Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Pavement Distress, Road Safety, and Speed Limit Selection: An Integrated Mechanistic–Quantitative Approach

open access: yesFuture Transportation
Speed management plays a critical role in road safety; however, conventional speed limits are determined based on characteristics such as geometry and traffic volume.

Winter Track Survey of the Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia 俄罗斯滨海边疆区西南部东北虎 (Panthera tigris altaica) 冬季足迹调查

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In the winter of 2021/2022, a winter track survey revealed 43–46 tigers (without cubs) in 5.4 thousand km2 of suitable habitats in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia. In the same period, a network of camera traps registered 54 adult/subadult tigers here.

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Incorporating vehicle mix in stimulus-response car-following models

open access: yesJournal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2016
The objective of this paper is to incorporate vehicle mix in stimulus-response car-following models. Separate models were estimated for acceleration and deceleration responses to account for vehicle mix via both movement state and vehicle type.

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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Choose, Compose, Contemplate: Semantic Theorizing in Management Research

open access: yesBritish Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract By analysing life stories through a reflexive semantic theorizing process, this article introduces an alternative to many conventional coding‐based qualitative analysis techniques. Rather than relying on coding techniques that often strip narrative data of its context and nuance, following the proposed approach helps preserve the richness and ...

Autonomous Vehicles and Vertical Road Design: A Parametric Assessment of Stopping Sight Distance and Vertical Curve Lengths

open access: yesCivilEng
Traditional road geometric design is based on assumptions regarding human perception and reaction, which directly influences Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) and the associated design parameters of vertical curves. Under a future scenario of full autonomous

And then there was us Et puis nous sommes apparus

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In 1987, the academic conference ‘Origins and Dispersals of Modern Humans: Behavioural and Biological Perspectives’ was held in Cambridge, UK. Subsequently referred to as the ‘Human Revolution’ conference, this meeting brought together the most prominent academics working in the field of human origins, including archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists,
