Uncovering Forensic Taphonomic Agents: Animal Scavenging in the European Context
Biology, 2022 Animal scavenging by vertebrates can significantly alter human bodies and their deposition site. For instance, vertebrate animals can cause postmortem modification to a body, alter perimortem trauma, influence decomposition rates, disarticulate and ...

Ozonation of trace organic compounds in different municipal and industrial wastewaters : kinetic-based prediction of removal efficiency and ozone dose requirements [PDF]
, 2020 For the wide application of ozonation in (industrial and municipal) wastewater treatment, prediction of trace organic compounds (TrOCs) removal and evaluation of energy requirements are essential for its design and operation.

The impact of scavenging: perspective from casework in forensic anthropology
Forensic Sciences Research, 2020 Forensic anthropology casework frequently encounters evidence of animal scavenging associated with fragmentation and loss of skeletal material. Published research demonstrates that patterns of destruction in bone can suggest the size and type of animal ...

Quantifying wet scavenging processes in aircraft observations of nitric acid and cloud condensation nuclei [PDF]
, 2006 Wet scavenging is an important sink term for many atmospheric constituents. However, production of precipitation in clouds is poorly understood, and pollutant removal through wet scavenging is difficult to separate from removal through dry scavenging ...

Wet scavenging of soluble gases in DC3 deep convective storms using WRF-Chem simulations and aircraft observations [PDF]
, 2016 We examine wet scavenging of soluble trace gases in storms observed during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field campaign. We conduct high-resolution simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) of ...

Recursive use of home ranges and seasonal shifts in foraging behavior by a generalist carnivore
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Coyotes (Canis latrans) colonized the southeastern United States over the last century as large predators, including the red wolf (Canis rufus) and eastern cougar (Puma concolor), were extirpated from the region.

Pathogen avoidance and prey discrimination in ants [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Insect societies have developed sanitary strategies, one of which is the avoidance of infectious food resources as a primary line of defence. Using binary choices, we investigated whether Myrmica rubra ants can identify prey that has been artificially ...
