The diel niche of brown bears: constraints on adaptive capacity in human‐modified landscapes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Diel activity rhythms, representing the behavioral pattern of the sleep–wake cycle, may be adjusted by wildlife in response to changes in environmental conditions. An increase in nocturnality is typically recognized as an adaptive strategy to segregate from humans and mitigate heat stress. Numerous studies have investigated spatial patterns and habitat

Wild bees and landcover: bee species' body size does not predict the scale of effect, but bee phenology predicts association with landcover type

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Habitat is a key aspect of any species' niche and can affect populations at multiple spatial scales. Basic ecology and effective conservation thus require an understanding of which habitats matter and at what scales. Yet, habitat studies are rarely scale‐optimized, and what determines the scale(s) at which populations are affected by surrounding ...

Where do we expect to find deep plant roots?

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Plant roots have been observed up to 70 m in depth – what would compel a plant to root so deeply? Earlier work shows that the climate, soil and drainage all affect rooting depth, but with conflicting results. For example, both the deepest and shallowest roots are found in arid regions.

Multi‐Objective Optimization of Phase Change Coupled Thermal Management System Based on NSWOA

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
NSWOA‐optimized liquid‐PCM hybrid cooling reduces 18 650 pack Tmax by 5.9 K and ΔT to 4.7 K at 4 °C discharge, validated within 1.5 K error; non‐uniform cell placement and key PCM properties are balanced for safety. This study investigates phase change materials (PCMs) for lithium battery thermal management.
