Summary: The precise identification of mutualistic dinoflagellates is crucial for understanding their relationships with animals. By analyzing the genetic sequences of Cotylorhiza tuberculata specimens, two species of symbionts were identified, with one being common in all samples and the other occurring at lower abundance in many individuals. These findings contribute to a better understanding of these mutualistic relationships.

Summary: Damage on forests caused by red deer has been increasing in Central Europe. This study investigated the potential forage available for large wild herbivores and the actual consumption of tree bark by measuring tree characteristics and bark wounds. The results showed that common rowan and goat willow were heavily browsed, while Norway spruce and silver birch were not damaged, indicating that these two plant species could be important resources for large wild herbivores.

Summary: The web app presented in this study allows comprehensive analysis of COVID-19 impacts worldwide. By using a model and data input, the app can extract the effects of social distancing measures and other interventions in different phases of the epidemic in Israel, South Africa, and England.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel method for classifying and computing the frequencies of movement modes of intraspecific and interspecific dyads, considering factors such as distance, time of day, season, sex, and age. The method uses GPS relocation data to analyze locomotive interactions of dyads, providing automated, observer-bias-free analysis. Simulated data from a RM-BRW model and empirical data from African elephants in Namibia were used to demonstrate and validate the methodology.

Summary: This paper presents a hierarchical framework for studying animal movement-path segments at different spatiotemporal scales, allowing for comparative analysis and bridging the gap between behavior and mathematical concepts. It also proposes a process for generating a simulation model to test movement hypotheses and predict responses to management and global change.

Summary: Resource partitioning and behavioral mechanisms help carnivores reduce interference competition and promote their coexistence. Our study in semi-arid and wetland ecosystems shows that lions and hyenas share space with subtle differences in temporal activity patterns and habitat use. These findings enhance our understanding of interspecific interactions and adaptability in large carnivore communities.

Summary: The study investigated the initial outbreak rates and social distancing behavior during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in 29 Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) of the United States. It found that social distancing behavior may be more influential in epidemic control than the basic reproductive number R0 itself.

Summary: The study introduces methods for building a Java Runtime-Alterable-Model Platform (RAMP) of complex dynamical systems, exemplified by a multivariant SEIR (epidemic) RAMP. The RAMP allows easy modification of parameter values, process descriptions, and scriptable runtime drivers during simulations. Simulation results indicate that if waning immunity outpaces vaccination rates, vaccination rollouts may fail to contain the most transmissible variants.

Summary: Camera trapping for monitoring wildlife typically requires extensive data annotation. The authors propose a hybrid system of machine learning and humans in the loop, which minimizes annotation load, improves efficiency, and enables effective model updates.
