Do you have enough space? Habitat selection of insectivorous cave-dwelling bats in fragmented landscapes of Eastern Amazon. by Valéria da C Tavares, Mariane S Ribeiro, Xavier Prous, Alice A Notini, Nathalia Y Kaku-Oliveira, Leandro M D Maciel, Sérgio Sales, Juliana M Longo, Flávia M Evangelista, Lucas Rabelo, Iuri V Brandi, Santelmo S Vasconcelos, Sonia S Talamoni, Guilherme Oliveira, Leonardo C Trevelin

“…We investigated habitat selection by cave bats in a mosaic of Amazonian forests, iron-rich savannas and iron-caves, studying the movements of the aerial insect-catcher Furipterus horrens (Furipteridae) and of the foliage gleaning bat Lonchorhina aurita (Phyllostomidae), both cave-dependent in the area. We used radio telemetry to assess their use of habitats, under the prediction that these species prefer preserved habitats for their foraging bouts, avoiding human-modified habitats. …”

Ionospheric Nowcasting Over Italy Through Data Assimilation: A Synergy Between IRI UP and IONORING by Alessio Pignalberi, Claudio Cesaroni, Marco Pietrella, Michael Pezzopane, Luca Spogli, Carlo Marcocci, Emanuele Pica

“…This approach involves updating the IRI F2‐layer peak electron density description through ionospheric indices, to finally produce real‐time maps over Italy of the ordinary critical frequency of the F2‐layer, foF2, which is crucial for radio‐propagation applications. The IRI UP–IONORING method performance has been evaluated against different climatological and nowcasting models, and under different Space Weather conditions, by showing promising outcomes which encourages its inclusion in the portfolio of ionospheric real‐time products available over Italy. …”

IMT to Satellite Stochastic Interference Modeling and Coexistence Analysis of Upper 6 GHz-Band Service by Reza Aghazadeh Ayoubi, Dario Tagliaferri, Filippo Morandi, Luca Rinaldi, Laura Resteghini, Christian Mazzucco, Umberto Spagnolini

“…The surging capacity demands of 5G networks and the limited coverage distance of high frequencies like millimeter-wave (mmW) and sub-terahertz (THz) bands have led to consider the upper 6 GHz (U6G) spectrum for radio access. However, due to the presence of the existing satellite (SAT) services in these bands, it is crucial to evaluate the impact of the interference of terrestrial U6G stations to SAT systems. …”
