Several legal acts mandate that management agencies regularly assess biological populations. For species with distinct markings, these assessments can be conducted noninvasively via capture‐recapture and photographic identification (photo‐ID), which involves processing considerable quantities of photographic data. To ease this burden, agencies increasingly rely on automated identification (ID) algorithms. Identification algori...

Accurate characterization of head kinematics following an external blow represents a fundamental aspect of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. The majority of previous large animal studies have assumed an equivalent relationship between the device delivering the impulsive load and subsequent head kinematics rather than performing direct measurement (sensors or videography). The current study therefore examined factors affec...

As countries advance in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for climate change mitigation, consistent estimates of aboveground net biomass change (∆AGB) are needed. Countries with limited forest monitoring capabilities in the tropics and subtropics rely on IPCC 2006 default ∆AGB rates, which are values per ecological zone, per continent. Similarly, research into forest biomass change at a large scale also makes use of these rates....

Samples of the forest‐dwelling mouse Abrothrix olivaceus and the steppe‐dwelling A. xanthorhinus across a transect between 45 and 47° S in southern Chile were analysed using the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b ) sequence, substantially adding to the data presented previously for these taxa from Argentina and Chile. The level of variation in the cyt b sequence throughout the entire olivaceus/xanthorhinus complex is comparable...

If conservation efforts are to be implemented before a species becomes imperiled, population declines must be identified before that species becomes extremely rare. Historic survey data are more useful than recent data for detecting such declines. We compared 1960s and 1990s fish survey data from 10 drainages in Wyoming (U.S.A.) in an effort to identify declining species, but these comparisons were problematic because of diffe...
