Chronic Noise Exposure has Context-dependent Effects on Nestling Stress Physiology in Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)

, 2020
Anthropogenic noise is increasing in intensity and scope, resulting in changes to acoustic landscapes and largely negative effects on a range of species.

From patterns to predictions: a framework for the spatial epidemiology of wildlife diseases

Ecography, EarlyView.
Wildlife diseases pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, public health, and livestock. Spatial epidemiology provides a robust framework to understand disease dynamics and guide policy and management. However, the rapid proliferation of spatial methods has largely occurred in isolation across disciplines, leaving the field without a ...

Origin of Physicochemical and Mechanical Stability of Low‐Temperature Prepared TiO2‐Based Photocatalytic Films: Surface Hydroxyl Density Matching

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Material science advances show how surface chemistry improves low‐temperature prepared TiO2‐SiO2 composite films. Using a colloidal‐based synthesis method instead of a powdered‐based one, researchers exploit hydroxyl groups' interfacial interactions to create nanoscale structures with superior physicochemical and mechanical stability.

The Role of Trade Unions in Environmental Governance: Exploring Workers Legitimacy Judgments

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade unions are increasingly expected to play a role in sustainability transitions, but their legitimacy as environmental governance actors remains underexplored. Our study uses a multidimensional framework to examine how workers, both union members and non‐members, evaluate trade union legitimacy “from below.” This framework distinguishes ...

Optimizing feather hydrolysate via machine learning for microbial recycling of waste concrete fines

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The concrete industry faces significant challenges from CO2 emissions and the disposal of waste concrete fines (WCF). Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) can bind WCF into bioconcrete, but the high cost of commercial culture media hinders its application.

Evidence-informed conservation policies: Mitigating vessel noise within gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) foraging habitat in British Columbia, Canada [graduate project].

, 2016
Anthropogenic noise is increasing within our oceans from growing human use. This rise in the ambient soundscape of the marine environment is increasing pressure on the life processes and health of marine animals. Cetaceans rely on the use sound for their

Frequent, Intense and Prolonged Human‐Perceived Heat Waves Over the Arabian Peninsula in Recent Decades

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The spatial distribution of WBGT exhibits a widespread and significant warming trend across the Arabian Peninsula (AP), with, particularly, strong increases observed over the central and northern inland and eastern coastal regions of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, where trends exceed ~0.25°C decade−1.

Representation of Long‐Term Observed UK Winter Precipitation Trends and Variability in UKCP18 Global Climate Models

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Evaluating historical precipitation trends is complicated by interactions between variability in atmospheric circulation and thermodynamic forcing. This study assesses 1901–2023 UK winter precipitation trends in UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) global climate models using dynamical adjustment to separate circulation‐driven and non‐dynamical ...

The impact of anthropogenic activities on Desmarest, 1822 (Mammalia: Pholidota: Manidae) in Sepanggar Hill, Malaysia

Journal of Threatened Taxa
The Sunda Pangolin, also known as Manis javanica Desmarest, 1822 (Pholidota: Manidae), is the only pangolin species found in Malaysia. This species is ‘Critically Endangered’ as per the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and is among the most heavily ...
