Thermal Degradation Kinetics and Flame‐Retardant Synergy in Zinc Borate/Red Phosphorus‐Filled Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composites

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
The synergistic interaction between red phosphorus (RP) and zinc borate (ZnB) enhances the thermal stability and flame retardancy of TPU by forming a dense, stable protective char layer. Non‐isothermal kinetic analysis confirms a complex degradation mechanism governed by conversion‐dependent activation energy.

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Continuous field assessments and data sharing to rationalize the IUCN's impact in mammal conservation: a case study of Rwanda

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Taxonomic work, conservation practice, and Red List assessments from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) are intricately linked. The primary conservation goal for biodiversity is to halt the factors driving local extinctions of species.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.
