NEST STRUCTURE, INCUBATION AND HATCHING IN THE TRINIDADIAN LEAF-FROG PHYLLOMEDUSA TRINITATIS (ANURA: HYLIDAE)

Nest structure, incubation and hatching in the Trinidadian leaf-frog Phyllomedusa trinitatis (Anura: Hylidae)

New findings on nesting and hatching are reported for the leaf-nesting tree frog Phyllomedusa trinitatis.Nest height and leaf cover (one or many leaves; well or poorly covered) were very variable.Contrary to a previous report, eggless jelly capsules were scattered amongst the eggs, with substantial jelly plugs located above and below the egg clutch

A Persistent Scatterer Point Selection Method for Deformation Monitoring of Under-Construction Cross-Sea Bridges Using Statistical Theory and GMM-EM Algorithm

Using traditional algorithms to identify persistent scatterer (PS) points is challenging during bridge construction because of short-term changes at construction Kimono sites, such as earthworks, as well as the erection and dismantling of temporary structures.To address this issue, this study proposes a PS point selection method based on statistica
