Dispersal and Mortality of Eastern Imperial Eagles from Bulgaria

open access: yesПернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
Identification of mortality factors and their significance along with dispersal pattern and spatial distribution of mortality events is essential for applying successful conservation measures for long lived species such as Eastern Imperial eagle (Aquila ...

Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Long-term Population Survey of the Eastern Imperial Eagle in the Thracian Eco-region (Bulgaria and Turkey)

open access: yesПернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
The Thrace geographical region comprises territories of three states and covers an area of about 70,000 km2. At the end of the 19th century, the Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) was widespread throughout the region, occupying a variety of habitats.

A new time tree reveals Earth history’s imprint on the evolution of modern birds

open access: yesScience Advances, 2015
Estimates of the timing of evolution of modern birds reveals the influence of paleogeography and paleoclimate on diversification. Determining the timing of diversification of modern birds has been difficult.

Soft and Strong: Elastic Conductors with Bio‐Inspired Self‐Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A general reverse‐engineering approach is demonstrated for designing functional yarns that uses woven fabric architecture as a structural framework. The fabric‐based stretchable conductive yarns combine flexibility, high elasticity, low stiffness, self‐protection, and weavability with conventional textile processes. By fine‐tuning the number of elastic

Thinking with Birds: Mary Elizabeth Barber’s Advocacy for Gender Equality in Ornithology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This article explores parts of the first South African woman ornithologist’s life and work. It concerns itself with the micro-politics of Mary Elizabeth Barber’s knowledge of birds from the 1860s to the mid-1880s.

Atmospheric conditions create freeways, detours and tailbacks for migrating birds

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Physiology, 2017
The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century technological advances have sparked a revival of research into the influence of ...

2D Indium Oxide at the Epitaxial Graphene/SIC Interface: Synthesis, Structure, Properties, and Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new monolayer insulator, InO2, is synthesized by intercalating indium beneath patterned epitaxial graphene on SiC, followed by high‐temperature oxidation. This selective confinement yields large‐area, uniform InO2 with a wide bandgap of 4.1 eV. Upon intercalation, the EG/n‐SiC junction transitions from ohmic to Schottky, exhibiting a rectification ...
