Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Field size as a determinant of common vole population density
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Population densities of the common vole, an agricultural pest, increase nonlinearly with forage field size, especially in fields below 20 ha. Reducing the field size may help limit crop damage in farmland. Abstract BACKGROUND Environmental heterogeneity in agricultural landscapes is a key driver of biodiversity and ecological processes, yet its role in

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.October 2019 was characterized by three main multiday wet spells in Bafoussam and Dschang. Our results indicated that wet spells were influenced by a vortex pair near the Gulf of Guinea, a strong Sahara Heat Low located anomalously far east and north, a northward shift of the intertropical discontinuity, an enhancement of the inland penetration of the ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Making Waves: The Effects of Whitewater Parks on Fish Passage in Colorado
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Instream structures have fragmented riverine habitats throughout much of the world, including the Western USA. Whitewater parks (WWPs) are relatively new instream structures designed to create hydraulic waves for recreational boating and surfing by constricting flows into a steep chute or drop.
