Effects of gastrointestinal parasites on fecal glucocorticoids and behaviour in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus). by Pooja Upadhayay, Colin A Chapman, Gabriela F Mastromonaco, Valerie A M Schoof

“…Parasites can influence host hormonal microenvironment and behaviour through "sickness behaviours" that generally conserve energy. Using a parasite removal experiment, we examined the effects of gastrointestinal parasites on fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGC) and behaviours of vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda. …”

Multiwavelength Variability Analysis of the Blazar PKS 0727-11: An ~ 168 day Quasiperiodic Oscillation in the γ-Ray by Yuncai Shen, Tingfeng Yi, Vinit Dhiman, Lisheng Mao, Liang Dong

“…We performed variability analysis of the multiwavelength light curves (LCs) for the flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 0727-11. Using the generalized Lomb–Scargle periodogram, we identified a possible quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) of ~168.6 days (persisted for six cycles, with a significance of 3.8 σ ) in the γ -ray LC during the flare period (MJD 54687–55738). …”

The Poisson Extension of the Unrelated Question Model: Improving Surveys With Time-Constrained Questions on Sensitive Topics by Benedikt Iberl, Anesa Aljovic, Rolf Ulrich, Fabiola Reiber

“…While prevalence estimates differ greatly between the UQMP and the standard Poisson model, the results of both models indicate a high rate of drinking and driving among those German traffic participants who generally engage in this behavior. The difference between prevalence estimates might be explainable by problems of the UQMs’ validity; we discuss possible causes for these problems, and why the UQMP or similar approaches can be valuable nonetheless. …”
