Landscape and edge effects on the distribution of mammalian predators in Missouri
Article Abstract:
Agricultural lands and edges are valuable to raccoons in both landscape and local scales. This research, undertaken on 25 scent-station routes across Missouri, investigated the connection between landscape composition, structure and latitude and the relative abundance of raccoons, striped skunks and opossums. At a landscape scale, raccoons were more abundant in agricultural landscapes with high densities of streams than in forested landscapes with low densities of streams. It was possible to identify potentially significant relationships between relative abundance of predators and forest edges.

Individual identification and distribution of genotypic differences between individuals
Article Abstract:
Estimating the mismatch distributions in a population will be useful for geneticists to design a study with genotypic discrimination they desire, irrespective of any approach being used. A computer program MM-DIST, is discussed to compute mismatch distribution for empirical data sets.
