Attraction points: A new sampling design method to quantify common finches’ population by Lorenzo Marazuela Pinela, Ángel Julián Martín Fernández, Pablo-Luis López-Espí

“…Existing methodologies for monitoring bird populations primarily focus on their presence, habitat, physical and health characteristics, and, more comprehensively, their abundance and trends in breeding season. Due to the fact that these methodologies do not use unbiased statistical estimators, the accurate estimation of bird densities or obtaining measures of abundance is often based on indirect counts, such as, detection probability versus distance, or assumptions, such as the homogeneous distribution of all individuals, which are then correlated with bird density. …”

Regional nutrient emissions and hydrological regime modulate the spatiotemporal patterns of nutrient levels within lake bay by Qiqi Yuan, Zhihui Ren, Ruidong Chen, Qingji Zhang, Jinsong Ma, Lachun Wang

“…Scenario simulations indicated that a 30 % reduction in nutrient emissions led to a corresponding decrease in TN and TP loads in the lake bays, with more significant reductions observed during the dry season (TN: 3.05 %; TP: 9.51 %). A 12 % reduction in river discharge during the dry season resulted in a corresponding decrease in TN and TP loads in the lake bays, with the reduction in TP (1.81 %) greater than that of TN (1.39 %). …”

Monthly Runoff Forecasting Model Based on Electrostatic DischargeAlgorithm-Mixed Kernel SVM and Its Application by LI Xiangrong

“…In order to improve the accuracy of hydrological forecasting, this paper establishes a support vector machine (SVM) based on the mixture of polynomial kernel and Gauss kernel, optimizes the key parameters and the mixed weight coefficients of mixed kernel SVM by the electrostatic discharge algorithm (ESDA), proposes a monthly runoff forecasting model in dry season based on mixed kernel ESDA-SVM, builds the Gauss kernel ESDA-SVM, polynomial kernel ESDA-SVM and ESDA-BP, as contrast forecasting models, as well as conducts the forecasting through the models with the data of the first 24 years and the last 10 years, taking the monthly runoff forecasting of a hydrological station in Yunnan from January to April in dry season as an example. …”

Hypothesis: glyphosate-based herbicides can increase risk of hematopoietic malignancies through extended persistence in bone by Charles M. Benbrook

“…Abstract Despite episodic and variable patterns of exposure, the levels of glyphosate (GLY) detected in the urine of herbicide applicators and the general public are relatively stable across space (urban vs. rural) and time (weed spray season, not spray season). Substantial GLY metabolism data show that within minutes of entering the bloodstream, GLY moves into bone marrow, and then laterally through bone tissue and back into general circulation. …”
