However, on islands where the risk is relatively low (e.g., closed habitats such as forest), signal partitioning may not be so strongly favored by selection, allowing lizards to be conspicuous on all body regions, possibly to enhance sexual communication.
The presence of the top predator near the lodge's grounds indicates the overall health of the forest, and signals its proximity to a pristine natural environment, like that of many other lodges in the region.
Both tropical rainforests and tropical dry forests occur in Hawaii and these forests offer clear signals of forest phenology and productivity response to tropical Pacific climate variations such as ENSO.
Abbott reiterated his commitment to strip World Heritage listing from 74,000 hectares of Tasmanian forest, and signalled displeasure at the extent of national parks in general, which cover almost 4% of Australia's land mass.
It appears that careful timing of the synoptic baseflow sampling under comparable phenological and hydrometeorological conditions increased our ability to identify a forest disturbance signal.
HMM: hidden Markov model; AA: amino acid; RF: random forest; SP: signal peptide; TM: transmembrane; TMH: transmembrane helix; ORF: open reading frame; OOB: out-of-bag error estimate.
Thus, reports on the status of forests give misleading signals about biological diversity when they include plantations in their estimates of forest cover but exclude forested areas in which humans live.
We are hardly 15 minutes into the picture when we get stomach-turning scenes of German officers presiding over a mass grave in a forest, one Wehrmacht signaller tapping away his encrypted messages.
"I've always been in the woods," Mr. Smith said one very hot day a few weeks ago as he bounded through the forest, following an electronic signal being emitted from a snake he calls Fast Frank.
