Invisible near‐infrared thermo‐stimulated luminescence from carbon dots enabled by stepwise energy transfer for concealed information encryption

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
A fully metal‐free near‐infrared (NIR) thermo‐stimulated luminescent system is developed by embedding carbon dots into a carbon nitride matrix and integrating multistage Förster resonance energy transfer. The system exhibits long‐term charge retention, rewritable optical memory, and highly concealed NIR readout, promising for secure data encryption and

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Quantitative Inheritance of Plant Growth Habit in Blueberry Progenies

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1986
Abstract Genetic variance components, narrow-sense heritabilities, and general combining ability (GCA) effects were estimated for plant growth habit traits from a partial diallel cross among 17 blueberry ( Vactinium corymbosum L., V. angustifolium

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Wastewater characterization and treatment at a blueberry and carrot processing plant

Water Resources and Industry, 2019
Carrot and blueberry processing wastewaters were tested to determine total suspended solids (TSS) and organics (COD and BOD5) levels before and after wastewater treatment. Wastewater treatment by filtration through 1/8″ and 1/16″ reels provided no significant reduction in either TSS, COD or BOD5.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Blueberry plants support a distinctive microbiome as a function of plant genetics and tissue

Abstract Background Fruits, such as blueberries, are critical for food production and ecosystem sustainability as they are largely consumed by humans and animals worldwide. The microbial communities (bacteria, archaea, and fungi) within and on the surface of these fruits play a key role in regulating food quality, alongside supporting crucial ...

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

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 ...
