Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

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

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Temporal, species‐specific variation in activity patterns of bats (Chiroptera) along a boreal river basin in Västerbotten, Sweden

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Seasonal variation in photoperiods, energetic demands, and reproductive constraints are expected to strongly influence bat activity at high latitudes, yet empirical evidence from boreal systems is limited. We used passive acoustic monitoring to examine spatial, temporal, and feeding activity patterns of bats along a boreal river basin in Sweden (64°N ...

Investigation of the Simplified Equivalent Circuit Model of the Post‐Arc Sheath Stage in DC Vacuum Circuit Breakers

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a simplified equivalent circuit model (ECM) for the post‐arc sheath stage in DC vacuum circuit breakers and outlines the method for calculating circuit parameters using the particle‐in‐cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC‐MCC) method. The post‐arc sheath is modelled as a parallel combination of a variable resistor and a variable
