The role of allochrony in influencing interspecific differences in foraging distribution during the non-breeding season between two congeneric crested penguin species

Creator:: Green, Cara-Paige, Ratcliffe, Norman, Mattern, Thomas, Thompson, David, Lea, Mary-Anne, Wotherspoon, Simon, Borboroglu, Pablo Garcia, Ellenberg, Ursula, Morrison, Kyle W., Pütz, Klemens, Sagar, Paul M., Seddon, Philip J., Torres, Leigh G., and Hindell, Mark A.
Abstract:: Mechanisms promoting coexistence between closely related species are fundamental for maintaining species diversity. Mechanisms of niche differentiation include allochrony which offsets the peak timing of resource utilisation between species. Many studies focus on spatial and temporal niche partitioning during the breeding season, few have investigated the role allochrony plays in...

Temperature Evolution of Nonreacting Spark Kernels at Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

Creator:: Caplan, Daniel L.
Abstract:: In the event of a mid-flight flameout of a gas turbine engine, reignition is paramount to occupant safety.

Response to fragmentation by avian communities is mediated by species traits

Creator:: Valente, Jonathon J. and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Aim The hypothesis that habitat fragmentation negatively influences biodiversity stems from island biogeography and metapopulation theory which predict negative impacts of decreasing patch size on richness and distribution patterns. Empirical support of this idea is weak in terrestrial systems, though tests of fragmentation effects are typically confounded with landscape composition...
