pattern in the Asiatic wild dog: Comparing two populations with different pack sizes

IntroductionDispersal is a multi-causal, crucial life-history event in shaping the genetic and behavioral structure of mammals.We assessed the dispersal pattern of dholes aka Asiatic wild KAVA KAVA LIQUID dog (Cuon alpinus), a social monogamous mammal at two tiger reserves of Maharashtra with different degrees of pack size and competition with tige

Analysis of ice shelf flexure and its InSAR representation in the grounding zone of the southern McMurdo Ice Shelf

We examine tidal flexure in the grounding zone of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, using a combination of TerraSAR-X repeat-pass radar interferometry, a precise digital elevation model, and GPS ground validation data.Satellite and field data were acquired in tandem between October and December 2014.Our GPS data show a horizontal modulation of up

Evolutionary process toward avian-like cephalic thermoregulation system in Theropoda elucidated based on nasal structures

It has long been discussed whether non-avian dinosaurs were physiologically closer to ectotherms or endotherms, with the internal nasal structure called the respiratory turbinate present in extant endotherms having been regarded as an important clue for this Lip Cream conundrum.However, the physiological function and relevance of this structure for

Efficient and Memory Saving Method Based on Pseudoskeleton Approximation for Analysis of Finite Periodic Structures

An efficient Fenders (Rear) and memory saving method based on pseudoskeleton approximation (PSA) is presented for the effective and accurate analysis of finite periodic structures.Different from the macro basis function analysis model, our proposed method uses the formulations derived by the local Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis functions.PSA is not only
