Home range shifts and habitat selection across life‐history stages in grey partridges

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how birds use space throughout the year is essential for effective conservation planning, even in resident species. We investigated seasonal space use in a Central European population of grey partridges Perdix perdix, a rapidly declining residential farmland bird.

Radiographic Screening of Wild and Semi‐Wild Cape Ground Squirrels (Geosciurus inauris) for the Presence of Peri‐Apical Masses Associated With Elodont Incisor Teeth

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Peri‐apical masses were absent in both wild and semi‐wild Cape ground squirrels, despite dietary differences and minor incisor trauma. These findings suggest such lesions are rare outside captivity and not induced by low‐fiber diets alone, adding to the literature on environmental and dietary risk factors in elodont tooth pathology.

Practical Day‐Ahead Gas Generator Dispatch Optimisation for Enhancing the Reserved Capacity

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
Practical day‐ahead gas generator dispatch optimisation model is proposed to enhance the system reserved capacity. ABSTRACT In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, traditional coal‐fired power generation has been strictly limited in China recently, which has led to the problem of reserved capacity shortage. As one of the critical east provinces of
