Article Synopsis
- Habitat selection in animals is influenced by behaviors like foraging, predator avoidance, and thermoregulation, and Step-Selection Functions (SSFs) can assess these fine-scale selections based on animal movements and environmental conditions.
- Using a case study of muskoxen, researchers explored how defining behavior-specific availability domains and fitting separate models affects model structure, estimated selection coefficients, and predictive performance.
- Findings revealed that incorporating behavior into availability domains mostly altered model structure, while separate behavior-specific models affected selection strength, improving predictive performance for foraging and relocating but not for resting behaviors.
In this study, we hypothesised that the actual development stage (i.e., current age of the ecosystem) is a determining factor for the magnitude of methane production and emissions in young, northern high-latitude peatlands.

We assess the progressive migration of phase singularities and explain the predicted increase in fractional orbital angular momentum content of the beam in terms of this gradual process.

We discuss the single gradient force trapping of water aerosols in the 2-14 micron diameter range using both 532 nm and 1064 nm light, as well as the holographic optical trapping of arrays of aerosols. Using this holographic technique, we are able to show controlled aerosol coagulation.
