Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Quantification of human‐caused mortality in an imperiled turtle

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
For many threatened and endangered species, the importance of human‐caused mortality relative to other sources has not been quantified, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of mortality‐reduction strategies. We used radio telemetry data, pooled across studies at protected sites in the US states of Illinois and Wisconsin, to estimate natural ...

Lightweight Convolutional Neural Networks Model and Data Augmentation‐Based Background Regression for Rail Surface Defect Detection

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
An ultra‐lightweight semantic segmentation network RailNet with only 0.905 M parameters is proposed for rail surface defect detection. Combined with a CDBM image enhancement and GAN‐based data augmentation, RailNet achieves superior segmentation accuracy and real‐time speed on edge devices.

Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.
