Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...

When hearing the bark helps to identify the dog: Semantically-congruent sounds modulate the identification of masked pictures

open access: yesCognition, 2010
We report a series of experiments designed to assess the effect of audiovisual semantic congruency on the identification of visually-presented pictures. Participants made unspeeded identification responses concerning a series of briefly-presented, and then rapidly-masked, pictures.

Improving enteral nutrition in patients requiring neurological intensive care unit care: A retrospective study on a novel bedside nasointestinal tube placement technique

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.

Invasive Bark Beetles (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) in Chile and Argentina, Including Two Species New for South America, and the Correct Identity of the Orthotomicus Species in Chile and Argentina

open access: yesDiversity, 2018
The rate of establishment of non-native bark beetle species is accelerating in many parts of the world and is considered a serious threat to forests and forest crops. Distributional data for exotic bark beetles are urgently needed, but they must be based

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

A Population Genetic Model of Evolution of Host-Mate Attraction and Nonhost Repulsion in a Bark Beetle Pityogenes bidentatus

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Studies have shown that the bark beetle Pityogenes bidentatus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) avoids volatiles of nonhost trees (Norway Spruce, birch, and oak) and healthy host Scotch Pine when orienting to aggregation pheromone.
