Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Extinction of contextual fear memory is facilitated in TRPM2 knockout mice

Molecular Brain
Transient receptor potential melastatin type 2 (TRPM2) is a nonselective cation channel involved in synaptic plasticity. We investigated its role in contextual fear conditioning and extinction of conditioned fear using Trpm2-deficient (Trpm2 −/− ) mice ...

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases

Ecography, EarlyView.
Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

A Review of Black Phosphorus‐Based Materials: From Preparation Strategies to Characterization Techniques

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The structure, properties, preparation methods, and characterization techniques of BP. As a typical 2D layered material, black phosphorus (BP) demonstrates exceptional promise in various fields, particularly in energy storage for alkali metal‐ion batteries. However, its distinctive structure and properties, together with the compositional complexity of

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...
