Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land-cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot, especially for medium to large-sized species.

Design: A prospective quasi-experimental program evaluation is used.
Materials And Methods: Medical providers taught running gait form to groups of trainees in the first week of training of BMT from August 2020 to March 2021.
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides offer a fascinating platform for creating van der Waals heterojunctions with exciting physical properties. Because of their typical type-II band alignment, photoexcited electrons and holes can separate interfacial charge transfer. Furthermore, the relative crystallographic alignment of the individual layers in these heterostructures represents an important degree of freedom.

Due to their type-II band alignment, photoexcited electrons and holes can separate into different layers through ultrafast charge transfer. While this charge-transfer process is critical for potential applications, the underlying mechanisms still remain elusive.

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have shown promise for various applications in optoelectronics and so-called valleytronics. Their operation and performance strongly depend on the stacking of individual layers. Here, optical second-harmonic generation in imaging mode is shown to be a versatile tool for systematic time-resolved investigations of TMD monolayers and heterostructures in consideration of the material's structure.
