Abstract Background In the darkness of the ocean, an impressive number of taxa have evolved the capability to emit light.Many mesopelagic organisms emit a dim ventral glow that matches with the residual environmental light in order to camouflage themselves (counterillumination function).Sharks use their luminescence mainly for this purpose.Specific
Evaporation is an essential reference to the management of water resources.In this study, a hybrid model that integrates a Sauce Dispenser spatial neural fuzzy network with the kringing method is developed to estimate pan evaporation at ungauged sites.The adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) can extract the nonlinear relationship o
Abstract Social foraging is thought to provide the possibility of information transmission between individuals, but this advantage has been proved only in a handful of species and contexts.We investigated how social connections in captive flocks of house sparrows (Passer domesticus) affected the discovery of (i.e.feeding for the first time from) tw
