Comparative tests of ectoparasite species richness in seabirds by Page Roderic DM, Hughes Joseph

“…We evaluated the relative importance of morphological (body size, body weight, wingspan, bill length), life-history (longevity, clutch size), ecological (population size, geographical range) and behavioural (diving versus non-diving) variables as predictors of louse diversity on 413 seabird hosts species. …”

Micro aerial vehicle with basic risk of operation by Alysson Nascimento de Lucena, Bruno Marques Ferreira da Silva, Luiz Marcos Garcia Gonçalves

“…Abstract We draw current efforts towards proposing a wing-type micro UAV with characteristics of being a basic operation risk self handled (Micro-Brosh) platform. Its micro-sized wingspan and weight, which are less than 0.30 m and 0.150 kg, respectively, guarantee the low risk to the operator and installations in case of crashing. …”
