Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...

A lightweight clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video system for monitoring fish in turbid coastal wetlands

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video systems (CLOC‐BRUV) are an effective option for assessing fish assemblages in turbid water, but current designs are limited by their large size and high operational costs. We developed a lightweight CLOC‐BRUV unit and evaluated its performance through proof‐of‐concept trials and field

Quantifying temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions in lake mesocosms: Deployment of a low‐cost measurement system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from freshwater ecosystems contribute significantly to global carbon budgets, yet they remain poorly constrained due to limited high‐frequency measurements. We tested a low‐cost, high‐frequency GHG measurement system in a long‐term mesocosm experiment in Lemming, Denmark, over a 7‐month period, focusing on CO2 ...

God's Presence in the Aisle: How God Salience Encourages Preference for Ultra‐Processed Foods

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT God‐related cues are pervasive in consumers' daily lives, yet little research has examined how God salience shapes consumer food choices. Drawing on compensatory control theory and the literature on symbolic healing, we present findings from six studies, including a field experiment, demonstrating that high (vs.

Bio‐Based Microfluidics With Snail Slime: A By‐Product of Agriculture Plays an Exciting Role in the Chemistry of Microfluidic Reaction Chambers

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Due to a broad spectrum of active ingredients, snail slime presents a variety of exciting physical properties and chemical reactivities. Especially in the role of the reduction‐ and stabilizing agent for the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles, its great potential is revealed. Utilising the proteins found in slime, Nanoparticle‐comprising hydrogels are

The dominance of non‐native plants over native plants increases with the number of global change factors

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Global environmental change and plant invasion are both recognized as key indicators of the Anthropocene. Still, how the number of co‐acting global change factors (GCFs) influence invaded plant communities remains unclear, even though in nature GCFs usually act together rather than alone.

The age of bright nights: Photoperiodic disruption of insect diapause by artificial light at night

open access: yesJournal of Insect Physiology
Many insects regulate diapause-a dormant physiological state-in response to photoperiod, with short day length typically signaling approach of winter and inducing diapause. However, artificial light at night (ALAN), often associated with urbanization, can disrupt these photoperiodic cues and inhibit diapause induction.

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.
