Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control for a Nonlinear System With an Extended State Observer

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
The block diagram of Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller (FSMC) with Extended State Observer (ESO) for a nonlinear system. ABSTRACT This paper presents a fuzzy‐based sliding mode controller (SMC) that incorporates an extended state observer (ESO) to achieve accurate trajectory tracking of uncertain nonlinear systems.

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1054-1068, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 368-387, June 2026.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Spectral Mapping Using Kernel Principal Components Regression for Voice Conversion

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2013
The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) method is popular and efficient for voice conversion (VC), but it is often subject to overfitting. In this paper, the principal component regression (PCR) method is adopted for the spectral mapping between source speech ...

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

A new acoustic telemetry tag that identifies carrier mortality by monitoring activity level

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1735-1742, June 2026.
Abstract We present a new acoustic telemetry tag capable of detecting whether its carrier stops moving for long enough to presume the organism has died, and of reporting the time elapsed since movement ceased. The tag uses existing environmental sensor technology together with an algorithm with user‐specifiable thresholds, and importantly, can separate
