The article discusses a late December sighting of Sympetrum corruptum (Variegated Meadowhawk) on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, which is unusual due to the species typically not flying in the region between mid-November and mid-April. The observation occurred during a bird survey, with the dragonflies spotted near the ocean shoreline in an area dominated by Douglas-fir and grand fir trees. The sighting is significant as it represents the first report of adult odonates active in December in western Canada, with similar late-season records also noted in the nearby United States.

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), due to its flexibility, safety, and other characteristics, has been widely used in various marine applications such as underwater mapping, marine ecological monitoring and marine scientific. When navigating in complex and ever-changing ocean currents, one of the key challenges in AUV control is how to effectively avoid unknown obstacles such as sunken ships and reefs, and plan the route to reach the target point. In this paper, based on partially measured ocean current velocities, the Navier–Stokes equations (N–S equations) are used to characterize the ocean current velocities within a small-scale region. Furthermore, the improved artificial potential field method is used for path planning after integrating the velocity information. Simulation and experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm is better suited to complex marine environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes advancements towards the creation of the Internet of biological things and introduces a paper that introduces one such milestone. Biological systems, such as bees and dandelions, exhibit remarkable capabilities like efficient energy use and long-range seed dispersal, which current IoT and embedded systems cannot match. Recent advancements aim to bridge this gap by developing tiny, bio-integrated devices like mSAIL, a lightweight sensor capable of tracking monarch butterflies over long distances using innovative methods like neural network-based location estimation. This research represents a significant step toward creating a network of bio-inspired devices that could transform fields such as environmental monitoring and healthcare by harnessing the strengths of biological systems.

Japan's fishing sector is facing challenges after China implemented a ban on seafood imports in response to the release of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. China and Hong Kong are the largest importers of Japanese seafood, accounting for 40% of Japan's total seafood exports. The ban has caused a significant decline in seafood sales to China, leading to oversupply and declining value in the fishing industry. The scallop sector has been particularly affected, with prices falling across three prefectures. The Japanese government has announced emergency rescue measures and plans to pressure China to lift the ban through diplomatic channels. The government is also considering submitting a complaint to the World Trade Organization. The fishing community is concerned about reputational damage from the wastewater release, but TEPCO, the operator of the power plant, claims that the released water meets safety standards. The International Atomic Energy Agency and other countries will conduct independent environmental monitoring around the site. TEPCO plans to release 2.3% of the stored water by the end of fiscal year 2023. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses how the construction industry's significant environmental impact has spurred a shift towards low-carbon alternatives, driven by increasing awareness of climate change and stricter environmental regulations. Topics include the rising costs associated with eco-friendly materials, the role of renewable energy in sustainable construction, and the willingness of industry stakeholders to invest in sustainable options.

Density estimates for animal populations often inform conservation and management decisions. Many methods to estimate animal density exist but deciding between competing alternatives traditionally has depended upon assessing multiple factors (e.g., precision, total cost, area sampled) independently and often in an ad hoc manner. Cost‐effectiveness analysis is a tool that economists use to decide objectively between competing alternatives. We extend cost‐effectiveness analysis to simultaneously integrate precision and per‐area cost of sampling when selecting between competing techniques used to estimate animal density both after a single application of a method and across several applications of capital equipment. Our extension allows for weighting of factors that may vary with the objectives and constraints of decision makers. We apply our extension of cost‐effectiveness analysis to a case study in which population density of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was estimated in 3 large management units in Indiana, USA, using 3 competing distance‐sampling methods: fecal‐pellet, camera‐trap, and aerial sampling. The unweighted cost effectiveness of aerial sampling with color and infrared sensors was usually superior after a single application of each method and was always superior across several applications in differing landscapes. Pellet sampling was the most cost effective after a single application of each method in an agriculturally‐dominated management unit. Although camera sampling has increased in popularity, the cost effectiveness of camera sampling was poorer than the other 2 methods, even when allowing for potential future innovations to streamline data processing. Cost‐effectiveness analysis can be useful when selecting among competing methods for monitoring animal populations of conservation and management importance. The same principles used in our cost‐effectiveness analysis can be used to decide between competing alternatives related to any ecological monitoring in addition to density estimation.
