Study on the composite fracture characteristics of filling and reinforcing cracked rock mass after high temperature damage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Cement infill shares compressive and shear stresses during loading, while interfacial friction hinders crack propagation and reduces stress concentration, improving the rock's load‐bearing capacity. Failure modes vary with crack inclination. Unfilled specimens show four modes.

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

Ecography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Using the environmental light field method for measuring biologically relevant light characteristics at the household scale

Ecography, EarlyView.
The regular variations of light in the natural light cycle serve as one of the most important cues for the timing of biological events in organisms. The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) alters the natural light cycle and has been found to have harmful effects on human, wildlife, and environmental health.
