Abstract:

Abstract Accurately determining gas-phase metal abundances within galaxies is critical as metals strongly affect the physics of the interstellar medium. To date, the vast majority of widely used gas-phase abundance indicators rely on emission from bright optical lines, whose emissivities are highly sensitive to the electron temperature. Alternatively, direct-abundance methods exist that measure the temperature of the emitting gas directly, though these methods usually require challenging observations of highly excited auroral lines. Low-lying far-infrared (FIR) fine structure lines are largely

Abstract. This study examined the carnivore species composition and abundance in the Janos-Nuevo Casas Grandes prairie dog complex of north-western Chihuahua, Mexico. Thirteen species of carnivores were recorded in habitats including prairie dog towns, grassland, mesquite scrub and riparian vegetation. From artificial scent-stations and spotlight transects the most abundant carnivore species appeared to be the kit fox Vulpes macrotis and the coyote Canis latrans. Striped/hooded skunks (Mephitis spp) and American badgers (Taxidea taxus) were also common. No significant differences were found be

Abstract:

Shark abundances are decreasing on many coral reefs, but the ecosystem effects of this loss are poorly understood. Rays are a prevalent mesopredator in tropical coral reef ecosystems that are preyed upon by top predators like sharks. Studies have suggested reduced predator abundances lead to increases in mesopredator abundance (mesopredator release). We examined the relationship between top predator abundances and the abundance and behaviour of 2 small benthic ray genera using baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVS) across 6 countries. Where predators were more abundant, 2 genera of sma

Abstract:

Concerns have been raised about the use of relative abundance data derived from next generation sequencing as a proxy for absolute abundances. For example, in the differential abundance setting, compositional effects in relative abundance data may give rise to spurious differences (false positives) when considered from the absolute perspective. In practice however, relative abundances are often transformed by renormalization strategies intended to compensate for these effects and the scope of the practical problem remains unclear. We used simulated data to explore the consistency of differenti

Using theoretical models of the planetary nebula populations in galaxies, we investigate whether the current oxygen abundances in bright planetary nebulae can be used to predict the oxygen abundance that persisted in the interstellar medium when star formation stopped.

Abstract Abundances of manganese and gallium are derived in LTE for the B9 Mn P Ga star HD 144844 using the Mn ii lines at 4206.37 and 4259.19 Å and the Ga ii line at 6334.07 Å including hyperfine spliting and nuclear shifts. Both elements are found to be overabundant, about 7–10 times the manganese abundance, depending on the line of Mn ii used, and about 1800 times the solar gallium abundance. The synthesis of three Fe ii lines at 4258.15, 4273.33 and 4296.57 Å yields an abundance of iron marginally above the solar iron abundance.

Abstract:

AbstractSulfur abundances are derived for a sample of ten B MS star members of the Orion association. The analysis is based on LTE model atmospheres and non-LTE line formation theory by means of spectrum synthesis analysis of Sii and Siii lines. The abundance distribution obtained for the Orion targets is homogeneous within the errors in the analysis: A(S)=7.15±0.05. This abundance result is in agreement with the solar value and with results for the Orion nebula. The sulfur abundances for Orion combined with previous results for other OB-type stars produce a relatively shallow sulfur abundance

Frugivorous birds play an important role in parasitic mistletoe transmission among host species. The foraging behaviour and host selection of Psittacanthus schiedeanus mistletoe fruit-eating birds was studied in cloud forest remnants in Central Veracruz, México. Cedar waxwings, Bombycilla cedrorum, gray silky-flycatchers, Ptilogonys cinereus, and social flycatchers, Myiozetetes similis, eating ripe whole mistletoe fruits and defecating or regurgitating the seeds were observed. That variation in host species selection by frugivorous birds had a direct effect on mistletoe dispersion was hypothes

AbstractWe performed a 1D LTE chemical abundance analysis of an extremely metal-poor star BD+44°493 ([Fe/H]= −3.7), and set a very low upper limit for its Be abundance: A(Be) < −2.0. It may indicate that the decreasing trend of Be abundances with lower [Fe/H] still holds at [Fe/H] < −3.5, and demonstrate that high C and O abundances do not necessarily imply high Be abundances. However, since the star is a subgiant with Teff ~ 5500K, Be may be depleted.

