Individual consistency and sex differences in migration strategies of Scopoli's shearwaters Calonectris diomedea despite year differences
Recently-developed capabilities for tracking the movements of individual birds over the course of a year or longer has provided increasing evidence for consistent individual differences in migration schedules and destinations. This raises questions about the relative importance of individual consistency versus flexibility in the evolution of migration strategies, and has implications for the ability of populations to respond to climatic change. Using geolocators, we tracked the migrations of Scopoli's shearwaters Calonectris diomedea breeding in Linosa (Italy) across three years, and analysed timing and spatial aspects of their movements. Birds showed remarkable variation in their main wintering destination along the western coast of Africa. We found significant individual consistency in the total distance traveled, time spent in transit, and time that individuals spent in the win- tering areas. We found extensive sex differences in scheduling, duration, distances and destinations of migratory journeys. We also found sex differences in the degree of individual consistency in aspects of migration behaviour. Despite strong evidence for individual consistency, which indicates that migration journeys from the same bird tended to be more similar than those of dif- ferent birds, there remained substantial intra-individual variation between years. Indeed, we also found clear annual differences in departure dates, return dates, wintering period, the total distance traveled and re~rn routes from wintering grounds back to the colony. These findings show that this population flexibly shifts migration schedules as well as routes between years in response to direct or indirect effects of heterogeneity in the environment, while maintaining consistent individual migration strategies [Current Zoology 60 (5): 631-641, 2014].Martina S.

多义动词义项距离与义项分合
在多义词义项辨识或词义消歧中,义项划分的标准具有重要的制约作用.义项距离是进行义项划分的重要参考.多义动词义项距离与动词义项的三种组合特征-语义组合特征、语法组合特征及固定搭配特征密切相关,并由这三种特征的距离共同决定.在对100个现代汉语双义项动词的义项距离进行计算的基础上,可以得到动词义项的分合标准.林进展 - 厦门大学学报(哲学社会科学版)文章来源: 万方数据 -
关于两人抬物体所蕴含的力学原理
0引言两人一起抬某个物体在我们生活中是非常常见的现象,而且在两人抬一个物体时通常会有人建议个高的在后面抬,个矮的在前面抬;或者是建议劲大的抬物体的大头,或者建议劲大的抬得时候距离重心近一些,劲小的距离重心远一些.上面的生活现象都是我们所知道事实,我们自己也时不时会遇到这样的情况,但是其中的道理是什么,却需要仔细思考,特别是从力学的角度加以讨论.为了能让我们更清楚的知道这种现象所蕴含的力学原理,我们将从以下几步来展开讨论.1两人抬物体的力学模型的建立一般情况下,我们抬物体时对物体的作用点距离物体的重心并不相等,两人身高也并不是绝对相等,工作的地面也不完全是水平面等客观现实的存在,因此我们在建立这个力学模型时需要把这些因素考虑进去,因此我们对力学模型的龚兴美,有四普,夏清华 - 中学物理(高中版)文章来源: 万方数据 -

Human activity affects the perception of risk by mule deer
Human activity has been shown to influence how animals assess the risk of predation, but we know little about the spatial scale of such impacts. We quantified how vigilance and flight behavior in mule deer Odocoileus hemionus varied with distance from an area of concentrated human activity--a subalpine field station. An observer walked trails at various distances away from the station looking for deer. Upon encounter, the observer walked toward the focal animal and noted the distance at which it alerted and directed its attention to the approaching human (Alert Distance; AD), and the distance at which it fled (Flight Initiation Distance;. FID). AD and FID both increased nonlinearly with distance from the center of the field station, reaching pla- teaus around 250 m and 750 m, respectively. Deer also tended to flee by stotting or running, rather than by walking, when far from the station but they walked away when near the station. These results indicate that deer perceive lower risk near a focused area of human activity, and that vigilance and flight behaviors respond on somewhat different spatial scales. The concept of a spatial "human footprint" on behavior may be useful for understanding how human activities affect wildlifeMary V. PRICE,Evelyn H. STROMBOM,Daniel T. BLUMSTEIN - 动物学报(英文版)文章来源: 万方数据
