Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Dynamic monitoring and restorability evaluation of alpine wetland in the eastern edge of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation
Accurate monitoring of alpine wetland areas and scientific evaluation of alpine wetland restorability play important roles in revealing the changing mechanism of the ecological environment. However, because of the complexity and lack of spatial data, few

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Biogeography of Atlantic Salmon in the Cape Breton Highlands, Canada

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations have experienced significant declines in recent decades. In Canada, conservation efforts are divided into 16 designatable units (DUs) to address unique regional challenges among genetically distinct populations.

Bacterial diversity and community assembly mechanisms in alpine wetland soils under the influence of grazing

Microbiology Spectrum
Wetlands are among the world’s most significant ecosystems. Studying how different grazing intensities affect soil bacterial diversity and community assembly in alpine wetlands is crucial for their sustainable management.

Neutral interactions among non‐native plants are common

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Global distribution of studies and overall effect of co‐invasion for all metrics of non‐native plant performance combined. Summary Globalization has accelerated the establishment of non‐native plant species, increasing the prevalence of multispecies co‐invasions; yet interactions among co‐invaders remain poorly understood.

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.
