Abstract Retention of habitat trees is a common biodiversity conservation practice in continuous cover forests temperate Europe. Commonly, living are selected on the basis their tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) such as cavities or crown deadwood. Owing to increasing frequency and intensity climate change-related disturbances, particular expected experience increased mortality rates. This may ...

Background: Liminality brings confusion among children as they cannot progress to the next stage of life, neither could regress their previous state events. The situation is precarious for socioeconomic deprived in Africa it cast aspersion on career, health and well-being. study, therefore, examines experiences’ who were supposed be school but observed working at informal market space Africa. M...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness McKenzie's approach versus Mulligan's mobilization with common use interferential therapy in management Lumbar disc prolapse. Thirty (30) individuals; aged between 20 45 years, presenting prolapse inter vertebral symptom duration within one month, were randomized into two groups. Group-A received McKenzie and Group B Mulligan therapy. t...

Contemporary urbanization appears as a conundrum especially in developing nations. This study will act as an accelerator to spill out snags caused by urbanization with a new approach in the development of sustainable infrastructure through Public–Private Partnerships (3Ps). This study first explains the complications generated by rapid urbanization in different infrastructural sectors in South ...

In areas where fire regimes and forest structure have been dramatically altered, there is increasing concern that contemporary fires have the potential to set forests on a positive feedback trajectory with successive reburns, one in which extensive stand-replacing fire could promote more stand-replacing fire. Our study utilized an extensive set of field plots established following four fires th...

Deadwood plays important roles in forest ecosystems by storing carbon, influencing hydrology, and provisioning countless organisms. Models for these processes often assume that deadwood does not move and ignore redistribution that occurs when trees fall. To evaluate the effects of treefall, we provide the first direct estimates for the magnitude, direction, and drivers of deadwood movement in a...

In summer, many temperate bat species use daytime torpor, but breeding females do so less to avoid interferences with reproduction. In forest-roosting bats, deep tree cavities buffer roost microclimate from abrupt temperature oscillations and facilitate thermoregulation. Forest bats also switch roosts frequently, so thermally suitable cavities may be limiting. We tested how barbastelle bats (Ba...

We evaluated the efficacy of different field sampling approaches for volunteers sampling macroinvertebrates in low-gradient streams. We used a series of analytical metrics to compare results using the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) multihabitat, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency multihabitat, and EPA single-habitat sampling protocols. We also investigated the effect of 2 scenarios i...

Large-scale experimentalmanipulations of deadwood are needed to better understand its importance to animal communities in managed forests. In this experiment, we compared the abundance, species richness, diversity, and composition of arthropods in 9.3-ha plots in which either (1) all coarse woody debris was removed, (2) a large number of logs were added, (3) a large number of snags were added, ...
