Influence of group size on the success of wolves hunting bison.

An intriguing aspect of social foraging behaviour is that large groups are often no better at capturing prey than are small groups, a pattern that has been attributed to diminished cooperation (i.e., free riding) in large groups.Although this suggests the formation of large groups is unrelated to prey capture, little is known about cooperation in l

Bounded and categorized: targeting data assimilation for sea ice fractional coverage and nonnegative quantities in a single-column multi-category sea ice model

A rigorous exploration of the sea ice data assimilation (DA) problem using a framework specifically developed for rapid, interpretable hypothesis testing is presented.In many applications, 30x24x24 wall cabinet DA is implemented to constrain a modeled estimate of a state with observations.The sea ice DA application is complicated by the wide range
