Effects of Simulated Dusk and Dawn on Activity and Feeding of Puerto Rican Crested Toads (Peltophryne lemur) in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Puerto Rican crested toads (Peltophryne lemur) that were provided with dim night lights to simulate a natural dusk and dawn moved more frequently than those kept in complete darkness at night. Toads moved more at dusk and dawn than in the middle of the night. ABSTRACT Night light may affect captive amphibians in alternative ways. Captive amphibians may

Behavioral Patterns of Zoo‐housed Lowland (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus), With a Focus on Sleeping Behavior

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A behavioral study of the nocturnal activity budget and rhythmicity reveals the relationship between lying cycle (LC) duration and time spent in the REM‐sleep posture (“lying – head down”, LHD) in zoo‐housed Lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) and Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus). ABSTRACT To ensure and optimize husbandry conditions, zoo management and

Cost‐Optimal Building Energy System Scheduling Integrating Solar Irradiance Forecasting via LSTM‐Attention‐TCN Model

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building energy systems integrating multiple energy sources can effectively reduce energy consumption and facilitate renewable energy integration. Integrating electrical energy storage (EES) into these systems helps accommodate the increasing share of renewables; however, the stochastic and intermittent nature of solar power still poses ...

Foraging plasticity and physiological adaptations enable hummingbirds to subsist on dilute nectars

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hummingbirds frequently feed on small volumes (<30 μL) of sucrose‐rich nectars. Climate change is expected to affect both the abundance and the concentrations of accumulated nectar.

Effects of temperature and browning on the functional response of a freshwater top predator

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study explores for the first time how temperature and browning affect the functional response of a freshwater piscivore, the northern pike. The authors find surprisingly weak effects of browning, challenging visual foraging theory. Pike displayed a rare dome‐shaped functional response in cold clear water, potentially driven by seasonal changes in ...

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...
