Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.The study explores how beavers (Castor spp.) affect endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in European rivers. Beaver dams can harm small, fragmented mussel populations by reducing flow, increasing sediment, and potentially limiting host fish movement, while larger populations may benefit from improved bed stability and ...

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of gas–solid interface charge accumulation is an important reason for distorting the surface electric field and then inducing surface discharge. The temperature gradient distribution formed on the spacer during the operation of a gas‐insulated transmission line (GIL) will aggravate the surface charge accumulation, further ...

Temporal community change in stream ecosystems varies by assemblage across US climates
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem properties are temporally dynamic. Temporal variability has been shown to decrease with increasing levels of biological organization (i.e. from population to community and ecosystem levels).

Urban oases relax desiccation risk for an arid‐adapted lizard
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization from expanding human development has radically altered the structure, ecology and microclimate of landscapes worldwide. These dramatic environmental alterations subject organisms to novel ecological conditions and may select for distinct ecophysiological ...
