Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites
Reproductive decision‐making impacts fitness, especially in dynamic urban environments. Thus, we assessed urban coyote den site selection in Atlanta, GA. We found that coyotes made decision on both the site and structure of dens to mitigate fitness related risk and safeguard their young.

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources
We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Detecting Snow Avalanche Activity Using Infrasound: Hooker Valley, New Zealand
Snow avalanches pose considerable hazards to people and infrastructure in alpine environments. Traditional avalanche monitoring relies on meteorological data and visual observations, which can be limited in scope and timeliness. Infrasound offers a promising complementary monitoring tool by detecting the low‐frequency sound waves generated by ...
