![]() ![]() Maybe it makes sense to put those boxes in shaded locations,” Karp says. “Farmers often build nest boxes to attract birds to their farms and help control insect pests. Keeping shade may also be needed to maintain bird populations living in urban and agricultural areas. ![]() The study suggests that curtailing emissions and promoting thermal refuges, either by planting or maintaining patches of natural vegetation, are likely crucial to conserving birds. By the year 2100, their models predicted that nesting success in agricultural areas would decline by an additional 5% on average under current greenhouse gas emission trajectories. The study also paints a picture of what the future may look like. “This suggests that species already in decline may have an even greater difficulty rearing young in the future as heat waves become more common and more land is converted to agriculture.” What’s ahead for bird reproduction? “The nearly 50% decline in nesting success that we saw on average jumps to 70% when we consider species of higher conservation concern,” Karp says. Threatened birds and birds that build open-cup nests, which lack any covering, were even more vulnerable to heat waves in farming areas compared to common species and those that build their nests in tree holes and nest boxes. “We see these strong effects in common and habitat generalist birds, which we often think of as more resilient to land use change and climate change,” Lauck says. Negative impacts were broadly felt across all bird species studied, with western bluebirds and tree swallows, two species common on farms, both experiencing significant declines in nesting success when temperatures spiked in agricultural areas. ![]() The researchers also studied which types of species were most vulnerable to heat waves in agriculture. The researchers analyzed more than 152,000 nesting records featuring nearly 60 bird species that were nesting in farms, forests, grasslands, and developed areas across the country during the span of 23 years (1998-2020). “With these data, we could begin to unravel how climate change and habitat loss are together affecting many North American birds.” “What is really unique about this dataset is that we could look at bird reproduction at a very broad spatial scale,” Karp says. They analyzed data from NestWatch, an initiative created by Cornell University’s Laboratory of Ornithology, where people from across the country monitor bird nests near them and use an app to record information on types of bird species, nest locations, number of eggs laid, baby bird activity, and more. Farms, forests, and grasslandsĭaniel Karp, associate professor in the wildlife, fish and conservation biology department, launched this project with his students to keep the lab in contact during the COVID-19 pandemic. “This suggests that places like backyards and parks may provide important bird habitat that is somewhat more buffered from climate extremes in the future,” Lauck says. When the researchers looked at how heat waves affected nesting success in urban areas, the researchers found less of a negative impact than in agriculture, probably because nests were often in city parks and residential areas that can have high tree cover. “The effects of heat are more intense for birds nesting in agriculture than birds nesting in forest, which means that canopy cover probably constitutes an important climate refuge for birds that can thrive in various habitats,” says Katherine Lauck, a PhD candidate in ecology at the University of California, Davis and co-lead author. However, forests seemed to provide a protective buffer against high temperatures, offering shaded areas that helped increase nesting success. The findings shed light on how climate change can combine with habitat loss to affect bird reproduction across the United States.Īs reported in Science, birds nesting near farmland were half as likely to have at least one fledgling successfully leave the nest when temperatures spiked. Researchers found that the effects of extreme temperatures on avian reproduction can vary depending on the type of environment that birds call home. While climate change is just one of the many factors influencing North American birds, its effects are significant and can interact with other stressors, such as habitat loss.

