Open‐source workflow approaches to passive acoustic monitoring of bats by Signe M. M. Brinkløv, Jamie Macaulay, Christian Bergler, Jakob Tougaard, Kristian Beedholm, Morten Elmeros, Peter Teglberg Madsen

“…Abstract The affordability, storage and power capacity of compact modern recording hardware have evolved passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of animals and soundscapes into a non‐invasive, cost‐effective tool for research and ecological management particularly useful for bats and toothed whales that orient and forage using ultrasonic echolocation. …”

Identification and tentative removal of collagen glue in Palaeolithic worked bone objects: implications for ZooMS and radiocarbon dating by L. G. van der Sluis, K. McGrath, F. Thil, S. Cersoy, J.-M. Pétillon, A. Zazzo

“…Palaeolithic bone objects from old excavations intended for radiocarbon dating were first analysed using ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) to identify the animal species, however peaks characteristic of both cattle and whale were discovered. Two extraction methods for ZooMS were tested to identify the authentic animal species of these objects, which revealed that these were originally whale bone objects that had been consolidated with cattle collagen glue. …”

Nature’s Social Union: Re-Reading Anthropomorphism in Poetry About Animals by Thomas Pughe

“…Three canonical poems exploring the relations between humans and animals have been chosen for closer analysis: Robert Burns’s “To a Mouse”, Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Black Cat” (“Schwarze Katze”) and Ted Hughes’s “Little Whale Song.” This corpus roughly corresponds to the rise of modern science, through the 19th and 20th centuries. …”

The Convincing Ground, Portland Bay, Victoria, Australia: An Exploration of the Controversy Surrounding its Onomastic History by Ian D. Clark

“…This analysis supports the alternative narrative that the toponym has its origin in a dispute between whalers and Aborigines over possession of a beached whale. Furthermore, Connor failed to consider the possibility that the phrase “convincing ground” is polysemous, which means that we should not expect to find a singular homogenous explanation or application in the literature. …”

THE FICTION OF TIM WINTON: RELATIONAL ECOLOGY IN AN UNSETTLED LAND by Lyn McCredden

“…Winton’s characters - Queenie Cookson and her traumatic witnessing of the barbaric capture and flaying of whales; Fish Lamb’s near-drowning in the sea, and Lu Fox’s quest for refuge in the wilderness, prophet-like, after the tragedy of his family’s death - are all written with a haunting sense of white unsettlement and displacement, where such natural forces – the sea and its creatures, the land’s distances and risks – confront and re-form the would-be dominators.…”

Parameter Extraction of Solar Module Using the Sooty Tern Optimization Algorithm by Abha Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Shailendra Rajput, Amit Kumar Mondal, Amarnath Bose, Mangey Ram

“…The simulation findings were compared to four pre-existing optimization algorithms: sine cosine (SCA) algorithm, gravitational search algorithm (GSA), hybrid particle swarm optimization and gravitational search algorithm (PSOGSA), and whale optimization (WOA). The convergence rate and root mean square error evaluations show that the STO method surpasses the other studied optimization techniques. …”
