Southeast Asia hosts a firefly species, Pteroptyx malaccae , that holds incredible value both scientifically and culturally. These insects exhibit synchronous swarm flashing behavior for long periods while remaining immobile. This offers a unique opportunity for scientific study: it is possible to film the fireflies and label each individual with a unique virtual ID that is preserved over the course of a video. From early Marc...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
A Standards Organization for Open and FAIR Neuroscience: the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating FacilityNARA Subscribed
There is great need for coordination around standards and best practices in neuroscience to support efforts to make neuroscience a data-centric discipline. Major brain initiatives launched around the world are poised to generate huge stores of neuroscience data. At the same time, neuroscience, like many domains in biomedicine, is confronting the issues of transparency, rigor, and reproducibility. Widely used, validated standar...
Revisiting the Classics: Considering Nonconsumptive Effects in Textbook Examples of Predator–prey InteractionsNARA Subscribed
Predator effects on prey dynamics are conventionally studied by measuring changes in prey abundance attributed to consumption by predators. We revisit four classic examples of predator–prey systems often cited in textbooks and incorporate subsequent studies of nonconsumptive effects of predators (NCE), defined as changes in prey traits (e.g., behavior, growth, development) measured on an ecological time scale. Our review revea...
Species persistence can be threatened by substantial temporal variation in food resources over time. On the other hand, spatial heterogeneity in resources at the landscape scale might allow mobile consumers to compensate for temporal variability in resource availability at the local scale. We evaluated this hypothesis, using an extensive data set on foraging, grass growth, and movement by Thomson's gazelles living on the Seren...
