the use of network analysis to study complex animal communication systems: a study on nightingale song.the singing of song birds can form complex signal systems comprised of numerous subunits sung with distinct combinatorial properties that have been described as syntax-like. this complexity has inspired inquiries into similarities of bird song to human language; but the quantitative analysis and description of song sequences is a challenging task. in this study, we analysed song sequences of common nightingales (luscinia megarhynchos) by means of a network analysis. we translated long nocturnal ...201424807258

individual migration timing of common nightingales is tuned with vegetation and prey phenology at breeding sites.the timing of migration substantially influences individual fitness. to match peak requirements with peak resource availability, we hypothesized that individual migrants schedule spring migration in close relation to seasonal changes in environmental conditions along the route and particularly, at the breeding destination.to test this hypothesis, we investigated the timing of spring migration in male common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos, a small palearctic-african long-distance migrant, by ...201424650177

changing landscape of nursing homes in singapore: challenges in the 21st century.the ageing population is posing new challenges to singapore's healthcare system. the rise of dual income and the decline of extended families, as well as an increase in age-related degenerative disorders due to increased longevity render it difficult for the family to remain the primary social safety net to care for our elderly in their own homes. consequently, nursing homes may become increasingly relevant for resource and expertise-challenged families to cope with the burden of caring for a fr ...201424557465

hybrid vascular surgery approaches for multilevel arterial occlusive disease.the incidence of multilevel vascular occlusive disease is increased with patient age. multilevel arterial occlusive disease cases are some of the hardest in the vascular surgical realm because of the comorbidities. in these high-risk patients inflow constrictions may limit the success of distal bypasses. at the same time the constrictions in the outflow may necessitate long bypass circuits that have less long-term patency rates.201525881221

registered nurses' descriptions of caring: a phenomenographic interview study.nursing has come a long way since the days of florence nightingale and even though no consensus exists it would seem reasonable to assume that caring still remains the inner core, the essence of nursing. in the light of the societal, contextual and political changes that have taken place during the 21st century, it is important to explore whether these might have influenced the essence of nursing. the aim of this study was to describe registered nurses' conceptions of caring.201525834478

multiple song features are related to paternal effort in common nightingales.sexual ornamentation may be related to the degree of paternal care and the 'good-parent' model predicts that male secondary characters honestly advertise paternal investment. in most birds, males are involved in bringing up the young and successful reproduction highly depends on male contribution during breeding. in passerines, male song is indicative of male attributes and for few species it has been shown that song features also signal paternal investment to females. males of nightingales lusc ...201526084455

polymorphism at the clock gene predicts phenology of long-distance migration in birds.dissecting phenotypic variance in life history traits into its genetic and environmental components is at the focus of evolutionary studies and of pivotal importance to identify the mechanisms and predict the consequences of human-driven environmental change. the timing of recurrent life history events (phenology) is under strong selection, but the study of the genes that control potential environmental canalization in phenological traits is at its infancy. candidate genes for circadian behaviou ...201525780812

geographic isolation drives divergence of uncorrelated genetic and song variation in the ruddy-capped nightingale-thrush (catharus frantzii; aves: turdidae).montane barriers influence the evolutionary history of lineages by promoting isolation of populations. the effects of these historical processes are evident in patterns of differentiation among extant populations, which are often expressed as genetic and behavioral variation between populations. we investigated the effects of geographic barriers on the evolutionary history of a mesoamerican bird by studying patterns of genetic and vocal variation in the ruddy-capped nightingale-thrush (turdidae: ...201626302950

longer wings for faster springs - wing length relates to spring phenology in a long-distance migrant across its range.in migratory birds, morphological adaptations for efficient migratory flight often oppose morphological adaptations for efficient behavior during resident periods. this includes adaptations in wing shape for either flying long distances or foraging in the vegetation and in climate-driven variation of body size. in addition, the timing of migratory flights and particularly the timely arrival at local breeding sites is crucial because fitness prospects depend on site-specific phenology. thus, adap ...201626811775
