Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Using 25–30 cm Umbra synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery combined with ground validation of our observations, we introduce a method to track the phenology of emperor penguins during the Antarctic winter. We successfully identified events in the breeding cycle, which were previously impossible to observe during the complete darkness of Antarctic ...

Enhanced Biocatalysis in Nanofluidic Membrane Reactors With Goldilocks Nanopores for Enzymes
Small, EarlyView.We show that enzyme confinement within the three‐dimensionally interconnected nanochannels of a polyurea molecular network membrane, featuring pore‐size tunability to match the enzyme size, enables a highly active nanofluidic reactor platform. Stable continuous‐flow operation for >200 h and a 30 000‐fold increase in specific space‐time yield over ...

Field immobilisation of adult Weddell seals using intramuscular butorphanol and midazolam
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background When working with free‐ranging phocid seals, methods of chemical immobilisation require ongoing refinement to reduce complications, particularly apnoea, during research procedures. Methods Adult Weddell seals (n = 20) at Cape Crozier, Antarctica, were chemically immobilised with intramuscular injection of butorphanol and midazolam ...

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract Many waterfowl species and closely related congeners are shared across the Holarctic, and are culturally and economically important in both North America and Europe. Accordingly, both continents have developed science and management frameworks in an attempt to establish evidence‐based conservation practices for this guild of birds.

Lichen bleaching as a response to long‐term experimental warming in the High Arctic
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Lichens are an important component of Arctic ecosystems. Studies have indicated a decline in the abundance of Arctic lichens during recent decades, which is often attributed to competitive pressure from vascular plants.

Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...
