Ecosystem functions and services are severely threatened by unprecedented global loss in biodiversity. To counteract these trends, it is essential to develop systems to monitor changes in biodiversity for planning, evaluating, and implementing conservation and mitigation actions. However, the implementation of monitoring systems suffers from a trade-off between grain (i.

Materials And Methods: We searched four databases for literature. The primary outcome assessed was the success rate.
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.

Background: Data regarding the inter- and intraobserver variability in the radiological assessment of sialolithiasis using cone beam computed tomography are missing in the current literature. This study assessed the inter- and intraobserver variability in the radiological assessment of sialolithiasis using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material And Methods: In 107 patients, 130 salivary glands (65 parotid and 65 submandibular) with clinical signs of obstruction were assessed by four independent observers; 2 residents OMFS and 2 experienced OMFS.
