Diurnal patterns of postfeeding larval dispersal in carrion blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 A study of the diurnal rhythms in the postfeeding dispersal of the larvae of two coexisting carrion blowfly species, Calliphora vomitoria and Lucilia caesar, from corpses was conducted in the field.

Diurnal Oviposition of Blow Flies in Different Aged Carrion [PDF]
, 2018 Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are among the first insects to oviposit (lay eggs) on carrion. The timing of blow fly oviposition is critical for determining a postmortem interval (PMI) estimation, which is the time that has passed between death and ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

Ecology and EvolutionScavenging on carrion is critical and often fiercely competitive for a range of vertebrate species, from native apex predators to invasive species and even reptiles. Within Australia, a notable reptilian scavenger is the lace monitor (Varanus varius). In

Death and Decomposition in Aquatic Ecosystems
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Resource subsidies affect nutrient cycling, species interactions, and food webs in ways that influence ecosystem structure and function, but their effects depend on the history, magnitude, and recurrence frequency of the subsidies. In aquatic ecosystems,

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Many mesocarnivores have low detection rates that hinder practitioners' abilities to implement effective monitoring strategies. Using olfactory attractants (i.e. lures) may increase detection rates, but variation in effects among species is not well understood.

Spatial responses of black vultures to resource pulses during white‐tailed deer hunting seasons
Wildlife Society BulletinPulsed resources can dramatically influence spatial ecology of wildlife. Black vulture (Coragyps atratus) movements depend on habitat structure and foraging opportunities, but their responses to pulsed resources are poorly understood.
