Development and geometry of isotropic and directional shrinkage crack patterns

, 1999
We have studied shrinkage crack patterns which form when a thin layer of an alumina/water slurry dries. Both isotropic and directional drying were studied.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Fall Field Report, August–November 2016 [PDF]

, 2016
As usual, there was quite a bit to chew over in the Fall Seasonal Report, although it was generally a pretty uneventful season, especially among waterfowl and shorebirds.

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Understanding the Influence of Soil Moisture on Machine Learning Predictions of Photosynthesis and Evapotranspiration

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) and photosynthesis are key processes in ecosystem functioning on which soil moisture (SM) has an important influence. Eddy covariance measurements and machine learning (ML) increasingly enable flux prediction in ungauged regions.

Evaluating the efficacy of carbachol at reducing corvid predation on artificial nests

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Nest predation often limits recovery of threatened and endangered birds, especially ground‐nesting species. Accordingly, a variety of techniques are used to reduce the impact of nest predation on listed species.

Semi-Supervised Fine-Grained Image Categorization Using Transfer Learning With Hierarchical Multi-Scale Adversarial Networks

IEEE Access, 2019
Fine-grained image categorization is still a challenging computer vision problem in recent years. Most of existing methods highly rely on massive labeled data which are scarce in many real world applications.

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.
