Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

A Model Experiment on Motions and Mooring Rope Tensions of a Moored Ship under Waves and Winds

Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B2 (Coastal Engineering), 2011
An evacuation port facility for a ferry connecting remote islands is under consideration in Sendai Port. The facility is a rectangular shaped small basin, which consists of wave dissipating vertical walls. The ferry is housed and tightly moored with a number of ropes during severe waves and winds caused by typhoons.

Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.
