Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

Species composition and distribution of gallinaceous birds (Aves, Galliformes) in the south of eastern Europe during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene—a review

Boreas, EarlyView.
This study investigates the species composition and distribution of gallinaceous birds (Galliformes) in the south of eastern Europe, specifically within the territory of present‐day Ukraine, during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. The research is based on the comprehensive revision of skeletal remains found at archaeological sites.

Palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Baltic Sea basin during the Last Interglacial (Eemian, Mikulino stages): a review

Boreas, EarlyView.
This review presents an investigation of the evolution of the Baltic Sea basin and its connections through the Eemian Stage, based upon sequences of marine and associated deposits from the White Sea to the Southwest Baltic, via the Karelian channel. Pollen analyses, foraminiferal and ostracod analyses provide the evolution of relative sea‐level change,

Late Holocene moisture variability in Arctic Alaska from chitin δ18O

Boreas, EarlyView.
Amplified warming in the Arctic has resulted in reduced sea‐ice extent, which can impact regional climate dynamics. Elucidating past moisture variability in response to changing temperatures and sea‐ice conditions can offer insight into how anthropogenic climate change may impact Arctic areas such as the Alaskan North Slope in the future. We contribute

Effectiveness and Predictors of House Dust Mite Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Polysensitised Patients With Allergic Rhinitis: A Multicentre Retrospective Study

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Single‐allergen dust mite subcutaneous immunotherapy achieved 68.8% perennial symptom response rate in polysensitised allergic rhinitis patients. High mould and dust mite sIgE levels predicted poor allergen immunotherapy response, which indicated allergen‐specific sIgE levels may help guide personalised allergen immunotherapy decisions.

Predation on Artificial Caterpillars Varies With Vertical Stratification but Not Light Gradients in a Sugar Maple Temperate Forest

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...
