Concepts

Proportion of individuals in a population showing signs of pathogen infection

A small chemical modification that occurs in most cytosines that are followed by a guanine (CpGs) in mammalian genomes, serving as an epigenetic marker.

A method using living organisms to determine what chemicals or nutrients are present in soil by measuring growth responses

Precisely-timed seasonal cycles of reproduction fundamental to animal populations adapting to northern and montane environments

Relative number of small mammals detected through camera trap monitoring expressed as activity indices

Approach to compare genome features across multiple species to identify conserved and variable elements.

Reproductive strategy where organisms reproduce multiple times throughout their lifetime

Sampling methods that do not require capturing or handling animals, such as hair tube traps that collect hair samples

Successful production of larvae that develop to feeding stage on buried carcasses

Sound production in insects by rubbing body parts together, in burying beetles occurs when plectrum on elytra rubs against par stridens on abdomen

Major histocompatibility complex genes involved in antigen presentation and immune response
