Global review of induced earthquakes in oil and gas production fields by Jie Zhang, Wenhuan Kuang, Xiong Zhang, Chengkang Mo, Dongxiao Zhang

“…The conclusion is that the gas production induced the earthquake (ML3.6) in 2012, which significantly caused damage in the local area; (4) In Sichuan shale gas production field, China, studies suggest that both the long-term injection of wastewater and short-term shale gas hydraulic fracturing correlate with the increasing seismicity, there have been different views on the cause of sizable earthquakes (ML5.7, 5.3) occurring in late 2018 and early 2019 in the shale gas production area. Studying induced seismicity due to industry activities has been one of the major efforts and become a research field in the scientific community. …”

Reproductive behavior drives female space use in a sedentary Neotropical frog by Marie-Therese Fischer, Max Ringler, Eva Ringler, Andrius Pašukonis

“…This gap is especially striking for species that show long-term site fidelity and display their whole behavioral repertoire in a small area. Studying fine-scale movement with conventional capture-mark-recapture techniques is difficult in inconspicuous amphibians: individuals are hard to find, repeated captures might affect their behavior and the number of data points is too low to allow a detailed interpretation of individual space use and time budgeting. …”
