Low-cost RF 802.11g telemetry for flight guidance system development
This work investigates the potential for off-the-shelf hardware to be used as a very low-cost replacement to the expensive missile test telemetry currently used by military equipment suppliers to develop flight guidance systems.

Abstract Successfully overcoming lateral barriers in rivers is crucial for longitudinal fish migration and is influenced mainly by fishway design, environmental variability and/or individual behavioural traits. Although behavioural traits are well studied in many contexts, their role in predicting fishway passage success in the wild remains poorly ...

Sex differences in cerebral blood flow and cardiac function in response to exercise in the heat
Abstract We investigated the effect of exercising in hot conditions on cerebral blood flow and systolic left ventricular (LV) function in males and females, to explore sex differences. The experimental condition consisted of walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h and 2% incline, inside a heat chamber at 40°C (50% relative humidity), for 90 min.

Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

Abstract Resource selection studies have become increasingly common since the advent of modern animal tracking equipment, yet most studies fail to examine how selection affects vital rates or population growth (i.e., fitness). Without investigating if optimal habitat selection is facilitated in a system, conservation efforts may promote ineffective ...

Radiotelemetry Of Heart Rates From Free-Ranging Gulls [PDF]
A lightweight radiotelemetry system with a range of 80 km was used to monitor heart rate from free-ranging Herring Gulls on flights of up to 20 km. Heart rate varied from 130 beats/min in a resting bird to 625 beats/min for sustained flight.

Recreational activities and human hunting strongly influence red deer space use to trails
Abstract Assessing how animals adjust their movements to two widespread human activities, hunting and recreation, can provide critical insights into how these activities reshape red deer spatial behavior. In this study, we used GPS telemetry data from red deer in the Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany) to analyze their habitat selection and ...

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Movements of female exurban white‐tailed deer in response to controlled hunts
White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) thrive in exurban habitats, which results in increased occurrences of deer–human conflicts. Controlled hunts are one method currently used by managers to deal with increasing exurban deer populations. To develop
