Combining detection dogs and camera traps improves minimally-invasive population monitoring for the cheetah, an elusive and rare large carnivore by Verschueren, S, Hofmann, T, Schmidt-Küntzel, A, Kakove, M, Munyandi, B, Bauer, H, Balkenhol, N, Leirs, H, Neumann, S, Cristescu, B, Marker, L

“…The detection probability (p) of cheetahs with one camera trap station per sampling unit placed at roads was low (p = 0.167), but increased for camera traps placed at marking sites that were identified through the detection dog survey (p = 0.244), and in particular when multiple camera trap stations were placed per sampling unit and detections were pooled across stations (p = 0.348 - 0.750). …”

First cycle voltage hysteresis in Li-rich 3d cathodes associated with molecular O2 trapped in the bulk by House, RA, Rees, G, Perez-Osorio, M, Marie, J-J, Boivin, E, Robertson, A, Nag, A, Garcia-Fernandez, M, Zhou, K-J, Bruce, P

“…The implication is that O2, trapped in the bulk and lost from the surface, can explain O-redox.…”
