Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.

Functional Stability Despite Taxonomic Changes in Mixed‐Species Foraging Flock Participants Along an Elevational Gradient in Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka 斯里兰卡纳克斯山地保护区 (Knuckles Montane Reserve) 海拔梯度上混合物种觅食群参与者的功能稳定性与分类变化

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Prevalence and Mechanisms of Sustained Force Production in the Musculature of the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.

Assessing the potential of unoccupied aerial vehicles and deep learning to survey wild turkey populations

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin
Despite importance as a game species and concerns about regional declines in abundance and productivity, there is no widely accepted method to accurately estimate wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) abundance that is applicable across landscapes and ...

The Individual and Combined Effects of Warming and Atrazine on Lithobates pipiens Phenotypes: Implications for Frog Declines

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate class globally. Climate change, agrochemicals, and/or pathogens and parasites are implicated in contributing to amphibian declines, either singly or in combination. We investigated individual and combined effects of elevated temperatures and atrazine (2.0 μg/L) on Lithobates [formerly Rana] pipiens

Depleted Dissolved Oxygen Concentrations Impair the Embryonic and Early Larval Development of Eastern Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO; hypoxia) and its influence on sensitive fauna and vulnerable life stages is an emerging concern in lotic freshwater ecosystems. A species particularly vulnerable to hypoxia is the Eastern Hellbender—a large‐bodied, fully aquatic salamander which relies on cutaneous respiration and has evolved to thrive in ...
