Forest thinning creates short‐term roosting opportunities for northern long‐eared bats in central hardwood forests

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Capture Probability and Effects of Bait Type on Learning Behavior in an Unexploited Population of Northern Pike (Esox lucius)

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in angling response were studied over a period of three years in a natural, previously unfished population of northern pike. Standardized angling sessions took place during two weeks in spring and autumn with three bait types: bright‐ and natural‐colored soft plastic baits and a dead baitfish.

In Defence of Walkability as a Crime Prevention Strategy

open access: yesThe Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New Urbanist ideas promoting walkability have many benefits. But they are criticised by proponents of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), who blame street connectivity for facilitating target recognition, providing access and escape routes and weakening informal surveillance.

Advances in Cytosolic dsRNA Sensing of Viral Infections

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Activation of cytosolic dsRNA sensors by viral infection generates multiple outcomes. dsRNA generated during viral infection, either of viral origin or from endogenous sources, can activate multiple cytosolic dsRNA sensors. Activation of PKR critically induces protein translation shutdown via phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor ...

‘It's not much, but it's honest work’: The status of environmental DNA analyses of fish biodiversity in southern Africa

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) biodiversity surveys have the power to transform the detection of species in natural environments, which is crucial for the conservation and management of freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Globally, eDNA‐based analyses have increased significantly, with fishes being the most widely studied aquatic ...

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...
