Spacing and kinship of the Formosan squirrel, Callosciurus erythraeus thaiwanensis, were studied in two different habitats. One, native habitat in the woods of Kenting, southern Formosa, was rich in available food throughout the year and had several species of predators. The other, a site in Kamakura, central Japan where squirrels had been introduced, had relatively scanty food and few potential predators. 1. Home ranges among males and between sexes overlapped extensively in both habitats. 2. Females occupied exclusive home ranges in Kamakura but had small overlapping home ranges in Ken-ting. 3. Most males disappeared from their natal areas at 1 year old in both habitats (86% in Kamakura and 93% in Ken-ting), but less females disappeared (36% in Kamakura and 35% in Ken-ting). 4. In Kamakura, daughters settled adjacent to the mother or inherited the home range of the mother, but never shared the mother's home range. In Ken-ting, 35% of daughters shared the home range with their mothers. 5. Tolerance among female kin in Ken-ting was probably facilitated by the richness of available food throughout the year, and functioned to reduce predation risk via alarm calling and mobbing.

A wristband-type PPG heart rate sensor capable of overcoming motion artifacts in daily activity and detecting heart rate variability has been developed together with a motion artifact cancellation framework. In this work, a motion artifact model in daily life was derived and motion artifacts caused by activity of arm, finger, and wrist were cancelled significantly. Highly reliable instant heart rate detection with high noiseresistance was achieved from noise-reduced pulse signals based on peak-detection and autocorrelation methods. The wristband-type PPG heart rate sensor with our motion artifact cancellation framework was compared with ECG instant heart rate measurement in both laboratory and office environments. In a laboratory environment, mean reliability (percentage of time within 10% error relative to ECG instant heart rate) was 86.5% and the one-day pulse-accuracy achievement rate based on time use data of body motions in daily life was 88.1% or approximately 21 hours. Our device and motion artifact cancellation framework enable continuous heart rate variability monitoring in daily life and could be applied to heart rate variability analysis and emotion recognition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
