Sentence examples for cwd selection from inspiring English sources

Silviculture likely affects the probability of CWD selection for both species.

For bears, the high variance in the clearcut ID random factor could be from a CWD selection process that is grouped at the clearcut level.

Likewise, our bear models detected an increasing trend in CWD selection (if galleries were present); top right panel in Fig. 3) with increasing clearcut age, a pattern seen in both the observed and simulated data (Fig. 4), lending confidence to our model results.

Nevertheless, the social organization of brown bears may influence clearcut and CWD selection, as brown bears show spatiotemporal segregation, depending on season and social status in North America (e.g. Wielgus and Bunnell, 1994; McLoughlin et al., 2002; Rode et al., 2006) and in Scandinavia (Steyaert et al., 2013).

The CWD extract was used to simulate CWD leachates (with rainwater as a control) that are produced in the field.

Biochemical comparison of glycoform patterns among CWD, SM-CWD, and SMP2-CWD were made by using 3 different anti-PrP antibodies (L42, 6H4, and 3F4) (Technical Appendix).

Therefore, we explored which environmental variables best explained the presence-absence of carpenter ants in CWD and the selection of CWD by brown bears within a hierarchical framework of predictors.

Bear selection of CWD was much higher in CWD with galleries, irrespective of clearcut age and CWD circumference, with little to no selection on CWD without galleries (Fig. 3).

Important predictors of bear selection of CWD paralleled those of carpenter ant selection of CWD (i.e., clearcut age compared with CWD hardness, and circumference and volume remaining the same) with one crucial difference, the availability of ants.

Bear selection of CWD was also significantly influenced by CWD circumference and not by volume (Fig. 2), with a positive relationship between the probability of bear sign and CWD circumference (Fig. 3).

In general, brown bear selection on CWD followed carpenter ant selection patterns on CWD inside and outside clearcuts.
