Predicting long‐term population viability for an imperiled salamander under future climate changes

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated the long‐term viability of 2 reticulated flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) populations in response to multiple future climate change scenarios. We found that there is a high probability of extinction by 2100 under some scenarios, mostly driven by severe droughts and repeated reproductive failure. Conservation actions should focus on

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Relationships between acoustic scattering layers and ocean stratification: An acoustic approach to estimate mixed layer depth

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Ocean stratification, measured as mixed layer depth (MLD), is an important feature that influences many processes in the ocean; for example, by mediating the fluxes of momentum, heat and crucially key gases such as CO2 and oxygen from the atmosphere into the water column and vice versa. The conventional methods to measure stratification (e.g.,

Surface Chemical Analysis of Plastic Materials by X‐Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Understanding Weathering, Fragmentation and Contaminant Uptake in Marine Environments

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This Perspective demonstrates how X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) uncovers surface chemical changes in plastics, providing insight into weathering‐driven fragmentation and contaminant adsorption. The Perspective underscores XPS's pivotal role in elucidating fragmentation mechanisms, predicting pollutant–plastic interactions, and guiding ...

Asphalted parking lots are environmental filters for multiple propagule dispersal and pollination strategies

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Understanding community assembly for wild species in anthropogenic settings has become increasingly important as biodiversity and ecosystem services are threatened by development pressures. Urban hardscape habitats such as parking lots are widespread, extreme, terrestrial anthropogenic environments that influence plant community assembly by way of ...

Typification and rediscovery of Phialacanthus griffithii Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae) in Arunachal Pradesh, India

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phialacanthus griffithii Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae), a species long thought unrecorded, was rediscovered in 2023 after a 160‐year gap in the Upper Dibang Valley, Eastern Himalaya, Arunachal Pradesh. The study presents a comprehensive taxonomic account including lectotypification, morphological description, phenology, habitat ecology, distribution ...

Arisaema siahaense sp. nov. (Araceae) from India

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Arisaema Mart. (Araceae) belonging to sect. Fimbriata is described and illustrated here from the Siaha District, Mizoram, India. This new species is characterized by an evergreen, dioecious herbaceous habit, up to 1.08 m high, having a subglobose tuber, with a solitary trifoliate leaf.
