Climate change has increased heatwave frequency, duration, and intensity globally, which is expected to worsen under warmer conditions. Understanding heatwave variabilities is crucial for the ecosystem and human health they impact, yet comprehensive assessments over China at different spatiotemporal scales remain limited. This study evaluates 12 NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections' CMIP6 (NEX‐GDDP‐CMIP6) do...

The underwater hexapod robot has advantages such as lower energy consumption and reduced environmental interference compared to ROVs and AUVs. The foot-end contact detection with the seabed is the key technology for adapting to complex terrains. This paper focuses on the ‘Dragon Crab’ underwater hexapod robot developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and proposes an indirect detection method that does not require foot-end con...

The breeding success of birds is crucial for their survival and development, with nest features and nest-site selection playing a significant role in the reproductive process. This study investigated the nest features of the giant babax, the key environmental factors influencing its nest-site selection, and the factors affecting its reproductive success. We conducted field research at four sample plots in Lhasa, Xizang, from M...
