Waterfowl Move Less in Heterogeneous and Human-Populated Landscapes, With Implications for Spread of Avian Influenza Viruses. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We show that non‐migratory waterfowl movement distances are shorter in areas of high land cover heterogeneity and human population density, and that these movement distances are related to the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. These results suggest that habitat management could contribute to the spread of these viruses.

What personality traits do citizens want politicians to have? Observational and experimental evidence of citizens' preferences in three countries

Political Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Politicians' personality is believed to play a central role in their electoral success. It is unclear, however, how important different traits are to voters and how the impact of personality compares to that of other well‐studied individual characteristics of politicians, such as gender, age, and political experience.

Plant dispersal by Canada geese in Arctic Greenland

Polar Research, 2018
Despite the abundance of migratory geese as herbivores in the Arctic, and ongoing changes in their populations and distributions, little is known about their role in seed dispersal. Climate change requires Arctic plants to adjust their distributions, and

Psychometric Analysis and Cross‐Cultural Comparisons of the Italian and English Sense of Humor Scale Parallel Version Short Form

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sense of Humor Scale parallel version short form (SHS‐PSF) is a novel self‐report measure aimed at describing personality traits related to enjoyment of humor, laughter, verbal humor, humor under stress, humor in everyday life, and laughing at oneself.

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.

Waterfowl Harvest Benefits in Northern Aboriginal Communities and Potential Climate Change Impacts [PDF]

Migratory waterfowl are important to the diets of residents in Canada’s northern communities. Contrary to recreational hunters, indigenous peoples have rights to harvest wildlife for subsistence needs without permits. As a result, migratory waterfowl are

No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower‐ or upper‐body RE elicits a differential cerebrovascular response has not yet been examined.

Longitudinal sex differences in cerebrovascular ageing in older adults: results from the brain in motion study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Longitudinal assessment of sex differences in cerebrovascular ageing over a ∼6 year period: the Brain in Motion study. Cerebrovascular function was assessed at baseline (T1) and at a follow‐up (T2) ∼6 years later, at rest, during euoxic hypercapnia and while engaging in submaximal exercise. Over the follow‐up period females had a

Integration of organic animal production intor land use with special reference to swine and poultry [PDF]

, 2004
The development in organic livestock production can be attributed to an increased consumer interest in organic products while, at the same time, increased farmers' interest in converting to organic production methods—often stimulated by governmental ...

Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.
