Forest and fire drive moose (deníe) detections near their northern range limit
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.One way to understand species range shifts in response to anthropogenic climate change is to study populations living at the limit of climate and resource suitability. Moose Alces alces (deníe in Dënesųłıné) generally require forest–wetland landscape complexes but are increasingly seen across the forest–tundra transition at their northern range limit ...

Using polymers to improve the rutting resistance of asphalt concrete [PDF]
, 2015 This study assesses rutting on two types of modified asphalt mixtures containing: (i) amorphous polyolefin polymer and (ii) a particular polymer obtained by combining LDPE (low density polyethylene) and EVA (ethyl-vinyl-acetate).

Efficacy of raccoon removal in urban and rural sites in northern Illinois
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We placed 109 camera traps (n = 204 unique camera trap placements) at 6 study sites (5 treatment and 1 control) to monitor raccoon response to removal. Our results indicated that implementing biannual, multiple, or extended trapping programs could maintain reduced raccoon abundance and occupancy over longer durations where protection of prey species is

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Modelling soil moisture – soil strength relationship of fine-grained upland forest soils
Silva Fennica, 2019 The strength of soil is known to be dependent on water content but the relationship is strongly affected by the type of soil. Accurate moisture content – soil strength models will provide forest managers with the improved ability to reduce soil ...

Changing practices, not just rules: Rethinking the institutionalisation of deliberative engagement
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract When Victoria introduced legislation requiring all 79 councils to adopt deliberative engagement, 92% continued practices the legislation had just removed. This paradox reveals a fundamental challenge in embedding democratic innovations within existing systems of government: legislation signals commitment but cannot disrupt entrenched ...

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...

Asphalt layer rutting performance prediction tools
, 2018 Flexible pavement rutting due to permanent deformation accumulation in asphalt layers is one of the most common modes of road failures. In addition to creating high maintenance costs, rutting is a major concern for traffic safety, as the rut development ...

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?
The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.
