To forage or hide? Threat-sensitive foraging behaviour in wild, non-reproductive passerine birds
Because antipredator behaviours are costly, the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis predicts that individual animals should express predator-avoidance behaviour proportionally to the perceived threat posed by the predator. Here, we experimentally tested this hypothesis by providing wild passerine birds supplemental food (on a raised feeding platform) at either 1 or 4 m from the edge of forest cover (potential refuge), in either the presence or absence of a nearby simulated predation threat (a sharp-shinned hawk Accipiter striatus model). Compared with the control treatment, we observed proportionally fewer bird visits to the food patch, and the birds took longer to re-emerge from forest refuge and return to feed at the food patch, after the hawk presentation than before it. The observed threat-sensitive latency-to-return response was stronger when the food patch was further away from the nearest refuge. Overall, our results are consistent with the predictions of the threat-sensitive predator avoidance hypothesis in that wild passerine birds (primarily black-capped chickadees Poecile atricapillus) exhibited more intense antipre- dator behavioural responses with increasing level of apparent threat. The birds were thus sensitive to their local perceived threat of predation and traded-off safety from predation (by refuging) and foraging gains in open habitat in a graded, threat-sensitive manner [Current Zoology 60 (6): 719-728, 2014].Shaun TURNEY,Jean-Guy J.

Birds on the move: Special column on bird movement
Studying movements is essential for shedding light on a number of issues related to avian biology: behavioral aspects such as foraging, migratory routes and strategies, navigation and orientation mechanisms; ecological aspects such as metapopulation dynamics, insular biogeography, seed dispersal, disease spread; conservation biology such as the effects of habitat fragmentation, identification of key areas deserving protection, effects of climate change. Despite these relevant issues, the topic of "Movement ecology" on its own has only been highlighted recently (Nathan et al., 2008);although, the investigation of animal movements has always been one of the most fascinating topics for any zoologist and often is also quite a difficult task.Giuseppe BOGLIANI,Ugo MELLONE,Guest Editors - 动物学报(英文版)文章来源: 万方数据 -

多孔介质分形特征对回灌渗透性能的影响
为掌握孔隙介质级配和均匀性对水源热泵回灌过程中堵塞的影响,通过室内回灌试验测定了不同级配试样回灌渗透能力,利用颗粒级配分形维数分析了试样级配和不均匀性与回灌渗透性能的相关关系.结果表明级配分形维数D与不均匀系数的对数(lnCu)之间呈负相关,与渗透系数和孔隙度n则呈正相关.从而为不同水文地质条件地区水源热泵工程的适宜性分析,回灌堵塞机理的分析以及防止水源热泵工程堵塞技术的选择提供了一定的科学依据.潘俊,姜明岑,李博瑶,丁飞 - 工程勘察文章来源: 万方数据 -

飞机结冰冰形预测的建模与仿真
结冰会对飞行安全造成极大的威胁,非常有必要建立结冰的预测模型.飞机结冰顽删是智能结冰系统的重要组成部分之一.预测模型以冰形为研究对象.先用曲线替代翼型前缘,把附着于翼型上的冰形分离出来,再通过保角映射得到独立于翼型的冰形数学模型.接着以傅里叶级数形式展开,得到冰形的傅里叶系数.然后建立神经阿络预测模型,以影响飞机结冰的大气和飞行条件参数作为神经网络的输入,以冰形的傅里叶系数作为神经网络的输出.分别以传统的互项参数(液态水含量、平均水微滴直径、结冰时间、温度和飞行速度)和新增加两顷参数(相对湿度和攻角)建立网络进行训练仿真.仿真结果表明,该方法能很好地预测冰形,增加两项参数后的神经网络模型预测效果更好.潘环,艾剑良 - 系统仿真学报文章来源: 万方数据
