Examination of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) collected from several locations in North America contributed new information concerning the acanthocephalan fauna of this host. Representatives of Arythmorhynchus brevis, representing a new host record, were collected from eagles in Florida, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. Plagiorhynchus sp. was collected from an eagle in Florida. Corynosoma ...

Species ranges often change in relation to multiple environmental and demographic factors. Innovative behaviors may affect these changes by facilitating the use of novel habitats, although this idea has been little explored. Here, we investigate the importance of behavior during range change, using a 25-year population expansion of Bonelli's eagle in southern Portugal. This unique population is...

PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate the prevalence, morphology, and calcification pattern of the elongated styloid process in the Mathura population and its relation to gender, age, and mandibular movements. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study analyzed digital panoramic radiographs of 2,706 adults. The elongated styloid process was classified with the radiographic appearance based on ...

Habitat loss and fragmentation intensify the effects of genetic drift and endogamy, reducing genetic variability of populations with serious consequences for wildlife conservation. The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) is a forest dwelling species that is considered near threatened and suffers from habitat loss in the forests of the Neotropical region. In this study, 72 historical and current sample...

EAGLE is a very powerful logic for expressing behavioral properties about systems that evolve over time. Specifically, the logic can be used to monitor the execution of computer programs. EAGLE is an extension of propositional logic with three temporal kernel operators, with recursion, and with parameterization over formulas in the logic as well as over data values. Formula parameterization all...

Eagle was introduced as a general purpose rule-based temporal logic for specifying run-time monitors. A novel and relatively efficient interpretative trace-checking scheme via stepwise transformation of an Eagle monitoring formula was defined and implemented. However, application in real-world examples has shown efficiency weaknesses, especially those associated with large-scale symbolic formul...
