Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...

World Water Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Impact of hunting modality on social contacts in wild boar populations across Europe
Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.Our study showcases how hunting disturbance influences social contact rates in a group‐living wild mammal. Along with other biotic and abiotic drivers, hunting modality plays a significant role in shaping intra‐group, but not inter‐group, contacts. Reduced group cohesion induced by drive hunts could negatively impact survival, foraging efficiency and ...

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are one of the most common statistical methods to assess species occupancy and geographic distribution patterns. With the increasing complexity and availability of ecological data in the marine context, many methodological approaches have been developed to support SDM analysis.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines the effects of new food store openings on customer traffic to incumbent stores using a modified difference‐in‐differences approach and cellphone location data from the contiguous United States in 2019. Analysis of both the intensive margin (total visit counts) and the extensive margin (unique visitors) reveals substantial ...
