No full textAn article about the life and work of Ethelwyn Wetherald printed in The Challenge. The article discusses that she not only wrote about nature, but also emotion and life. The author mentions "Sir Wilfrid Laurier was one of her many admirers and in one of his speeches in the House of Commons, he quoted her poem, 'My Orders'. 'My orders are to fight. Then if I bleed, or fail, Or strongly win, what matters it? God only doth prevail. The servant craveth naught Except to serve with might. I was not told to win or lose - My orders are to fight'".

Estimating demographic parameters for capture-recapture data in the presence of multiple mark types
No full textIn mark-recapture studies, various techniques can be used to uniquely identify individual animals, such as ringing, tagging or photo-identification using natural markings. In some long-term studies more than one type of marking procedure may be implemented during the study period. In these circumstances, ignoring the different mark types can produce biased survival estimates since the assumption that the different mark types are equally catchable (homogeneous capture probability across mark types) may be incorrect.We implement an integrated approach where we simultaneously analyse data obtained using three different marking techniques, assuming that animals can be cross-classified across the different mark types. We discriminate between competing models using the AIC statistic. This technique also allows us to estimate both relative mark-loss probabilities and relative recapture efficiency rates for the different marking methods.We initially perform a simulation study to explore the different biases that can be introduced if we assume a homogeneous recapture probability over mark type, before applying the method to a real dataset. We make use of data obtained from an intensive long-term observational study of UK female grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) at a single breeding colony, where three different methods are used to identify individuals within a single study: branding, tagging and photo-identification based on seal coat pattern or pelage.Peer reviewe

Communication invitée du thèmeLa lignée néandertalienne : connaissances actuelles et nouvelles perspectivesInsights into Neanderthal mortuary behaviour from Shanidar Cave, Iraqi Kurdistan: An update
No full textThe skeletal remains of 10 Neanderthal men, women and children found by Ralph Solecki’s team at Shanidar Cave (Iraqi Kurdistan) between 1951 and 1960 have played a major role in debates concerning our understanding of Neanderthal morphology and behaviour. Shanidar 1’s multiple injuries and physical impairments, and Shanidar 3’s projectile wound, have been interpreted as evidence for Neanderthal compassion, while the famous ‘Flower burial’ (Shanidar 4) fuelled debates regarding Neanderthal ca..
