USING GEOLOCATOR TRACKING DATA AND RINGING ARCHIVES TO VALIDATE CITIZEN-SCIENCE BASED SEASONAL PREDICTIONS OF BIRD DISTRIBUTION IN A DATA-POOR REGION

Using geolocator tracking data and ringing archives to validate citizen-science based seasonal predictions of bird distribution in a data-poor region

Unstructured citizen-science data are increasingly used for analysing the abundance and distribution of species.Here we test the usefulness of such data to predict the seasonal distribution of migratory songbirds, and to analyse patterns of migratory connectivity.We used bird occurrence data from eBird, one of the largest global citizen science dat

Factors influencing the determination of cell traction forces.

Methods summarized by the term Traction Force Microscopy are widely used to quantify cellular forces in mechanobiological studies.These methods are inverse, in the sense that forces must be determined such that they comply with a measured displacement field.This study investigates how several experimental and analytical factors, originating in the
