Climate-Driven Environmental Change Reshapes Predator-Prey Dynamics in Africa

Although the main prey of spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), migratory ungulates such as blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), now spend substantially less time within hyena territories than they did 30 years ago, hyena clans in the central Serengeti have remained largely stable.

Optimizing Vehicle Grille Design for High-Efficiency Roadside Air Purification

An air-purifying vehicle technology has been developed that removes fine particulate matter from surrounding air while driving and captures brake wear particles before they are released. The technology uses the vehicle's existing structure to purify roadside air and directly capture brake wear particles at the source.
