High precision in the manual control of needles and biopsy probes medical treatment requires high skill dexterity levels. In anaesthesia, force sensation is an important feedback mechanism, practitioner needs to refresh or develop skills improve on interpretation needle progress towards target site. This paper describes experimental tactile simulator for uniaxial action which resisting derived from measured data. As example, approach taken simulation insertion epidural described. Adaptation...
Loss of foraging habitat and reductions in insect prey are key factors responsible for declines bat populations. Identifying important habitats the ecological requirements conservation status provides evidence appropriately targeted management strategies. We examined habits barbastelle, Barbastella barbastellus, at northern edge its European range using a combination radio tracking, to determine home use selection, DNA metabarcoding, identify items consumed. Riparian vegetation broadleaved...
We present the results of a study which describes relationship between western barbastelle Barbastella barbastellus highly specialised moth predator, and its prey-moths genus Orthosia, another selective animal known to converge around dominant producer pollen nectar in early spring-willow trees Salix sp. In order describe this trophic relationship, we conducted acoustic recordings at five paired sites (willow/control tree) proximity hibernation (Natura 2000: PLH080003 PLH200014) beginning...
"Lunar phobia" in bats has been widely discussed since its description tropical 1978. The phenomenon frequently contested and supported was first reported European 2020. Our study seeks to clarify the debate by describing relationship between activity of selected swarming vespertilionid (Family: Vespertilionidae) moonlight levels. To verify a potential connection latter, dataset analysed respect estimated illumination. Moonlight estimates were based on geographical location several lunar...
We monitored a barbastelle (Barbastella barbastellus) maternity roost for four months using portable CCTV system, time synchronised with ultrasound recorders. discovered three patterns of vocal activity not previously described. When barbastelles investigated the entrance, calls resembling approach phase echolocation were produced consisting group 10 or more broadband pulses low amplitude, detected than few metres from roost. The other two distinct during swarming around tree. first...
The Caledonian pine forests of Scotland have declined significantly over the past century largely due to clearance for timber, fuel and grazing land. Approximately 1% these native pinewoods remain from their historic extent, with a stronghold in Cairngorms National Park. Creeping Lady’s-Tresses Goodyera repens (L.) R. Br., One-Flowered Wintergreen Moneses uniflora A. Gray Twinflower Linnaea borealis L. favour this habitat, meaning that woodland has resulted widespread declines. There are...
Abstract We present the results of a study which describes relationship between western barbastelle Barbastella barbastellus highly specialised moth predator and its prey – moths genus Orthosia, another selective animal known to converge around dominant producer pollen nectar in early spring willow trees Salix sp.. In order describe this trophic we conducted acoustic recordings at five paired sites (willow / control tree), proximity hibernation (Natura 2000: PLH080003 & PLH200014)...
