Cold storage effects on immature calliphoridae: Survival limits and forensic consequences for PMI estimation

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effects of continuous refrigeration (4°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 5% RH) on the development and survival of immature stages (eggs, first, second, and third instar larvae, and pupae) of four forensically important blowfly species (Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya putoria, Hemilucilia segmentaria, and Lucilia cuprina) compared

Urban Microclimate Dynamics Optimization Inspired by Urban Microclimate Studies

open access: yes
Studies on urban microclimate and the urban heat island effect have revealed the impacts of heat distribution, local wind fields, and building layout on local temperature and airflow within cities. This paper proposes an optimization algorithm inspired by urban microclimate and the urban heat island effect—the Urban Microclimate Dynamics Optimization ...

Co‐phylogeny and biogeography of the myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri (Carabidae, Paussinae) and its host ant Pheidole pallidula (Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Strict patterns of co‐divergence have rarely been documented other than among organisms and their symbionts. In this paper, using a molecular approach, we inferr the population‐level phylogenies of a Mediterranean ant species Pheidole pallidula and its nest parasite, the obligate myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri. We then investigate the role of co‐

Understory restoration in Hamilton urban forests

open access: yes, 2011
Research was undertaken to determine how the understory vegetation of Hamilton urban forests compares with reference old-growth forests in rural locations, identify causes for differences, and develop methods to enhance species diversity.

Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

Urban Morphology and Outdoor Microclimate around the “Shophouse” Dwellings in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

open access: yes, 2020
The underestimation of population growth has resulted in the disruptive and uncontrolled expansion of settlements in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The outcome is a complicated mix of new spontaneous dwelling areas featuring a number of distinct urban ...

Sensing Urban Microclimates

open access: yes, 2015
Our understanding of the relationship between city morphology, materiality, and urban microclimate has been limited due to the lack of availability of urban microclimate data. In order to better understand the influence that building geometries, trees, or topographical variations play in urban microclimates, it is necessary to utilize measuring ...

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Urban microclimate parameters for buildings energy strategies

open access: yes, 2016
Today, the cities need to increase energy efficiency, reduce polluting emissions and achieve a sufficient level of sustainability. The urban microclimate plays an important role on the buildings energy consumption and the feeling of comfort in the spaces.
