Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Upper bounds on maximum lengths of Singleton-optimal locally repairable codes

, 2022
A locally repairable code is called Singleton-optimal if it achieves the Singleton-type bound. Such codes are of great theoretic interest in the study of locally repairable codes.

Soil pH thresholds mediate soil biodiversity by regulating interspecific associations in alpine wetlands of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil pH is recognized as a major determinant of soil biodiversity. However, the extent to which soil pH regulates soil biodiversity by influencing the biotic associations among species is unclear.

A tight bound on the throughput of queueing networks with blocking [PDF]

In this paper, we present a bounding methodology that allows to compute a tight lower bound on the cycle time of fork--join queueing networks with blocking and with general service time distributions. The methodology relies on two ideas.

Application of the linear matching method to creep-fatigue failure analysis of cruciform weldment manufactured of the austenitic steel AISI type 316N(L)

, 2012
This paper demonstrates the recent extension of the Linear Matching Method (LMM) to include cyclic creep assessment [1] in application to a creep-fatigue analysis of a cruciform weldment made of the stainless steel AISI type 316N(L)

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

An error bound for model reduction of Lur'e-type systems [PDF]

, 2009
In general, existing model reduction techniques for stable nonlinear systems lack a guarantee on stability of the reduced-order model, as well as an error bound.

Deep blueprint: A literature review and guide to automated image classification for ecologists

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A practical, literature‐grounded review that gives ecologists a clear, modular workflow for deep learning image classification. With code, GUIs and a novel deep sea case study (automated deep sea biotope classification) it lowers technical barriers and provides a usable blueprint for accelerating, standardising, and scaling ecological image analysis ...
