Spatiotemporal dynamics in habitat suitability of a large Arctic herbivore: Environmental heterogeneity is key to a sedentary lifestyle

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Quantifying spatial and temporal variation in habitat suitability is crucial to understand changes in animal distribution and to inform conservation and management initiatives, especially for species occupying regions profoundly impacted by climatic and ...

Relationships between survival and habitat suitability of semi‐aquatic mammals

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Spatial distribution and habitat selection are integral to the study of animal ecology. Habitat selection may optimize the fitness of individuals. Hutchinsonian niche theory posits the fundamental niche of species would support the persistence or growth ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Conservation planning for species recovery under the Endangered Species Act: A case study with the Northern Spotted Owl.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) was listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1990. We applied modern spatial conservation theory and models to evaluate several candidate critical habitat networks, and ...

Synthesis of giant panda habitat suitability evaluations

Heliyon
Degradation, fragmentation, and habitat loss significantly threaten the survival of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). Habitat suitability evaluations (HSEs) represent a crucial component of giant panda habitat research. However, a systematic review of HSE research on giant pandas has not been conducted in recent years.

Bioinspired Adaptive Leg‐Claw Enables Robust Perching and Grasping for UAVs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by owl limb morphology and bat roosting behavior, this study presents a bioinspired adaptive leg‐claw mechanism that enables UAVs to perform robust and versatile perching and grasping. The design integrates a four‐link tibial structure, tension‐driven deformable feet, and active control, enabling stable perching on various branches and ...
