Semi‐Active Movable Shear Keys for Seismic Response Control of Bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 483-499, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The size of the joint gaps plays a significant role in the dynamic performance of bridges. This has recently motivated the consideration of movable shear keys (MSKs), pioneered by the corresponding author, to enhance bridge performance by changing the bridge support/boundary conditions.

Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...

Perspectives on wildlife agency mange management in black bears and other carnivores

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Wildlife professionals across 17 states shared insights on sarcoptic mange management in black bears and other carnivores. Findings reveal shared priorities for dispatching severely affected individuals, support for public reporting, and a desire for coordinated messaging, improved stakeholder engagement, and centralized data systems to strengthen long‐

Neonate mortality in mountain caribou: Patterns of predation during onset of a wolf reduction program

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We used an individual‐based movement method, supported by camera trap data, to assess changes in neonate caribou mortality patterns before and after wolf reduction began in the Itcha‐Ilgachuz mountain caribou subpopulation range, British Columbia, Canada.

Flooding and a complex predator community drive American oystercatcher nest and chick survival in Virginia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.

Simulated Hydrologic Impacts of Cloud Seeding in the North Platte and Little Snake River Basins of Wyoming

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract In the western United States, the recent mega‐drought and impacts of climate change have resulted in an interest in cloud seeding to enhance water supplies. Studies and field campaigns focused on cloud seeding across the West have quantified the effect on precipitation generation through the release of silver iodide, and these effects can be ...
