Amidst the Trees: Encountering the Arboreal in Late Antiquity
… antiquity understand both themselves and the arboreal world. A tactile relationship with trees shaped cultural, religious, and philosophical knowledge to such an extent that articulations of salvation, nature, pleasure, and identity can no longer be considered solely mental or anthropic. The …

Arboreal representations, sectional monodromy groups, and abelian varieties over finite fields
… three independent parts. The first part studies arboreal representations of Galois groups - an arithmetic dynamics analogue of Tate modules - and proves some large image results, in particular confirming a conjecture of Odoni. Given a field K, a separable polynomial [mathematical expression], and …

Ecology of Neotropical Arboreal Snakes and Behavior of New World Mollusk-Eating Snakes
… central Panama to explore the general ecology of arboreal snakes, the defensive behaviors of the snake community, and the diet of mollusk-eating snakes. I studied arboreal species to understand interspecilic relationships in several morphometric characters and to examine preferences in habitat. …

Comparative Toepad Morphology in Chorus Frogs (Genus Pseudacris): Arboreal, Terrestrial, and Ground Dwelling Species
Toepad morphology was examined in the arboreal Hyla chrysoscelis, semiarboreal Pseudacris crucifer, terrestrial P. triseriata, P. brachyphona, and P. brimleyi, semiaquatic Rana catesbiana, and fossorial Pseudacris streckeri and ornata, and Gastrophryne carolinensis, using scanning electron …

Influence of habitat complexity on diversity and community structure of arboreal spiders in grassland-shrub systems
… partitioning. In grasslands, much of the arboreal habitat is in the form of shrubs, but the role and importance of shrubs in distribution and diversity of arthropods in grasslands is unknown. Spiders are a useful indicator for examining the role of shrubs in arthropod ecology because they …

The effects of forest degradation on arboreal apes within Sikundur, the Gunung Leuser Ecosystem, Northern Sumatra.
… the potential impacts of forest degradation on arboreal primates within the study site. Chapter 2 assess the effects of forest structure on microclimates within tropical rainforest canopy, with detailed recording of temperatures within the canopy. Both data collection and microclimate modelling …

BRYOPHYTE ASSEMBLAGES ON AMERICAN HORNBEAM (CARPINUS CAROLINIANA) AND THE SURROUNDING ARBOREAL COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE FOREST OF EAST TEXAS
<p>The bryophytes, the non-vascular plants, include the mosses (Bryophyta with approximately 13,000 species), the liverworts (Marchantiophyta with approximately 5,000 species), and the hornworts (Anthocerotophyta with approximately 150 species). Initial observations indicated that the midstory tree …

Comportamento postural e locomotor ao escalar de sete espécies marsupiais (Didelphimorphia) da Mata Atlântica
The stratification of didelphids on the arboreal strata seem to be related to their body size, anatomical differences and resources partitioning. Researches on their arboreal ability are still lacking and they could reveal specifics behaviors. ln this study was investigated climbing gait on …

A Vegetative Analysis of Hercules Glades Wilderness
… primarily on the basis of physiography and arboreal vegetation. Though the "cedar glades" did generally group together in the ordination models, no sub-set reflecting Ecological Land Types was apparent for arboreal or understory species. However, within the limits of this study, the …

Heterogeneidade morfológica escapular e umeral em micromamíferos terrestres (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae): relações com as estratégias de uso dos habitats
… space evidenced three main class of variation: arboreal, scansorial and semiaquatic. The arboreal shows wide scapulas and articulation area with a robust humerus. The scapular spine is relatively high and the acromion is wide. A narrow scapula as well as a robust coracoid process and a …

Evolution of the Jaw Apparatus in Pythons
… broadly correspond with habitat preference (arboreal, semiarboreal, terrestrial). Arboreal/semiarboreal species have an elongate braincase that is widened anteriorly, and elongate quadrates and pterygoid bones, traits most pronounced in the most arboreal species, Morelia vividis. Terrestrial …

Enrichment Use & Social Interactions in a Mixed-Species Enclosure of Sumatran (Pongo abelij) & Bornean Orangutans (P. pygmaeus) & Northern White-Cheeked Gibbons (Nomascus leucogenys)
… species-typical behaviors, such as foraging and arboreality. Enrichment can include housing together multiple compatible species. Orangutans are sympatric with siamangs and agile and Bornean gibbons, so several zoos house these four Asian ape species in the same enclosure, in part, as social …

Bridging the gap: Biomechanics of vertical gap-crossing in snakes and cicadas
The ability to locomote through arboreal environments is essential for the animals which make those environments their home. An animal's ability to move among branches can depend on both environmental features, such as branch diameter or discontinuities in branch support, as well as the animals' …

Home Field Advantage: Sprint Sensitivity to Ecologically Relevant Substrates in Lizards
… species that occupy rocky, sandy, and/or semi-arboreal habitats. Lizards that use rocky habitats are less sensitive to changes in substrate rugosity, followed by arboreal lizards, and then by lizards that use sandy habitats. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that using rocks is highly correlated …

Group density estimates for lar gibbons (Hylobates lar) and siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus) and the quantitative analysis of the vegetative characteristics of the Sikundur field site.
… vertebrates and create critical problems for arboreal animals, such as gibbons and siamangs. Gibbons and siamangs!are arboreal primates, dependent on closed continuous canopies for feeding and travelling. Apart from information from the Sabangau Catchment in central Kalimantan, there is very …

Structure of a primate community in Reserve Adolpho Ducke, central Amazonia
… this study explored, how the new frontier of arboreal camera trap technology can be used to survey primates. Eleven camera traps were situated in the canopy for 91 days between January - April 2018 capturing 11,643 images and videos. 261 of these files had images and videos of detections …
