In machine learning and data mining, outliers—data points significantly differing from the majority—often pose challenges by introducing irrelevant information. Unsupervised methods are often used for detecting them as the information about outliers is unknown. Global-Local Outlier Scores based...

Birds of a feather do not always lek together: Genetic diversity and kinship structure of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Alberta
Download2010
Aldridge, C.L., Bush, K.L., Coltman, D.W., Carpenter, J.E., Paszowski, C.A., Boyce, M.S.
Endangered species are sensitive to the genetic effects of fragmentation, small population size, and inbreeding, so effective management requires a thorough understanding of their breeding systems and genetic diversity. The Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a lekking species that...

Sambaraju, Kishan R., Carroll, Allan L., Zhu, Jun, Stahl, Kerstin, Moore, R. Dan, Aukema, Brian H.
Climate change can markedly impact biology, population ecology, and spatial patterns of eruptive insects due to the direct influence of temperature on insect development and population success. The mountain pine beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a landscape-altering...

Bohlmann, Jörg, Bonnett, Tiffany R., Pitt, Caitlin, Keeling, Christopher I., Yuen, Macaire M. S., Huber, Dezene P. W., Robert, Jeanne A.
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, is a native species of bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) that caused unprecedented damage to the pine forests of British Columbia and other parts of western North America and is currently expanding its range into the boreal forests of...

Effect of age of the intermediate host Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera) on infection by Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda).
Download2008
A cross-sectional study of 27 cohorts of Tribolium confusum aged 2–78 wk was done to examine effects of host age on exposure to eggs of Hymenolepis diminuta under standardized conditions. Pre-exposure, fasting, and postexposure mortality were low, sex ratio was equal, and fecundity of hosts was...

Human food production activities can dominate natural systems, altering ecological and evolutionary aspects of the environment. Disease-mediated interactions are of particular concern. For example, parasites may "spill-over'' from farms to wildlife. Parasites isolated on farms can evolve...

Meghen, C. N., Platz, S. S., Hu, X. S., Moore, S. S., Simila, J., Plastow, G.
Estimating animal abundance in industrial scale batches of ground meat is important for mapping meat products through the manufacturing process and for effectively tracing the finished product during a food safety recall. The processing of ground beef involves a potentially large number of...
