Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

Seismic Signaling Associated With Breeding‐Season Spatial Behavior in the Subterranean Plateau Zokor

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Eospalax baileyi shows seismic signals associated with nasal‐pad striking and corpuscle‐like structures potentially relevant to mechanosensation. Artificial seismic disturbance was based on the temporal structure of breeding‐season recordings, and pregnancy prevalence was 3/10 in the interference plot and 8/10 in the control plot.

Ground‐penetrating radar amplitudes to roots: A numerical modelling framework for mapping coarse root system architecture

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Observations of three‐dimensional (3D) coarse root system architecture remain limited because most measurement approaches require excavation. Here, we combined dense single‐ and multi‐channel 500 MHz ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) surveys with a flow‐guided connectivity framework to non‐destructively characterise the coarse root architecture ...

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Significant Far‐Right Challenges to Australian Society? The XYZ and AustraliaOne

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholars who analyse the Australian far‐right from a criminological or security studies perspective propose that activists and groups pose ‘political’ challenges to Australian society. This paper examines the far‐right news website The XYZ and the AustraliaOne political party, and argues that claims that the far‐right may normalise ...

Estimating the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policies on FDI Inflows Into Australia

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To what extent FDI policy settings and changes influence FDI inflows is an empirical question for which global answers are scarce. Australia is a pertinent locale to test this question, having a long history of attracting FDI and a policy approach distinct from most developed countries.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
