Relationship between food quality and body size of common vole in different habitats

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The body size of the common vole in crop fields (alfalfa, rape, cereals) is larger than in less‐cultivated habitats (forests, clearings, set‐aside) and is not related to food quality. Abstract BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between habitat, food and demographic parameters of common vole populations.

Associating Local‐Scale Physical Habitat Assemblages With Reach‐Scale Stream Hydrogeomorphological Types in Mountain Headwater Catchments

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

Avoiding the ‘One‐Size‐Fits‐All’ Trap in Policy‐Based Monitoring

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy‐based monitoring programmes often fail to yield the information required to assess and improve policies and plans. A dominant cause of this problem is the ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ (OSFA) trap—a failure to recognise that several, complementary types of monitoring are required to support effective policy.

Long‐Term Effects of Low‐Drop Grade Control Structures on Channel Evolution in the Yazoo River Basin

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Channel incision is a widespread problem, especially in river basins that have an extensive history of channel alterations. Because channel incision causes large ecological and economic consequences, the prevention of continued migration of headcuts, defined as a steep change in stream gradient over a short reach, has been the focus of many ...

Adaptive, but Equitable? Exploring the Impact of Machine Learning‐Based Adaptive Support on Educational Debts in Undergraduate Chemistry

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Students' diverse levels of knowledge and competence—shaped by individual interests and educational debts, including structural, systemic, and institutional barriers—create substantial cognitive heterogeneity in instructional settings. Adequately addressing this heterogeneity is challenging.
