An evaluation of translocation as a tool to reduce burrowing owl collisions at airports by Eduardo G. Santos, Helga C. Wiederhecker, Ricardo B. Machado

“…We explored the translocation process, focusing on 3 aspects: 1) the influence of landscape structure on the persistence time of translocated animals at the released sites, 2) the influence of the release distance from the source on the return of translocated animals, and 3) the strike rate involving the species at the capture site at Brasília International Airport (BSB). …”

Nearshore regional behavior of lightning interaction with wind turbines by Gilbert A. Malinga, John M. Niedzwecki

“…The annual lightning strike rate on a wind turbine along the nearshore region on the Sea of Japan during the winter season was shown to be moderately larger compared to the lightning strike frequency on a turbine structure on the East Coast of China. …”

Monitoring of Marine Mammal Strandings Along French Coasts Reveals the Importance of Ship Strikes on Large Cetaceans: A Challenge for the European Marine Strategy Framework Directi... by Hélène Peltier, Hélène Peltier, Alain Beaufils, Catherine Cesarini, Willy Dabin, Cécile Dars, Cécile Dars, Fabien Demaret, Fabien Demaret, Frank Dhermain, Ghislain Doremus, Hélène Labach, Olivier Van Canneyt, Jérôme Spitz

“…However, estimation of ship strike rates is still challenging notably because such events occurred generally far offshore and collision between large ships and whales go often unnoticed by ship crew. …”

Provider Discretion and Variation in Resource Allocation: The Case of Triage Decisions by Chan, David C., Gruber, Jonathan

“…Using quasi-random assignment to ED, we find a striking rate of “inversions,” where patients who are sicker based on either ex ante information or ex post outcomes are scored as sicker and wait longer than their healthier counterparts.…”

Ship-strike forecast and mitigation for whales in Gitga’at First Nation territory by EM Keen, É O’Mahony, LM Nichol, BM Wright, C Shine, B Hendricks, H Meuter, HM Alidina, J Wray

“…Here we predict ship-strike rates for fin whales Balaenoptera physalus and humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae in the central territorial waters of the Gitga’at First Nation (British Columbia, Canada), which face increases in existing marine traffic as well as new liquified natural gas (LNG) shipping in the next decade. …”

There is more than one way to crack an oyster : identifying variation in Burmese long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis aurea) stone-tool use by Tan, Amanda, Tan, Say Hoon, Vyas, Dhaval, Malaivijitnond, Suchinda, Gumert, Michael David

“…Point hammering was significantly more associated with sessile foods, smaller tools, faster striking rates, smoother recoil, unimanual use, and more varied striking direction, than were face and edge hammering, while both point and edge hammering were significantly more associated with precision gripping than face hammering. …”
