Taxonomy and diversity of Marcgraviaceae, north of the São Francisco river, northeast Brazil

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of Marcgraviaceae species diversity north of the São Francisco river in northeastern Brazil, analyzing species richness and distribution patterns across 384 000 km² of phytogeographic domains. Through field collections, herbarium studies (both physical and digital), and detailed morphological analyses, we ...

HyLPD Digital Twin Control for UAV Stability in High‐Wind Conditions

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel HyLPD, a hybrid control framework combining Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) for baseline stability and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) for adaptive compensation, tailored for UAVs under high‐wind conditions.

A tale of two studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Running user evaluation studies is a useful way of getting feedback on partially or fully implemented software systems. Unlike hypothesis-based testing (where specific design decisions can be tested or comparisons made between design choices) the aim is ...

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

What Frege asked Alex the Parrot: Inferentialism, Number Concepts, and Animal Cognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
While there has been significant philosophical debate on whether nonlinguistic animals can possess conceptual capabilities, less time has been devoted to considering 'talking' animals, such as parrots.

ECOSTRESS‐derived semi‐arid forest temperature and evapotranspiration estimates demonstrate drought and thinning impacts

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ECOSTRESS lands surface temperature (LST) data are sensitive to forest thinning, regional drought, and their interaction. Consistent with high‐resolution UAV images, ECOSTRESS LST data indicate thinned forest had significantly greater temperature across years.

Image Deblurring and Super-resolution by Adaptive Sparse Domain Selection and Adaptive Regularization

open access: yes, 2010
As a powerful statistical image modeling technique, sparse representation has been successfully used in various image restoration applications. The success of sparse representation owes to the development of l1-norm optimization techniques, and the fact ...

UAVs unveil the role of small scale vegetation structure on wader nest survival

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine high‐resolution vegetation structural metrics derived from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery with on‐field wader nest survival monitoring. We show that the immediate vegetation height and heterogeneity within a 2‐meter buffer surrounding the clutch of the recorded ground‐nesting wader species positively influenced its ...

Provoking critical awareness and intersubjectivity through ''transformative storytelling'' [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Theories that inform pedagogical practices have positioned young children as innocent, pre-political and egocentric. This paper draws from an action research study that investigates the impact of “transformative storytelling”, where stories purposefully ...

Overlooked Parrot Seed Dispersal in Australia and South America: Insights on the Evolution of Dispersal Syndromes and Seed Size in Araucaria Trees

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
While Psittaciformes (parrots and allies) are well recognized as highly-mobile seed predators, their role as seed dispersers has been overlooked until very recently.
