The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Friction Shock Absorbers and Reverse Thrust for Fast Multirotor Landing on High‐Speed Vehicles

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Typical landing gears of small uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAV) limit their capability to land on vehicles moving at more than 20–50 km/h due to high drag forces, high pitch angles and potentially high relative horizontal velocities. To enable landing at higher speeds, a combination of lightweight friction shock absorbers and reverse thrust ...

Dam Submergence Flows: An Environmental Flow Prescription Designed to Aid Migratory Fish Passage

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of a holistic ecosystem‐focused set of unified flow prescriptions, natural spring flood events were enhanced with releases from an upstream reservoir on the Cape Fear River in North Carolina (USA) to submerge a series of low‐use, low‐head lock‐and‐dam structures for anadromous fish to move upstream.

Reviewing the Potential for Behavioral Guidance to Improve Downstream Passage of Out‐Migrating Anguillid Eels

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroelectric dams and their turbine infrastructure threaten out‐migrating anguillid eels en route to marine spawning grounds. For decades, invested parties have attempted to guide eels away from turbines and toward safe passage routes. A subset of this work (hereafter behavioral guidance) has involved exploiting sensory biology (e.g., sight ...

ICE telemetry performance [PDF]

open access: yes
Acquiring telemetry data from the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) at its encounter with the comet Giacobini-Zinner on September 11, 1985 proved to be among the more difficult challenges the DSN has met in recent years.

Evaluation of Juvenile Salmon Behavior to Inform Downstream Fish Passage Development at a High Head Dam

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fish passage development is a priority at Tieton Dam, on the Tieton River in Washington state, because passage options were not included when the dam was constructed nearly 100 years ago. To inform downstream passage design, we conducted a study to evaluate migration and near‐dam behavior of juvenile salmon.
