The role of a synanthropic bird in the nest niche expansion of a secondary cavity nester to man‐made structures
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9188
Abstract: Abstract Species with similar ecological characters often compete with each other; however, a species may also facilitate the survival or reproduction of another ecologically similar species, although such interaction is rarely documented in birds. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4158
Abstract: Sandbars, submerged ridges of sand parallel to the shoreline, affect surfzone circulation, beach topography and beach width. Under time-varying wave forcing, sandbars may migrate onshore and offshore, referred to as two-dimensional (2D) behaviour, and vary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2018.08.013
Abstract: Abstract Silicon-vacancy (SiV) centred diamond exhibits near infrared emission at 738 nm with narrower zero-phonon line and shorter lifetime comparative with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre, considered as a promising room-temperature single-photon source. However, unlike NV centred nanodiamonds… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00963402.2023.2199565
Abstract: ABSTRACT Many, if not most, man-made disasters are preceded by near-misses, where something goes awry but lucky circumstances prevent things from going truly and irreparably wrong. Organizations can learn from these near-misses and make changes… read more here.
