ABSTRACT Why do members of Congress collaborate on legislation in an era of intense partisan polarization? This paper argues that shared exposure to pressing, district‐level policy problems can motivate cross‐party collaboration, particularly in a policy area that cuts across traditional ideological divides. Focusing on the case of the opioid crisis, I

ABSTRACT Seasonal snowmelt from forested mountain catchments is the primary water source for both people and ecosystems in the western United States. As changes in climate and vegetation alter relationships between snow accumulation and water availability, quantifying the influence of ecosystem structure on snow water resources is a critical challenge.

Abstract Premise Understanding genetic and morphological variability helps efforts to sustain landscapes and develop effective species concepts for resolving difficult groups. To unravel puzzling relationships and range disjunctions, we applied morphometrics, phenology, phylogenetics and population genetics in Camassia species with cultural, ecological,

From 1999 to 2020, fall‐related head‐injury mortality among US adults ≥55 rose markedly, with the highest rates in men, the oldest ages, Midwestern states, and nonmetropolitan areas, underscoring widening disparities and the urgent need for targeted fall prevention and timely, equitable access to trauma care.

Object detection‐assisted workflow facilitates cryptic snake monitoring
Camera traps are powerful tools used to study animals. However, camera trap studies often produce large datasets requiring labor‐intensive classification. While many object detection models have been developed to facilitate image analysis, their efficacy when presented with novel species and systems is poorly understood.

Oviposition Response to Light With Different Spectra in the Crepuscular Moth Grapholita molesta
The crepuscular moth Grapholita molesta can discriminate differences in light wavelength, exhibiting a strong preference to lay eggs in UV light. ABSTRACT The light spectrum is a critical visual feature influencing insect behavior. The crepuscular moth Grapholita molesta (Busck), a significant pest of stone and pome fruits worldwide, has been shown to ...

Abstract A combination of groundwater pumping and shifting precipitation patterns is drawing down aquifer levels in many of the world's drylands and is predicted to generate widespread loss of perennial streamflows over the next few decades. This process broadly threatens freshwater biota, especially in arid and semiarid regions.

Stationary steam power in the United Kingdom, 1800–70: An empirical reassessment
Abstract The conventional view that the industrial revolution was premised on the unprecedented supply of mechanical power delivered via steam engines has been undermined by econometric work, purporting to show that their adoption outside the cotton and mining sectors was extremely limited until at least 1870.

We found that a non‐migratory passerine raised in a conservation breeding facility demonstrated higher recruitment when translocated soon after fledging than when translocated as second‐year birds after spending their first winter in captivity. Despite being translocated only a few weeks before the onset of breeding, second‐year birds failed to settle ...
