Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

Random‐key optimization for 2D irregular packing with reusable area evaluation

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The diverse constraints of industrial applications lead to variants of two‐dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems that require tailored solution methods. This paper addresses a real‐world industrial challenge by proposing a new problem definition, the maximum reusable contiguous area problem (MRCAP), and a novel metric, the maximum ...

Wild Bee Conservation: Habitat Heterogeneity and Ecological Improvement in Agricultural Land With Open Grassland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Here, we investigated the effects of different levels of habitat heterogeneity and of ecological improvement of habitat to increase foraging resources on wild bee communities in Austria and Luxembourg. We found that ecological improvement was important in Luxembourg for species richness and abundance but less so in Austria; here, habitat heterogeneity ...

The Importance, Challenges and Solutions of a Changing Climate for Conserving Migratory Animals and the Ecosystem Services They Provide

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Each year, billions of animals undertake migratory journeys, resulting in large transfers of energy across the globe. Population declines in many migratory species have affected these, reducing ecosystem resilience. We quantify the value lost and show how conserving migratory species can contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation, and ...
