ABSTRACT The mechanisms facilitating coexistence of cryptic species in sympatry have long puzzled ecologists. Cryptic species have nearly identical morphology and, therefore, would be presumed to have high niche overlap and potential for interspecific competition and competitive exclusion when resources are limited. Lowland rivers in South America have

Thermoelectric Properties of a Diketopyrrolopyrrole Polymer With Radical Pending Units
The successful incorporation of TEMPO radicals as side‐chain groups onto the conjugated backbone of an n‐type polymer significantly enhanced the doping efficiency of N‐DMBI via a hydrogen transfer doping mechanism. ABSTRACT Organic n‐type polymers usually suffer from relatively low electrical conductivity which hampers their application as an active ...

Sea Bottom Line Tracking in Side-Scan Sonar Images Using WTMM-Based Edge Detection
The topographic features of the seafloor can be observed clearly via high-resolution side-scan sonar imagery. However, the faithful interpretation of a sonar image depends strongly on the accuracy with which the location of the sea bottom line can be ...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle untuk Survei dan Pemantauan Laut
AUV is an unmanned submersible platform to accomplish a mission. Side-scan sonar, Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD), and underwater video camera are usually attached on AUV. These sensors were used for identifying seawater and seabed condition.

ABSTRACT Once‐common beavers have been absent from the British landscape for centuries, but wild beaver populations have returned in recent years as part of reintroduction schemes, including releases into monitored enclosures. In North Yorkshire, such a release of Eurasian beavers took place in 2019.

Inversion of Side Scan Sonar Motion and Posture in Seabed Geomorphology
Side scan sonar measurement platform, affected by underwater environment and its own motion precision, inevitably has posture and motion disturbance, which greatly affects accuracy of geomorphic image formation.

ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...

ABSTRACT Knowledge of habitat availability is critically important for the management and recovery of freshwater species. Quantifying habitat availability often requires fine‐scale sampling at point‐based locations across a large geographic extent, which can be laboursome.

Development of a 2 MHz Sonar Sensor for Inspection of Bridge Substructures
Hydraulic factors account for a large part of the causes of bridge collapse. Due to the nature of the underwater environment, quick and accurate inspection is required when damage occurs.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.
