Systematic Integration of Energy-Optimal Buildings With District Networks by Raluca Suciu, Paul Stadler, Ivan Kantor, Luc Girardin, François Maréchal

“…The canton is used as a case study to analyse the penetration of low temperature, CO₂-based, advanced fourth generation district energy networks with population density. The results reveal that only areas with a piping cost lower than 21.5 k€/100 m²_ERA connect to the low-temperature network in the intermediate scenarios, while all areas must connect to achieve the minimum operating cost result. …”

Role of landscape features in resource selection by female Greater Prairie-chickens within a constrained environment by Jacquelyn M. Gehrt, Derek A. Moon, Shawn C. Stratton, David A. Haukos

“…Kansas supports a relatively large abundance of Greater Prairie-chickens, where the Flint Hills ecoregion historically supported the largest population density of all ecoregions. In the past decade, the Flint Hills population has declined by 75 % to an estimated 8,334 individuals in 2021 from 34,180 individuals in 2015 due to landscape changes and intensification of grassland management practices. …”

Study on the Spatiotemporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of Forest Coverage Rate (FCR): A Case Study on Yunnan Province Based on Remote Sensing Image Interpretation by Renyi Yang, Yimei He, Changbiao Zhong, Zisheng Yang, Xian Wang, Mingjun Xu, Linlin Cao

“…The analysis of influencing factors show that the increases in the per capita GDP, land utilization rate, and annual average temperature, and the implementation of the Conversion of Cultivated Land into Forest Project (CCFP) will significantly improve the FCR, while the increases in the population density land reclamation rate, the proportion of construction land area, and the proportion of soil erosion land area will significantly reduce the FCR. …”

Common but differentiated leadership: strategies and challenges for carbon neutrality by 2050 across industrialized economies by Felix Schreyer, Gunnar Luderer, Renato Rodrigues, Robert C Pietzcker, Lavinia Baumstark, Masahiro Sugiyama, Robert J Brecha, Falko Ueckerdt

“…Regional characteristics are mostly related to different land availability, population density and population trends: While Japan is resource limited with respect to onshore wind and solar power and has constrained options for carbon dioxide removal (CDR), their declining population significantly decreases future energy demand. …”

Transcriptomic analysis of the adaptation to prolonged starvation of the insect-dwelling Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes by Pablo Smircich, Pablo Smircich, Leticia Pérez-Díaz, Fabricio Hernández, María Ana Duhagon, María Ana Duhagon, Beatriz Garat

“…The insect-feeding behavior, characterized by few meals of large blood amounts followed by long periods of starvation, impacts the parasite population density and differentiation, increasing the transitional forms while diminishing both epimastigotes and metacyclic trypomastigotes. …”

Distribution range contractions and identification of conservation priority areas for canids in Sichuan Province, China by Wancai Xia, Cyril C. Grueter, Chao Zhang, Hongfei Zhuang, Jie Hu, Ali Krzton, Dayong Li

“…Concerning environmental variables, our results suggest that altitude, dd＜18 (degree-days below 18 °C, heating degree-days), LUCC (land use), and human population density contributed the most to patterns of canid distribution between the 1970s and 2010s. …”
