Road vehicle collisions are likely to be an important contributory factor in the decline of European hedgehog ( Erinaceus europaeus) Britain. Here, a collaborative roadkill dataset collected from multiple projects across Britain was used assess when, where and why more occur. Seasonal trends were assessed using Generalized Additive Model. There few casualties winter—the hibernation season for hedgehogs—with gradual increase February that reached peak July before declining thereafter. A...
Abstract Weasels (genus Mustela and Neogale ) are of management concern as declining native species in some regions invasive others. Regardless the need to conserve or remove weasels, there is increasingly a use non‐invasive monitoring methods assess population trends. We conducted literature review held first ever International Weasel Monitoring Symposium synthesise information on historical current techniques for weasels. also explored limitations, opportunities, areas development guide...
The age profile of populations fundamentally affects their conservation status. Yet, is frequently difficult to assess in wild animals. Here, we assessed the use DNA methylation homologous genes establish structure a rare and elusive mammal: Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii). We collected 62 wing punches from individuals whose ages were known as result long-term banding study. was measured at seven CpG sites three genes, which have previously shown age-associated changes humans laboratory...

Abstract Monitoring rare and elusive species is critical in guiding appropriate conservation management measures. Mammalian carnivores are challenging to monitor directly, due their generally nocturnal solitary lifestyle, relatively large home ranges. The European mink Mustela lutreola a critically endangered, small, semi-aquatic carnivore one of the most threatened mammal Europe. In northern Spain, population monitored regionally using different methods approaches, making assessment...
Abstract The fraction of the electrical resistivity quenched copper which is often attributed to vacancy defects may include relatively large contributions due occluded hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen contamination can be prevented by adding carbon monoxide pre-quench atmospheres nitrogen argon. eliminated a suitable annealing procedure. When such precautions are observed, quenching method yields value (1·14±0·06) ev for formation energy single vacancies in copper. Isochronal at temperatures...
Summary A discussion is given of some aspects the relation between concepts entropy and intuitive qualitative ideas concerning 'disorder'. In this connection, a plea mado for moderation in use such idess teaching. particular: (i) They ought not to be so misused as obscure status S quantity which can treated purely macroscopic theory. (ii) do exhibit complete correspondence with quantitative treatment on molecular level.
The thermal conductivity of binary and ternary mixtures nitrogen, ammonia hydrogen has been measured at temperatures in the range 25 to 149°C. apparatus used was hot wire type as modified by Callear & Robb, with accommodation effects almost eliminated use thermometer not same served a source heat but second wire. accuracy measurement about 1% . For every mixture dependence on composition (expressed terms mole fractions) far from linear, for nitrogen there which maximum. A comparison...

Agreement between the results of theoretical and experimental investigations absorption hydrogen by palladium indicates that, at least higher temperatures, is contained in solid solution. Apparatus for observing changes electrical resistance during evolution described, with which resistance-pressure isotherms from 75° to 150° c. were obtained pressures increasing decreasing zero atmospheric. Factors affecting Pd-H system are discussed an explanation form given; a decrease observed, when...
Abstract Context The importance of habitat connectivity for wildlife is widely recognised. However, assessing the movement species tends to rely on radio-tracking or GPS evidence, which difficult and costly gather. Objectives To examine functional greater horseshoe bats (GHS, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum ) at a local scale using Circuitscape software; comparing our results against expert opinion ‘fly ways’. Methods Expert opinions were used rank score five environmental layers influencing GHS...
A brief account of observed facts concerning the effect temperature on viscosity, and how these may be interpreted is presented. The principal qualitative are as follows: (1) All gases at ordinary pressure become more viscous raised. (2) Most liquids less (3) Highly compressed resemble in this respect: they (4) For a few (specifically, liquid helium sulphur) there range over which viscosity increases
A physical interpretation is made of various complicated formulae which have been given for the thermal conductivity and viscosity n mixtures gases. The based on recognition two principal effects operating in transport heat or momentum through gaseous mixtures. first (and larger) effect that molecules one species impede by other species. second a transfer (or momentum) from to another. When neglected, equations form proposed Sutherland (1895) Wassiljewa (1904) follow immediately. For...
The Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii) is a rare sedentary considered to be highly reliant on the presence of ancient woodland. Understanding genetic connectivity and population structure such elusive mammals important for assessing their conservation status. In this study, we report diversity M. bechsteinii across Britain Europe. Assessments were made using 14 microsatellite markers 747 bp region mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Nuclear DNA (microsatellites) showed high levels little...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) can have negative consequences for a wide range of taxa. However, the effects on nocturnal mammals other than bats are poorly understood. A citizen science camera trapping experiment was therefore used to assess effect ALAN activity European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) supplementary feeding stations in UK gardens. crossover design implemented 33 gardens with two treatments—artificial and darkness—each which lasted one week. The order treatment depended...
Abstract Background The Schreiber’s bat, Miniopterus schreibersii , is adapted to long-distance flight, yet long distance movements have only been recorded sporadically using capture-mark-recapture. In this study, we used the hydrogen isotopic composition of 208 wing and 335 fur specimens from across species' European range test hypothesis that species migrates over distances. Results After obtaining (δ 2 H) each sample, performed geographic assignment tests by comparing δ H samples with...
