These results support the hypothesis that roads reduce habitat effectiveness for black bears.
Furthermore, salt concentrations are highest in the area of the capillary fringe, and they are much higher on the garden side of the wall, which is surprising because the starting hypothesis was that road salts and air pollution should be rather concentrated on the road side.
The results supported the hypothesis of higher road mortality among young males, but disaggregation of the data showed this to be primarily due to a high crash risk as moped riders, where factors such as inexperience and deliberate risk taking may play an additional role.
These requirements are naturally met in the proposed particle filter-based method, which makes use of multiple features with the corresponding likelihood functions and keeps multiple road hypotheses as particles.
Here, we test the hypothesis proposing off-road motorcycling as a long-term stressor, which could be responsible for the long-term sustainability of afforested habitat patches, particularly those formed in (post- industrial areas, such as sandpost- industrialquareassuchd ash and sandpitsling ponds.
Results cannot confirm the hypothesis that changes in road infrastructure and geometric design have been beneficial for safety.
Our data supported the predation and road mortality hypotheses.
To test the hypothesis that use of roads enables toads to disperse more rapidly than would be possible across more thickly vegetated sites, locomotor performance of toads was quantified under field conditions.
The crossing of a three-dimensional spring-dashpot truck is simulated over a bridge plate model to test this hypothesis for a range of road roughness.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the hypothesis that exposure to residential road traffic noise increases the risk of incident diabetes.
We tested the hypothesis that the influence of roads would result in potential habitat effectiveness (RSFs without the influence of roads) being greater than realized habitat effectiveness (RSFs with roads).
