Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

Small, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Impact of climate change on tree-ring growth of Scots pine, common beech and pedunculate oak in northeastern Germany

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
Tree growth depends, among other factors, largely on the prevailing climatic conditions. Therefore, changes to tree growth patterns are to be expected under climate change.

Phenological characterization of Fagus sylvatica L. in Mediterranean populations of the Spanish Central Range with Landsat OLI/ETM+ and Sentinel-2A/B

Revista de Teledetección, 2020
The Spanish Central Range hosts some of the southernmost populations of Fagus sylvatica L. (European beech). Recent cartography indicates that these populations are expanding, going up-streams and gaining ground to oak forests of Quercus pyrenaica Willd.,

BVOC emissions from English oak (Quercus robur) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica) along a latitudinal gradient [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
English oak (Quercus robur) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica) are amongst the most common tree species growing in Europe, influencing the annual biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) budget in this region.

Monitoring the effects of ovariectomy on seasonal movement behavior in suburban female white‐tailed deer using internet of things‐enabled devices

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Abundant deer populations often cause conflicts in suburban communities, yet traditional population reduction methods, such as controlled hunting, can be challenging to implement. Fertility control, specifically through ovariectomy, can limit reproduction and reduce populations in certain settings, but its effect on movement behavior remains poorly ...

Climate sensitivity of silver fir and common beech mixed forests in the Southern Apennines

L'italia forestale e montana, 2014
A recent dendroecological study, carried out on silverfir and beech mixed forests at two sites in Southern Apennines (Italy), showed interesting differential species-specific responses to climate. In particular, a strong influence on tree radial growth was exerted by the precipitation: summer drought stress was the main limiting factor for  both ...

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

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.

Structure of the common beech aboveground tree biomass in different stand conditions

Šumarski list, 2014
Istraživanje o strukturi nadzemne biomase obične bukve je provedeno na tri različite lokacije unutar šumskogospodarskog područja Republike Hrvatske s ciljem utvrđivanja pogodnost uporabe alometrijskih funkcija za izračun biomase obične bukve u različitim sastojinskim uvjetima.
