Evaluating harvest liberalization strategies on population dynamics of southern latitude temperate‐breeding Canada geese

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The recovery of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is one of North America's greatest conservation success stories. Today, continental abundance of temperate‐breeding Canada geese (those breeding in southern Canada and lower 48 states in the United States) greatly exceeds historical levels.

Nest-Site Selection and Nesting Ecology of Giant Canada Geese in Central Tennessee

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Little information is available on giant Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima) nest-site selection on isolated nesting ponds. We monitored 46 island and 72 shoreline nests in the Upper Cumberland (UC) region of central Tennessee during 2002 and 2003 ...

Comparative foraging ecology of lynx and coyotes in three Gulf of Alaska national parks

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Consumers exhibit varying degrees of dietary specialization, with foraging strategies shaped by both evolutionary history and local food availability. In boreal systems, Canada lynx are considered snowshoe hare specialists, whereas coyotes are classically generalist foragers capable of exploiting diverse resources.

A Review of Overcurrent Protection in Smart Grids Under Cyber‐Physical Threats With a Cyber‐Physical Evaluation Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3948-3973, August 2026.
By manipulating current and voltage measurements, an assailant can induce unwanted relay action while attempting to avoid detection. Detecting advanced cyber intrusions in power protection environments requires specialised data analysis and anomaly detection methods.

Proxies for success: Targeted hazing reduces wildlife use of runway‐adjacent areas and management effort at an airport

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sustained non‐lethal hazing was associated with reduced wildlife use of runway‐adjacent critical areas while overall wildlife numbers remained stable. Bayesian models of operational hazing records showed that the proportion of individuals in critical areas declined, lower hazing escalation was required over time, and pre‐ and post‐hazing response ...

Resident and Migratory Falcons' Breeding Phenology and Productivity Respond Differently to Weather and Climate Change Across the Arctic

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Climate change is altering breeding phenology and productivity of peregrine falcons and gyrfalcons across the circumpolar Arctic. Long‐term monitoring shows that responses vary among study areas and Arctic regions, with some populations advancing hatch dates while others show weaker or contrasting trends, highlighting spatially variable effects of ...

Denning Phenology Mediates Sea‐Ice Loss Impacts on Early Reproductive Success in Polar Bears

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Changes in overwinter sheltering phenology in response to climate change and their fitness consequences have rarely been studied. Here, we show that climate change has disrupted the phenology of overwinter maternity denning in polar bears, with females emerging from den earlier when sea‐ice had been scarce the preceding year.

Habitat and Thermal Breadth Shape Climate‐Driven Range Shifts in Arctic Birds

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Rapid climate change is reshaping Arctic ecosystems and altering species' breeding distributions. We assessed climate‐driven breeding range shifts of Arctic birds and examined how functional traits, including morphology, habitat breadth, and thermal niche breadth, influence these shifts. Location European and North American Arctic.

Why Have CEO Pay Levels Become Less Diverse?

The Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1893-1950, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper documents a new stylized fact: the cross‐sectional variation in CEO pay levels has declined precipitously in recent years. We offer one explanation for this decline, namely, firms are increasingly benchmarking CEO compensation to industry peers closest in size, thereby creating pay clusters.
