OBJECTIVES This study aimed first, to investigate the relation between forgivingness and depressive symptoms in elderly individuals and second, to explore whether the developmental task of integrity/despair is a possible underlying process in this relation. Both aims were studied in a sample of community-dwelling elderly individuals as well as in a sample of residential elderly individuals. M...

Food availability and acquisition are critical components of a stopover site’s suitability, but we know relatively little about how changes in food availability affect the stopover ecology of migrating landbirds. we examined fruit and arthropod availability in three habitats, studied foraging behavior and diet, and investigated use versus availability for passerines migrating through southweste...

Many aspects of cave animal biology cannot be understood through field observations alone. Access to some subterranean habitats is often technically challenging, rendering long-term monitoring cave-dwelling species or investigating their difficult. Also, contemporary research questions and methods require sampling individuals at certain life stages, most adapted have lengthy spans are not acces...
