Integrating multiple surveys using state–space models improves inference of population trends for Illinois furbearers

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term population monitoring is fundamental to wildlife population management. Furbearer populations are often surveyed using multiple methods, but many estimates of their abundance, especially abundance indices, do not account for detection error, and lead to conflicting interpretations of population trends.

Improved Precipitation Diurnal Cycle in GFDL Climate Models With Non‐Equilibrium Convection

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Most global climate models with convective parameterization have trouble in simulating the observed diurnal cycle of convection. Maximum precipitation usually happens too early during summertime, especially over land. Observational analyses indicate that

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Parameterization of the Elevated Convection With a Unified Convection Scheme (UNICON) and Its Impacts on the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
To improve the simulation of nocturnal precipitation, we develop a parameterization for the elevated convection that is launched from the level of maximum grid‐mean moist static energy, when grid‐mean vertical flow is upward at the launching interface ...

Phase locking between atmospheric convectively coupled equatorial Kelvin waves and the diurnal cycle of precipitation over the Maritime Continent

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Convectively coupled Kelvin waves (CCKWs) are a major component of the tropical atmospheric circulation, propagating eastward around the equatorial belt. Here we show that there are scale interactions between CCKWs and the diurnal cycle over the Maritime

Water depth and human disturbance drive occupancy of endangered softshell turtles (Nilssonia spp.) in eastern Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Freshwater turtles play vital roles in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by supporting ecological balance, nutrient cycling and regulating prey populations. Unfortunately, they are among the most threatened species worldwide. Habitat fragmentation, illegal trade, overharvesting for meat, and use in ethnomedicinal practices have severely ...

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Optimal Scheduling of Data Centre Integrated Energy Systems Considering Electric‐Thermal Demand Response Under Icing Uncertainty

Energy Internet, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme icing disasters increasingly undermine the reliability of integrated power and heat networks by causing line outages, supply shortages and sharp thermal load fluctuations. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a comprehensive optimisation framework that exploits the spatiotemporal flexibility of data centres for coordinated ...

Atmospheric boundary layer measurements at the 280 m high Hamburg weather mast 1995-2011: mean annual and diurnal cycles

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2012
In this paper, the 280 m high Hamburg weather mast and its instrumentation are introduced. Digital data recorded since 1995 are used to calculate the mean annual and diurnal cycles of the primary climate variables (pressure, temperature, humidity, wind ...
