| enso, nest predation risk, food abundance, and male status fail to explain annual variations in the apparent survival rate of a migratory songbird. | adult mortality can be a major driver of population decline in species whose productivity is relatively low. yet, little is known about the factors influencing adult survival rates in migratory bird species, nor do we know much about the longer-term effects of habitat disturbance on the fitness of individuals. the ovenbird (seiurus aurocapilla) is one of the vertebrate species most sensitive to forest management, yet it is still common and widespread. we monitored the fate of 330 colour-banded o ... | 2014 | 25419839 |
| online gis services for mapping and sharing disease information. | disease data sharing is important for the collaborative preparation, response, and recovery stages of disease control. disease phenomena are strongly associated with spatial and temporal factors. web-based geographical information systems provide a real-time and dynamic way to represent disease information on maps. however, data heterogeneities, integration, interoperability, and cartographical representation are still major challenges in the health geographic fields. these challenges cause barr ... | 2008 | 18298859 |
