Summary: This study develops a vehicle-track spatial nonlinear coupled system dynamics model using FEM to analyze the coupling between the vehicle subsystem and the track subsystem. The algorithm effectively solves the dynamics problem of the vehicle-track spatial nonlinear coupled system and shows that track irregularity has a significant influence on the dynamic response of the vehicle and track structure.

Summary: The study shows that there is consistent individual variation in spatial behaviors among animals, known as spatial personality. This variation has important implications for wildlife distribution, abundance, interactions, and adaptation to environmental change. Understanding spatial personality can improve our understanding of species' distributions and population dynamics.

Summary: The spatial behavior of invasive toads in Madagascar's eastern coast is important for understanding their invasion dynamics. Radio-tracking 91 toads revealed their preference for habitats close to water and a likelihood of range expansion during the wet season. Although current invasion speed is slow, their capacity for long-distance movements suggests a potential increase in the future.

Summary: Effective planning for species conservation often requires understanding habitat use. This study developed behavior-specific spatial habitat-use models using GPS telemetry data, providing valuable information for the management of threatened species. The study found that recently fledged Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles selected different areas for perching, short-distance flight, and long-distance flight, with preferences for forest edges, steep topography, and areas further from forest edges, respectively.

Summary: Non-frugivorous waterbirds play a crucial role in dispersing weed plants over long distances, exchanging species between human-dominated and natural areas. The study demonstrates that about 92% of weed seeds are dispersed within the birds' activity area, while the remaining 8% reach other habitats, with 42% reaching moist environments suitable for weed establishment. This research emphasizes the significance of non-frugivorous birds in long-distance plant dispersal, an often overlooked mechanism in weed plant expansion studies.

Summary: Small-scale fisheries are vital for global food security and cultural heritage, but the lack of information hampers effective management and mitigation of ecological impacts. This study provides the first comprehensive overview of the small-scale fishery fleet in Northern Cyprus. The fleet operates mainly over the continental shelf, using static and demersal gear types, and catches a diverse range of species, some of which are threatened. The findings can be used to improve fisheries management and conservation measures.

Summary: The principle of minimum potential energy was used to derive the mapping relationship between beam deformation and rail deformation considering the constraint effects of a subgrade system. Dynamic simulation analysis of the train-track-bridge coupled system was conducted based on this mapping relationship. The study analyzed the control threshold of beam deformation of high-speed railways with the riding comfort index as the investigation object and specified limits in relevant specifications. The simulation results showed different sensitivities of different types of high-speed trains to pier settlement and beam faulting. The study recommended maintaining the pier settlement to less than 9.7 mm and the beam faulting to less than 5.3 mm to avoid exceeding the specified limit for vertical acceleration of the car body.

Summary: This paper proposes an innovative spatial mapping relationship model (SMRM) for describing track spatial geometry under subgrade disease. The flowchart and implementation process of SMRM are presented in detail by analyzing the theoretical interaction mechanism between subgrade and ballastless track. The high accuracy and applicability of SMRM method are verified based on finite element model and scale model experiment.

Summary: This study examined the quantification of external training load for sprint kayak athletes in a flowing river environment, finding that power output measures are more suitable for accounting the influence of water flow compared to traditional GPS measures. The relationship between power output and relative water speed showed higher accuracy in predicting athletes' external load, suggesting potential for better training monitoring and prescription in flowing river environments.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the mapping relationship between girder deformation and rail deformation in the high-speed railway (HSR)-China Railway Track System III (CRTS III) slab ballastless track (SBT)-simply-supported bridge system. The additional irregularity of the rail is deduced theoretically and a dynamic model of the high-speed train-track-bridge (TTB) coupling system is established. The dynamic response of two train models (CRH2 and ICE3 trains) is analyzed using the coupling system model, and recommended thresholds of girder deformation are provided for running safety and ride comfort.

Summary: Habitat conversion to farmland has increased human-wildlife interactions and understanding the drivers of human-wildlife conflict is critical for managing wildlife populations. We developed an approach using animal movement data to assess staging behavior and found tortuosity and behavioral states to be the most effective for identifying staging events. Our approach can inform targeted and proactive human-wildlife conflict management and spatial planning efforts.

The analysis reveals exclusive partnerships between vessels, with pelagic pair trawlers and small bottom otter trawlers showing higher rates of exclusivity. This work demonstrates collective tactics at a pairwise level in diverse fisheries around the world.

Summary: Developing Species Distribution Models (SDM) for marine exploited species is a major challenge in fisheries ecology. Classical modelling approaches typically rely on fish research survey data. Spatial monitoring of commercial data can provide an additional extensive data source to inform fish spatial distribution. We propose a spatial hierarchical framework integrating both data sources while accounting for preferential sampling (PS) of commercial data. The framework is successfully applied to three demersal species in the Bay of Biscay.

We developed an integrated framework to infer fish spatial distribution on a monthly time step, combining scientific and commercial data while considering fisher's preferential sampling. The model was applied to infer maps of relative biomass for three species in the Bay of Biscay, showing potential in identifying reproduction areas.

Summary: Phenology monitoring is important for understanding forest functioning and climate impacts. This research compares the phenological behavior of European beech forests using Tree-Talker (TT+) and Sentinel 2 satellite data. The study finds differences in the information derived by the two sensor types, particularly in terms of season length, phenology changepoints, and leaf period variability. TT+ with its higher temporal resolution demonstrates precision in capturing the phenological changepoints, especially when satellite image availability is limited.
