Landscape features outside the airport exerted direct and indirect impact on bird community characteristics inside the airport

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
The presence of bird communities within an airport can impact the likelihood of bird strikes occurring, with airport birds often being influenced by the surrounding habitat.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

The As and Bs of titi monkey linguistics: why emotional communication is not the enemy

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The alarm call sequences of titi monkeys (genera Plecturocebus, Callicebus and Cheracebus) have sparked important debates over whether they exhibit parallels with human language. Some researchers consider these sequences to involve both semantics and syntax, while others argue that the sequences convey semantic information without syntax.

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

OA to bird strike data

open access: yes, 2009
Last month the US Federal Aviation Administration floated the idea that it should stop providing OA to bird strike data.  The idea was that keeping the data secret would encourage airlines and airports to report it.  But the agency made a mid-course correction when its proposal was hit by a barrage of public protests, including a protest from the ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Sustainable Live Sound Monitoring and Classification System Enabled by a Triboelectric Nanogenerator and Machine Learning Techniques

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A high‐performance Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) acoustic sensor using polyimine/graphite polypropylene (PI/GP) was developed for real‐time, sustainable sound monitoring and classification. The self‐powered device delivers 25.67 μW output power, 92.7% accuracy with MobileNet V1, and powers a wireless transmission circuit, demonstrating dual ...
