Dynamics of high-bypass-engine thrust reversal using a variable-pitch fan [PDF]

The test program demonstrated that successful and rapid forward-to reverse-thrust transients can be performed without any significant engine operational limitations for fan blade pitch changes through either feather pitch or flat pitch.

Comparing leukocyte‐ and thrombocyte‐rich fibrin and autologous grafts for the treatment of experimentally induced wounds in the tarsometatarsus of chickens

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Managing open wounds in birds is challenging. This study compared leukocyte‐ and thrombocyte‐rich fibrin (L‐TRF) and autologous grafts for treating wounds in the tarsometatarsus of chickens. Methods Full‐thickness wounds were experimentally induced in the tarsometatarsus of 23 healthy adult chickens.

Monitoring active osprey nests with drones is more time efficient and less disturbing than conventional methods

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Drones are used to monitor bird nesting sites at less accessible locations, such as on cliffs, human infrastructure, or within the tree canopy. While there are a growing number of studies documenting avian behavioral responses to various drones, there is a continued need to monitor taxa‐specific responses to different drone models. We explored both the

Distance sampling: comparing walked transects and road transects for rock ptarmigan densities and population trends

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
We compared population trends for rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta densities (2003‒2019) derived from walked transects and driven road transects in Mosfellsheiði and Slétta in southwest and northeast Iceland, respectively. The walked transects were laid out according to a random rule.

A framework for the ethical use of animal‐borne devices in post‐release monitoring following rehabilitation

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rehabilitation and release contribute to conservation efforts for threatened species. Ensuring that these efforts are effective requires a good understanding of the factors which determine survival and integration of released animals into wild populations.

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at
