Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Developing a new shock‐collar design for safe and efficient use on wild wolves

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Electronic training collars, or shock collars, have received relatively little application as a non‐lethal management tool for reducing livestock losses caused by gray wolves (Canis lupus).

Wolf outside, dog inside? The genomic make-up of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog [PDF]

, 2018
Background Genomic methods can provide extraordinary tools to explore the genetic background of wild species and domestic breeds, optimize breeding practices, monitor and limit the spread of recessive diseases, and discourage illegal crossings.

Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures

Ecography, EarlyView.
As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

Ecography, EarlyView.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

Unveiling the significance of dog domestication in cognitive dysfunction: Are wolves protected?

Open Veterinary Journal
Over the course of their long coexistence with humans, dogs have developed a stronger bond with humans than with any other domestic species. This close relationship has promoted notable parallels in both genetics and lifestyle, thereby facilitating the ...

Assessment of Voltage Unbalance and Power Losses in Distribution Network Integrated With PVs and EV Charging Stations

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unequal load distribution in three‐phase power distribution networks leads to voltage unbalance and decreased network efficiency. Integration of photovoltaics (PVs) and electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) into such networks is a challenging task as their penetration affects the power quality of the system.

Effectiveness of a Simulated Pack to Manipulate Wolf Movements

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Bioboundaries, also called biofences, are deterrents that attempt to exploit certain innate behaviors to exclude wildlife from target areas. We hypothesized that human-deployed scent marks and playbacks of foreign howls could simulate a territorial gray ...

Group Size Effect on the Success of Wolves Hunting [PDF]

, 2015
Social foraging shows unexpected features such as the existence of a group size threshold to accomplish a successful hunt. Above this threshold, additional individuals do not increase the probability of capturing the prey.
