How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

The Impact of Stellar Rotations and Binaries on the Shape of Upper Main Sequence near Turnoff in Open Cluster NGC 6067

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the analysis of the extended main-sequence turnoff (eMSTO) in the open cluster NGC 6067. We derive the projected rotational velocity, v sin i , of the stars belonging to the eMSTO region of the main sequence (MS) utilizing Gaia-ESO spectra ...

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244Cm$$ {}^{244}\mathrm{Cm} $$ sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and ...

Discovery of a Barium Blue Straggler Star in M67 and “Sighting” of Its White Dwarf Companion

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the discovery of a barium blue straggler star (BSS) in M67, exhibiting enhancements in slow neutron-capture ( s -)process elements. Spectroscopic analysis of two BSSs (WOCS 9005 & WOCS 1020) and four stars located near the main-sequence turn ...

Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Micro Partial Discharge Characteristics of SF6 Under DC Voltage

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In gas‐insulated high‐voltage direct current (HVDC) devices, micro partial discharges (PD) caused by micro‐protrusions or surface roughness on conductors or enclosures may not cause immediate insulation system failure due to their weak discharge intensity.

Wind Roche-lobe Overflow in Low-mass Binaries: Exploring the Origin of Rapidly Rotating Blue Lurkers

The Astrophysical Journal
Wind Roche-lobe overflow (WRLOF) is a mass-transfer mechanism proposed by Mohamed and Podsiadlowski for stellar binaries wherein the wind acceleration zone of the donor star exceeds its Roche-lobe radius, allowing stellar wind material to be transferred ...

Wavelength–angle characterization of high‐energy X‐ray beams from lapped Si(111) double‐crystal monochromators using rocking‐curve tomography

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
A computed‐tomography method using full‐rotation rocking curves is developed to characterize 100 keV X‐ray beams from lapped Si(111) crystals, revealing systematic wavelength broadening while maintaining constant angular divergence in DuMond space.Lapping the surfaces of Si(111) crystals in a double‐crystal monochromator (DCM) has recently been shown ...

HIP 8522: A Puzzling Young Solar Twin with the Lowest Detected Lithium Abundance

The Astrophysical Journal
We present HIP 8522, a young solar twin with the lowest detected lithium abundance, potentially a field blue straggler or the result of episodic early accretion. Its stellar parameters ( T _eff  = 5729 ± 7 K, $\mathrm{log}\,g$  = 4.532 ± 0.016 dex, [Fe/H]

The Early Upper Palaeolithic in British caves: problems and potential Le Paléolithique supérieur ancien dans les grottes de Grande‐Bretagne : problèmes et potentiels

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.
