, 2018 Bat flies (Streblidae) are diverse, obligate blood-feeding insects and probably the most conspicuous ectoparasites of bats. They show preferences for specific body regions on their host bat, which are reflected in behavioural characteristics.

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.This 2.5‐year follow‐up of the VIA Family trial found no significant long‐term differences between a family‐based preventive program and treatment as usual in child mental health, global functioning, or home environment. Results emphasize the difficulty of achieving lasting benefits in heterogeneous high‐risk families.

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

A Lévy Flight Based BAT Optimization Algorithm for Block-based Image Compression
Tehnički Glasnik, 2022 Many metaheuristics have been adopted to solve the codebook generation problem in image processing. In this paper, the Bat algorithm is combined by the Lévy flight distribution to find out the global optimum codebook.

Post‐release tracking to monitor success of black cockatoo rehabilitation in Western Australia
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Post‐release tracking of rehabilitated black cockatoos in Western Australia showed high success (79.4%), with survival, self‐feeding, and flock reintegration achieved by most birds. Larger resident flocks were significantly associated with improved post‐release outcomes.

Specialization of bat-fly interactions at different elevations in a montane forest of northern Peru
ParasitologyHippoboscoidea flies exhibit highly specific ectoparasitic relationships with bats, shaped by both intrinsic factors (e.g. bat behaviour) and extrinsic factors (e.g. land use).

Eroding Confidence in Gully Location Risk Prediction in Mine Pit Rehabilitation
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how rehabilitation measures, such as landform shaping, and surface finishes impact gully erosion risk could assist in designing less erosive rehabilitation. In this study we use high resolution digital elevation models of rehabilitated mine pits to explore risk factors for gully formation.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
