Age structure, dispersion and diet of a population of stoats (Mustela erminea) in southern Fiordland during the decline phase of the beechmast cycle [PDF]
The dispersion, age structure and diet of stoats (Mustela erminea) in beech forest in the Borland and Grebe Valleys, Fiordland National Park, were examined during December and January 2000/01, 20 months after a heavy seed-fall in 1999.

Exploring Double NDR Modulation and UV‐NIR Photodetection in MoS2/Sb2Se3 Heterostructures
In this study, a van der Waals Sb2Se3/MoS2 heterostructure exhibits dual negative differential resistance (NDR) peaks at room temperature. The first originates from band‐to‐band tunneling, while the second, triggered under laser illumination, is attributed to trap states and recombination dynamics.

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]
The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

State‐of‐the‐Art Solar Blind and X‐Ray Photodetectors Based on Gallium Oxide
State‐of‐the‐art Ga2O3‐based solar‐blind UV and X‐ray photodetectors (PDs) are reviewed. Benchmark plots compare responsivity versus specific detectivity for UV PDs (photoconductors, photovoltaic, Schottky, heterojunction, avalanche, and phototransistor types) and sensitivity versus response time for X‐ray detectors based on Ga2O3 bulk crystals, thin ...

Synthesis of Self‐Healing Microbeam by Superposition of Self‐Decelerating Corner‐Diffraction Beams
Quasi‐nondiffracting (QND) beams boast long‐range propagation and self‐healing capabilities but require complex beam‐forming platforms. In contrast, the photonic nanojets (PNJs) boast simple platforms but are utilized primarily for near‐field applications. This work aims to hybridize the QND and PNJ beam concepts with a view to realize microscale, self‐
