The Eurasian Magpie Preys on the Nests of Vinous‐throated Parrotbills in Invasive Smooth Cordgrass by Yanhong Chen, Youle Xu, Junjie Wang, Taiyu Chen, Bin Liu, Pan Chen, Changhu Lu

“…Our previous research found that in the Yellow Sea wetlands of China, the native bird species, the vinous‐throated parrotbill (Sinosuthora webbiana), has adapted to breeding in the invasive smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) by increasing its nesting height. Here, our observations indicate that in cordgrass habitats, the main nest predator of parrotbills was the Eurasian magpie (Pica pica), accounting for 75% of predation events. …”

A regional augmented PPP algorithm for offshore considering NWP by Ying Xu, Xiangdan Meng, Jianhui Cui, Lin Ma

“…Considering the availability of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data at sea, we propose a regional augmented PPP algorithm that integrates tropospheric delays derived from NWP virtual grid points and the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network observations. Land and marine experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of this algorithm, evaluating ZTD interpolation accuracy and PPP positioning performance. …”
