We investigated sex and seasonal differences in the road crossing behavior of Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus) living in central Honshu Island, Japan, as an example of wildlife risk‐taking behavior in a highly fragmented landscape. Our results show that Asian black bears generally avoid crossing roads, and that there are seasonal differences in ...

Room‐temperature dislocation plasticity in ceramics: Methods, materials, and mechanisms
Abstract Dislocation‐mediated plastic deformation in ceramic materials has sparked renewed research interest due to the technological potential of dislocations. Despite the long research history of dislocations as one‐dimensional lattice defects in crystalline solids, the understanding of plastically deformable ceramics at room temperature seems ...
