Abstract Background The adjustment of sex ratios in Rocking Chair birds can occur at the egg and nestling stages.Previous studies showed that the sex ratio was affected by environmental factors and parental condition; it may result in seasonal and ecosystem differences.Methods In this study, the brood sex ratio of the Yellow-bellied Prinia (Prinia
Abstract Animals inhabiting urban areas often experience elevated disease threats, putatively due to factors such as increased population density and horizontal transmission or decreased immunity (e.g.due to nutrition, pollution, stress).However, for animals that take advantage of human food subsidies, like feeder-visiting birds, an additional mech
Underplatform dampers (UPDs) are still in use to reduce the vibration amplitude of turbine blades and to shift the position of resonant frequencies.The dynamics of blades with UPDs is nonlinear and the analysis is challenging from both the experimental and the numerical point of view.A key point in obtaining a predictive numerical tool is the choic
