Effects of human activity on space use and movement patterns of female Elk by Stephen L. Webb, Matthew R. Dzialak, Seth M. Harju, Larry D. Hayden‐Wing, Jeffrey B. Winstead

“…We analyzed data on 145 female elk fitted with global positioning system collars. While controlling for elevation, slope, and distance to anthropogenic features and vegetative cover, we found that proximity to the gas field generally was associated with smaller home ranges, more complex movement paths (i.e., greater tortuosity) and longer distance moved over a 3‐hr period (during most seasons). …”

Aperture Field Anisotropy Control on Immiscible Displacement Patterns in Rough Fractures by Kun Xing, Xiaoqing Shi, Zhibing Yang, Xueyuan Kang, Siyuan Qiang, Jichun Wu

“…Furthermore, we modified theoretical models of CaCF‐CZ and CaCZ‐CD by incorporating the aperture anisotropy factor, achieving a good fit with the experimental data. This study demonstrates the critical role of aperture field anisotropy in controlling two‐phase displacement patterns and provides a theoretical framework for predicting multiphase flow behavior in natural fractures.…”

Biodiversity Patterns and Community Construction in Subtropical Forests Driven by Species Phylogenetic Environments by Pengcheng Liu, Jiejie Jiao, Chuping Wu, Weizhong Shao, Xuesong Liu, Liangjin Yao

“…Research has found that (1) the deciduous broad-leaved forest had the highest species diversity (Margalef index of 4.121 ± 1.425) and phylogenetic diversity (PD index of 21.265 ± 7.796), significantly higher than the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest and the Chinese fir plantation (<i>p</i> < 0.05); (2) there is a significant positive correlation between species richness and phylogenetic diversity, with the best fit being AIC = 70.5636 and R² = 0.9419 in broad-leaved forests; however, the contribution of evenness is limited; (3) the specific effects of soil factors on different forest types: available phosphorus (AP) is negatively correlated with the diversity of deciduous broad-leaved forests (<i>p</i> < 0.05), total phosphorus (TP) promotes the diversity of coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, while the diversity of Chinese fir plantations is significantly negatively correlated with total nitrogen (TN); (4) the phylogenetic structure of three different forest types shows a divergent pattern in deciduous broad-leaved forests, indicating that competition and exclusion dominate the construction of deciduous broad-leaved forests; the aggregation mode of Chinese fir plantation indicates that environmental filtering dominates the construction of Chinese fir plantation; the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest is a transitional model, indicating that the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest is influenced by both stochastic processes and ecological niche processes. …”

The Main Patterns in the Trend Change of Stomach Cancer Incidence amongst Selected African Countries by Fahimeh Shokouhi, Aida Amiripour, Hadi Raeisi Shahraki

“…The growth mixture model was used for fitting the models in Mplus 7.4. The estimated linear trend in each pattern was characterized by intercept (the rate at 1990) and slope (the observed biennial trend changes), and finally, each country was grouped into a cluster with the most similar pattern. …”
