Reducing sitting time is essential for preserving sarcopenia and functional independence with aging: a comparative cross-sectional study
This study demonstrated that greater sitting time was associated with poorer sarcopenia-related outcomes and reduced functional independence among community-dwelling older adults, independent of age and sex. The principal findings were threefold. First, prolonged sitting time was associated with adverse demographic and health profiles, including older age, greater chronic disease, and reduced skeletal muscle mass.
Estimating density of native carnivores in central Chile landscapes using a simulated movement model, cameratrapR: insights on their potential exotic prey dietary subsidy
Species-specific density is an essential parameter for evaluating population stability and ecosystem health both intra and extra guild (Elkinton, 2000). The resource dispersion hypothesis predicts that animal density increases and home range size decreases as resource concentration increases, and may help to explain how carnivores are distributed in environments with a natural gradient (Johnson et al., 2002). Crop farming areas may offer certain carnivore species alternative food sources.
Bighorn sheep associations: understanding tradeoffs of sociality and implications for disease transmission
Conclusion Our study assesses social behavior of a wild, native, and large population of bighorn at the population, group, dyad, and individual scales. Using this unique 10-year GPS dataset of both male and female bighorn, we assessed social behavior among three dyad types–male-only, female-only, and male–female dyads–and modeled when, where, and with whom bighorn interact at close distances.
Quantifying the effects of delisting wolves after the first state began lethal management
Introduction Wolves and their protection are controversial worldwide and across the U.S. (Bruskotter et al., 2018; Manfredo et al., 2020; Treves & Martin, 2011; Chapron et al., 2014; Dressel, Sandström & Ericsson, 2014). The U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) aims to remove listed species (delist) from federal protection once recovered but contingent on adequate regulations in subnational jurisdictions to keep them off the federal list.
