Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Maximizing benefits to bat populations through management of power line corridors

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Power line corridors are ubiquitous worldwide and are commonly used by bats as habitat. Targeted management of these corridor habitats has the potential to aid bat populations, which is critically important given the multifaceted threats facing bat ...

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

A global decision framework for reducing bat fatalities at wind energy facilities

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence
Ensuring wind energy development does not cause biodiversity loss is a global priority. Wind turbines kill large numbers of bats, raising concern that global expansion of wind energy increases the threat of extinction of vulnerable bat species ...

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Disentangling left and right-handed neutrino effects in $$B\rightarrow K^{(*)}\nu \nu $$ B → K ( ∗ ) ν ν

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The first observation of $$\mathcal {B}\left( B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu \nu \right) $$ B B + → K + ν ν by the Belle II experiment lies almost $$3\sigma $$ 3 σ away from the Standard Model expectation.

Neural control of vocalization in bats: mapping of brainstem areas with electrical microstimulation eliciting species-specific echolocation calls in the rufous horseshoe bat [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
1. The functional role of brainstem structures in the emission of echolocation calls was investigated in the rufous horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus rouxi, with electrical low-current microstimulation procedures. 2.

Assessing the relationship between Body Mass Index and Bone Mineral Density in a clinical-based sample of Vietnamese aged 20–50: A generalized linear regression analysis

open access: yesHuman Nutrition & Metabolism
Background: While some evidence has shown that the BMI component differentially influences bone mineral density (BMD), no studies have examined the association between BMI and BMD in Vietnamese adults.
