How to reduce sampling error in species population monitoring: from theory to methods

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Progress towards national and international targets to halt and reverse declines in species' abundances will be assessed using multispecies indicators (MSIs). A distinction must be drawn between two MSIs. One is the ideal, but unobserved, MSI that would have been measured had all species and sites within the scope of the target been sampled.

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

How Multiple Streams Influence Agenda‐Setting for Water Reuse in Swiss Substates

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As climate change creates significant challenges for both the environment and society, potential mitigation and adaptation solutions are widely discussed. Yet, neither challenges nor their potential solutions automatically reach the political agenda or lead to a policy decision.

Employing the Moving Least‐Squares Aided Finite Element Method to Study Heat Transfer Phenomenon in Closed‐Cell Polymeric Foam

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
Employing the moving least‐squares aided finite element method (MLS‐FEM) allows detailed thermal analysis in complex porous structures, such as polymeric foams, where the conductive heat transfer mechanism governs in the solid matrix and the convective mechanism dominates within the gas‐filled voids.

Immersed Boundary Projection Method for Boundaries With Slip Velocities

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A formulation of the immersed boundary method for incompressible flow over arbitrarily‐shaped bodies with surface slip described by the Navier boundary condition is presented. The wall slip velocity and the boundary force are determined implicitly through a projection to satisfy both the boundary condition and the divergence‐free condition of the ...
