Large numbers of bats are killed by collisions with wind turbines, and there is at present no direct method of reducing or preventing this mortality.We therefore determine whether the electromagnetic radiation associated with radar installations can elicit an aversive behavioural response in foraging bats.Four civil air traffic control (ATC) radar
A list of lichens from areas of zinc-lead ores in Southern Poland and a review of the characteristic lichen biota of these sites is provided.In spite of the Shorts devastated and heavy metal contaminated environment, a highly diverse epigeic and epilithic lichen biota was found, including species characteristic of various anthropogenic habitats, pa
The equilibrium magnetization configurations and the associated microwave susceptibility spectra of dipolar coupled nanoplatelets are explored using three-dimensional (3D) micromagnetic simulations.First, the case of periodic arrangements of nanoplatelets on square arrays is considered.As a result, a macro-vortex state defined as a flux closure pat
