Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Assessing the utility of autonomous recording units and spring point counts for monitoring abundance of ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus is a species of conservation concern that has declined across most of its range. At the southeastern trailing edge of the range in Georgia, grouse are restricted to elevations 600 m a.s.l. and abundance is relatively low.

A comprehensive review of coordinated operation of transmission‐distribution networks: Frameworks, problems and future trends

open access: yesEnergy Conversion and Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of distributed energy resources (DERs) is reshaping the operational landscape of transmission and distribution networks, creating new challenges for maintaining system‐wide security, economic efficiency and flexibility. Transmission‐distribution (T‐D) coordination has emerged as an essential paradigm for facilitating multi ...

YOLO‐GDCNN: Real‐Time Operating Point Detection for Live Working Robots in the Power Industry

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the power industry maintenance, the capability of live working robots to detect and operate with power components in real time is paramount. This paper proposes a cascaded detection framework for real‐time detection of live working operation points, named YOLO‐GDCNN. The framework consists of two parts.

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Time‐ and cultivar‐dependent biochemical responses to heat priming and stress in rice

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Global warming increasingly threatens rice productivity, and understanding the biochemical mechanisms underlying heat stress responses is crucial for developing resilient cultivars. By demonstrating that stress responses are both cultivar‐ and time‐of‐day‐dependent, our findings offer new insights into the temporal and genetic regulation of acquired ...
