effects of artificial light at night on the foraging behavior of an endangered nocturnal mammal.	modification of nighttime light levels by artificial illumination (artificial light at night; alan) is a rapidly increasing form of human disturbance that affects natural environments worldwide. light in natural environments influences a variety of physiological and ecological processes directly and indirectly and, as a result, the effects of light pollution on species, communities and ecosystems are emerging as significant. small prey species may be particularly susceptible to alan as it makes ...	2020	32320890
estimation of the force-velocity properties of individual muscles from measurement of the combined plantarflexor properties.	the force-velocity (f-v) properties of isolated muscles or muscle fibers have been well studied in humans and other animals. however, determining properties of individual muscles in vivo remains a challenge because muscles usually function within a synergistic group. modeling has been used to estimate the properties of an individual muscle from the experimental measurement of the muscle group properties. while this approach can be valuable, the models and the associated predictions are difficult ...	2020	32680898
rodents' responses to manipulated plant litter and seed densities: implications for restoration.	rodent populations in arid grasslands do not always track seed production, possibly due to high levels of plant litter. when natural disturbances are suppressed, litter accumulates becoming physically complex, causing rodents to harvest fewer seeds per equivalent time foraging. it also alters security from predation. restoring natural disturbances may be an important element in conserving rodent communities. the aim of this study was to assess the influence of two levels of plant litter cover an ...	2020	32704449
