Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

INFLUENCE OF MOISTURE DIFFUSION RATE OF BOUND WATER UPON THE DRYING TIME OF STEAMED AND UNSTEAMED BEECH WOOD [PDF]

open access: yesPro Ligno, 2015
The paper aims at establishing the drying time of beech wood below fiber saturation point, by taking into consideration the influence of thickness, drying temperature, pre-treatment by steaming and wood type (white wood compared to red heart). In order

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests. [PDF]

open access: yesPest Manag Sci
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Study of the Influence of Heat Flow on the Time to Ignition of Spruce and Beech Wood

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Adherence to fire safety regulations for wood is one of the most important tasks in its use in structural and architectural applications. This article deals with determining the influence of heat flux on the ignition process of spruce (Picea abies L ...

The Effects of Natural Weathering on Color Stability of Impregnated and Varnished Wood Materials

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of natural weathering on color stability of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.) impregnated with some chemicals [tanalith-E (TN-E), adolit-KD5 (AD-KD5), and chromated ...

Statistical analyses of ecological multinomial time series to identify environmental drivers and biotic interactions

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the drivers of change in communities is a major goal of paleoecology and community ecology, but statistical inference from multivariate time series is challenged by relative (rather than absolute) abundance data, observation uncertainty and missing data due to uneven sampling through time.

Changes Caused by Heat Treatment in Color and Dimensional Stability of Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Wood

open access: yesDrvna Industrija, 2014
Thermal modification of wood permanently alters several of its chemical and physical properties. Beech wood is one of the most important hardwoods in Central and Eastern Europe and is extensively used in furniture production. In this study the effects of

The Mechanical and Resonance Assessment of Large Clear Samples of UK-Grown Beech Wood

open access: yes, 2019
The paper presents the results of non-destructive longitudinal resonance (impulse excitation technique), and mechanical flexural testing, of a batch of European beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.), grown in the United Kingdom.
