H2 prereduction selectively metallizes Fe in UG2 chromite pellets at 1100°C, while silicon carbide becomes active at 1300°C to convert remaining Cr2O3 to carbides and promote Cr metallization. By separating the roles of H2 and SiC, the sequential route reaches up to 65.7% Cr metallization and suppresses in‐furnace CO generation by ≈75% versus ...

Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Balancing survival and reproduction presents a fundamental evolutionary challenge, especially in extreme and unpredictable environments. Thermoregulatory behaviour, in particular, imposes a costly trade‐off, as time spent maintaining optimal body temperature precludes ...
