Parent-offspring recognition can be essential for offspring survival and important to avoid misdirected parental care when progeny mingle in large social groups. In ungulates, offspring antipredator strategies (hiding vs. following) result in differences in mother-offspring interactions, and thus different selection pressures acting on the recognition process during the first weeks of life. Hider offspring are isolated and relatively stationary and silent to avoid detection by predators, whereas follower offspring are mobile and rapidly mix in large social groups. For these reasons, hiders have been suggested to show low offspring call individuality leading to unidirectional recognition of mothers by offspring and followers high offspring call individuality and mutual recognition. We hypothesised that similar differences would exist in hider species between the hiding phase (i.e. unidirectional recognition) and the phase when offspring join social groups (i.e. mutual recognition). We tested these predictions with goats (Capra hircus), a hider species characterised by strong mother-offspring attachment. We compared the individuality of kid and mother calls, and the vocal recognition ability, during the early phase of life when kids are usually hidden and later when kids have typically joined social groups. Contrary to our predictions, we found that both kids and mothers had individualised contact calls and that mutual recognition existed even during the hiding phase. The large differences in the duration of the hiding phase and in the rate of mother-offspring interactions (possibly partially driven by domestication in some species) probably cause variations among hider species in the mother-offspring recognition process.
hider-finder competition for air defense. The challenges of air defense exceed these independent difficulties. Detecting incoming targets while avoiding detection also depends on the skills and capabilities of the adversary: the infrastructural, organizational, and technological capabilities of the enemy, as well as the proficiency of its personnel. To accomplish its goal, air defense requires specific tactics, procedures, techniques, technologies, operational planning, and supporting assets and capabilities to successfully intercept intruders, while simultaneously preventing the enemy from detecting, degrading, and destroying its own assets.
hider-finder competition for air penetration. In addition to these independent constraints, the challenge of air penetration is a function of an enemy's air defenses: the capabilities and sophistication of the available technologies and assets as well as the proficiency of personnel operating them. To penetrate the air space of a country that possesses limited air defenses, such as antiaircraft guns and man-portable air defense systems, an air force will need to fly just beyond their maximum altitude reach.78 In this scenario, air penetration still requires significant infrastructural support in terms of intelligence gathering and processing, target acquisition, and mission planning, as well as communications.79 But degrading and destroying enemy air defenses might not even be necessary.80
The Flash Hider-QD 556 is compatible with HX-QD series (556k, 556, 762, 762 Ti and Magnum Ti) and FLOW series (556k and 762 Ti) suppressors. This flash hider is only compatible with VENTUM series suppressors when combined with the HUX HUB Adapter.
