Effect of ice cover roughness on local scour around bridge piers
Scientific ReportsIn cold-region rivers, the formation of ice cover during winter markedly modifies the hydraulic conditions, leading to enhanced local scour around in-stream infrastructures such as bridge piers. To analyze the flow characteristics and maximum local scour

Local Scour at the Elliptical Guide Banks
Scour development in time at the elliptical guide banks during the floods was studied. The dimensions of the upper part of the elliptical guide banks, namely the turn and length, were calculated by the Latishenko method.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The populations of many deer species across Europe are widely reported to be increasing, leading to potentially greater impacts on forest ecosystems. Our understanding of factors driving the regional distribution (e.g. 1 km2 resolution) of deer populations is, however, often limited by a lack of knowledge of where deer are within the landscape.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Understanding how wild ungulates share space with domestic livestock is central to conservation planning in Himalayan multi‐use landscapes. This study focuses on multi‐axis niche relationships among six wild ungulates: hangul Cervus hanglu hanglu, Kashmir musk deer Moschus cupreus, Himalayan goral Naemorhedus goral, kashmir markhor Capra falconeri ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.The study explores how beavers (Castor spp.) affect endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European rivers. Beaver dams can harm small, fragmented mussel populations by reducing flow, increasing sediment, and potentially limiting host fish movement, while larger populations may benefit from improved bed stability and ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We staged dyadic interaction trials between two kangaroo rat species threatened by habitat loss to test whether one species dominates in direct interactions in the field. We found that Stephens’ kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi) residents and intruders were dominant over Dulzura kangaroo rat (Dipodomys simulans). These results suggest that D. simulans

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Flow and likely scour around three dimensional seabed structures evaluated using RANS CFD
, 2007 When a structure is placed on the seabed, tidal or other marine current induce areas of flow acceleration and deceleration. This may result in movement of the seabed substrate (often sand) near the structure.

Urban oases relax desiccation risk for an arid‐adapted lizard
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization from expanding human development has radically altered the structure, ecology and microclimate of landscapes worldwide. These dramatic environmental alterations subject organisms to novel ecological conditions and may select for distinct ecophysiological ...

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,
