Hard forest edges act as conduits, not filters, for bats by Matina C. Kalcounis‐Rueppell, Kim M. Briones, Jessica A. Homyack, Radmila Petric, Matthew M. Marshall, Darren A. Miller

“…ABSTRACT High levels of bat activity have been reported at forest edges worldwide, but few studies have examined the ecological function of edges as a linear landscape feature. Patterns of association of bats at edges between old and young forest stands (hard edges) could be a result of edges acting as either a semi‐permeable barrier or a filter to movement into the forest between different‐aged forest stands for bats (or their insect prey), causing an accumulation of bat activity along the edge. …”

STYLISTIC MEANS OF IMPLEMENTING THE IDEA OF THE WORLD’S IRIDESCENCE IN PH.K. DICK’S “UBIK” IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSLATION TRANSFORMATIONS by Svitlana F. Aleksenko, Larysa I. Taranenko

“…The idea of the world’s iridescence in the novel is brought about by the literary work’s fluctuating plot convolutions stemming from seemingly incoherent planes of different sections of the novel: a mosaic of the primary diegesis together with several hypo-diegeses comes across as a kind of an ontic hazy maze building up to an overall effect of the world’s fluidity and oscillation. …”
