Energy Dependence, Energy Import Diversification, and Institutional Quality: Heterogeneous Impacts on Sustainable Economic Development in the European Union

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy dependence poses significant risks for economic development, particularly in regions that rely heavily on imported fossil fuels. This paper examines how energy dependence and energy import diversification influence economic development across 27 European Union countries between 2000 and 2022. Using IV‐GMM and panel quantile regressions,

First‐trimester prediction and prevention of preterm pre‐eclampsia in women with chronic hypertension

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effect of aspirin on gestational age at delivery due to preterm pre‐eclampsia (PE) in women with chronic hypertension (CH), to assess the predictive performance of the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) first‐trimester competing‐risks model for preterm PE in this high‐risk group and to evaluate how parity, previous PE ...

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Assessing the utility of autonomous recording units and spring point counts for monitoring abundance of ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus is a species of conservation concern that has declined across most of its range. At the southeastern trailing edge of the range in Georgia, grouse are restricted to elevations 600 m a.s.l. and abundance is relatively low.

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Development of optimized methods for unbiased dusky grouse population monitoring using real and simulated data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rigorous state‐wide monitoring programs are lacking for dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus, a North American species of forest grouse with relatively low detectability that is found in coniferous and mountainous areas in the western United States and Canada.

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Markov-chain Monte Carlo method enhanced by a quantum alternating operator ansatz

Physical Review Research
Quantum computation is expected to accelerate certain computational tasks over classical counterparts. Its most primitive advantage is its ability to sample from classically intractable probability distributions.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.
