Climate and Hydrology Shape the Growth and Water Use Efficiency in South Florida's (USA) Pine and Cypress Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
In South Florida, tree growth and water‐use efficiency are significantly influenced by hydrological conditions, with water depth playing a more critical role than overall climate variables. Using dendrochronology and stable carbon isotopes, the study found that Taxodium species grow best during wetter summers, while Pinus elliottii grows most in wetter

Face‐off: Novel depredation and nest defense behaviors between an invasive and a native predator in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, Florida, USA

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
We describe several photo‐documented novel interactions between intraguild predators in southern Florida—the native bobcat (Lynx rufus) and the invasive Burmese python (Python bivittatus).

Valuing Earth Intrinsically and Instrumentally: A Theological Framework for Environmental Ethics [PDF]

, 2005
Philosophers have struggled with value theory as one of the most recalcitrant problems for environmental ethics. Theologians can benefit from their efforts when retrieving and reworking notions about the goodness of creation in patristic and medieval ...

Vertebrate community composition and activity at giant otter latrines in the northern Pantanal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mustelids and other terrestrial carnivores use communal latrines where feces and urine serve as olfactory cues for territory demarcation and intraspecific communication. These strong scent cues may also influence the broader vertebrate community, either acting as an attractant for species in search of food or as a warning of predator presence.

Golden Gate Bridge, as Always? Eliciting Prototypical Places From Autoregressive Large Language Models via Category Production

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Among the various theories of categorization, Eleanor Rosch's prototype theory stands out as both influential and contested. In contrast to the classical theory of concepts, prototype theory posits that humans conceptualize the world using category structures where exemplars vary in their degree of membership.

Climate Change Will Enhance Hypercapnic Hypoxia Threatening Mangrove Habitats

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Mangroves host many marine species and support fisheries in developing (sub)tropical countries. The suitability of mangrove habitats depends strongly thier the water chemistry. Here, we show how global warming and rising atmospheric CO2 will reduce dissolved oxygen and increase CO2 in mangrove waters.

Impact of Spatial Scale on Optical Earth Observation‐Derived Seasonal Surface Water Extents

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Landsat‐derived products are the most prominent, publicly available sources of large‐scale surface water extent data. However, few studies have assessed the limitations of spatial scale on such products. Here, we mapped seasonal surface water extents utilizing high‐resolution (4.77 m) PlanetScope Basemap imagery and machine learning.