Maybe I'll have finished playing through the Definitive Edition by then.ĭivinity 2: Definitive Edition will be launching on August 31st, and will be a free update for anyone with the original version, along with the Squirrel Knight DLC. Considering their track record so far, and the fact that Adam is now among their writing crew, I cannot wait to see what they have next. The company now runs four whole studios around the world (including one in Ireland that swallowed up Adam), and the company is hiring for multiple game projects that have yet to be formally announced. The Definitive Edition is far from Larian's only project now. While visuals are staying the same, the soundtrack is getting some extra love, with each of the pre-made main characters having their own personal theme that evolves over the course of the game, and can be heard in a few key locations. On the aesthetic front, while the game won't be getting any prettier (it was nice enough to look at already), squeezing the game down onto consoles has led to a lot of optimisation tweaking and tuning, meaning that hitting 60fps or higher on PC is going to be easier than ever. Here's hoping he'll be usable in GM mode. ![]() While he sadly doesn't engage in combat (he's a squirrel), he does keep pace atop his skeletal cat steed. He's on a grand (and potentially very silly) quest to save the world from the coming of the Great Acorn. Sir Lora the Squirrel Knight is a new NPC who wants to recruit you to his cause, although you'll need the Pet Pal perk to communicate with him. There is one chunk of entirely new content on its way, coming as a bit of free DLC for existing owners, and those who pre-order it on consoles. The frequently-criticised quest journal has also been overhauled and heavily rewritten, giving you a much better idea of where you are and what you're meant to be doing. To ease new folks into the (admittedly very complex) web of systems that make up Original Sin 2, the tutorial-filled ship you start on has gained a whole new deck to explore, full of new characters to interact with and lessons to learn before you're unceremoniously dumped onto the shores of Fort Joy. It's not just the ending of the game that's getting an overhaul. They've also restructured it somewhat, improving some old fights and adding some entirely new battles, including a proper boss fight against the Kraken, as seen up top. It's undergone a major rewrite (and re-record of spoken dialogue) to flesh out motivations, and the Tag system's usage has been ramped up so that you can make more character-appropriate decisions during the final stretch. The biggest changes to the game are coming in its fourth and final act the City of Arx, with the endgame section and epilogue having seen probably the most comprehensive changes. Today they detailed most of the big changes in this Kickstarter update and the video within. This isn't just a little bit of spit n' polish work, but a major rewrite of large chunks of the game, an across-the-board rebalance, and even some brand new things to see making a return to Rivellon at the end of August all the more tempting. Not content with blowing everyone's socks off last year with Divinity: Original Sin 2 (see Adam's rightfully gushing review here), Larian Studios are putting in some serious man-hours on improving it for the upcoming Definitive Edition re-launch. ![]() ![]() ![]() Doctor Watson’s kit – or bits of modern office furniture (12) (Biddlecombe, 2009)Ĭhoices in anagram solving – it’s a personal decisionīut there’s more to the psychology of anagram solving than misdirection, and research suggests a few ways we might get better at setting and solving anagram clues.Tube taken to theatre for three-act play (8) (Aarons, 2015).As for rebus clue types and riddles/puns, this is because the solver has to relax the ingrained rules of reading in order to overcome their automatic understanding of the text, allowing a new interpretation of the problem to unfold. ![]() Because of the level of misdirection in the surface reading, and the heavy disguise of the clue components, we’d expect these better crafted anagrams to trigger the Penny Drop Moment (PDM) much more successfully.

Anagram clues typically contain both the letters to be rearranged, and some type of adjacent indicator signalling that they need to be jumbled to form a new word. Often thought of as an easy way into a crossword, anagram clues are a staple of cryptic crosswords. Maybe you, too, scan the list of clues hoping for an anagram clue or two? In the third part of our ‘explainer’ series, Kathryn Friedlander takes a look at the psychology behind this popular clue form.

At least tie up the loose ends just don't leave cliff hangers and don't stop in the middle of the story and go onto another storyline. Which is what I've been critical about when it comes to AQW when they make Storylines. They just stopped the storyline in the middle of the story and never return to it. They started some Storylines back in 2013 and never finished them or even tied up the lose ends. And some Storylines the AQW Dev's start and just forget about and never finish. But it'd be nice to see big storylines more often. And it takes less then 5 mins to complete most storylines since they make short stories every week since that's just what AQW does. If they made better stories maybe people would come back. ![]() The AQW Devs lost their touch in telling Stories in this game. But back in 2010-2013 it was during the Chaos Saga and during the Dage vs Nulgath Wars. Do I still say AQW is a good game? As of today No. ![]() (But this is usually common in most MMO's) but it's usually worse on AQW since mostly 4,000 people or so play this game so you run into bullies more often in AQW then you do in other MMO's. And the people who are high level and have rare items and ingame membership usually make fun of new players. Otherwise I'd say this game is still alright. AQW lost it's touch when it comes to story telling after the Chaos Saga ended. I used to play this game during 2013 when this game was at it's peak it used to have 8,000 to 10,000 people on at best. And in most of the rooms in the game people are usually afking (away from keyboard) or cheating by botting in the quests. Why? As of now there's probably 4,000 people or so on the game's servers at best and that's just during peak hours. ![]() ![]() No Linking or Cross-posting to Other Subreddits This is not about trying to exclude anyone, it is simply that if you are related to Gamestop, the merchandising bots target you.