We present S/O, Cl/O, and Ar/O abundance ratios for 45 predominantly Type II southern PNe. These abundances are based upon line strengths from newly acquired spectrophotometry covering an extended optical range from 3600 - 9600 Å. The following average abundance ratios were obtained from this sample: S/O=0.011±0.0064, Cl/O=0.00031±0.00012, and Ar/O=0.0051±0.0020. This study, together with a sample of northern PNe, is aimed at producing a large homogeneous set of observations and abundances. Specifically, we are addressing the lack of homogeneously observed, reduced, and analyzed data sets that

Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular CloudS (GEMS) is an IRAM 30m Large Program aimed at determining the elemental abundances of carbon (C), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and sulphur (S) in a selected set of prototypical star forming filaments. Elemental abundances have a key role in the star formation process by driving the gas cooling rate and the gas ionization degree. Defining elemental abundance as the amount of a given atom in volatiles, the elemental abundances of C, O, and N in the interstellar medium are currently known within a factor of a few.

ABSTRACT We present the abundance analyses of seven carbon enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars to understand the origin of carbon in them. We used high-resolution optical spectra to derive abundances of various elements. We also used low-resolution near-infrared (NIR) spectra to derive the abundance of O and 12C/13C from the CO molecular band and compared their values with those derived from high-resolution optical spectra. We identified a good agreement between the values. Thus, in cool CEMP stars, the NIR observations complement the high-resolution optical observations to derive the oxygen abun

Abstract The ages of the oldest stars shed light on the birth, chemical enrichment, and chemical evolution of the universe. Nucleocosmochronometry provides an avenue to determining the ages of these stars independent from stellar-evolution models. The uranium abundance, which can be determined for metal-poor r-process enhanced (RPE) stars, has been known to constitute one of the most robust chronometers known. So far, U abundance determination has used a single U ii line at λ3859 Å. Consequently, U abundance has been reliably determined for only five RPE stars. Here, we present the first homog

In plant ecology it is common to use biophysical models to predict species distribution; however, spatial quantitative models of plant species remain rare. In practice, occupancy models are often assumed to indicate habitant quality and are used as surrogate abundance models. This study assessed the potential value of quantitative models of plants for ecosystem management applications by assessing patterns of occupancy and abundance within two closely related understorey plant species, Xanthorrhoea australis and X. caespitosa.

Intraguild interactions influence the structure and local dynamics of carnivore mammals’ assemblages.

The relative importance of interspecific interactions along with landscape characteristics in determining population patterns of understudied and threatened sympatric small carnivores, such as skunks, remains poorly documented.

Abstract:

Infection thresholds, widely used in disease epidemiology, may operate on host abundance and, if present, on vector abundance. For wildlife populations, host and vector abundances often vary greatly across years and consequently the threshold may be crossed regularly, both up- and downward. Moreover, vector and host abundances may be interdependent, which may affect the infection dynamics. Theory predicts that if the relevant abundance, or combination of abundances, is above the threshold, then the infection is able to spread; if not, it is bound to fade out.

The use CCD detectors has allowed a major progress in abundance derivations for globular cluster stars in the last years. Abundances deduced from high dispersion spectra now correlates well with other abundance indicators. I discuss some problems concerning the derivation of accurate metal abundances for globular clusters using high dispersion spectra from both the old photographic and the most recent CCD data. The discrepant low abundances found by Cohen (1980), from photographic material for M71 giants, are found to be due to the use of too high microturbulences.

We have collected a large sample of 2831 published H ii region emission-line fluxes in 51 nearby galaxies, including objects both with and without the presence of a bar, with the aim of revisiting the issue of whether bars affect the radial metal distribution in spirals. In this first paper of a series of two, we present the galaxy and the H ii region samples. T
