Sierra Nevada amphibians demonstrate stable occupancy despite precipitation volatility in the early 21st Century

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Climate can have a strong influence on species distributions, and amphibians with different life histories might be affected by annual variability in precipitation in different ways. The Sierra Nevada of California, United States, experienced some of the

Near‐Field Microlensing from Wide‐Field Surveys [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
We estimate the rate of near-field microlensing events expected from all-sky surveys and investigate the properties of these events. Under the assumption that all lenses are composed of stars, our estimation of the event rate ranges from _{tot}~0.2 yr^{-1}$ for a survey with a magnitude limit of V_{lim}=12 to _{tot}~20 yr^{-1} for a survey with V_ ...

S/P Amplitude Ratios Derived from Single-Component Seismograms and Their Potential Use in Constraining Focal Mechanisms for Microearthquake Sequences

The Seismic Record, 2022
Focal mechanisms, which reflect the sense of slip in earthquakes, provide important constraints for understanding crustal tectonics and earthquake source physics, including the interactions among earthquakes during mainshock–aftershock sequences or ...

Lessons from the past: isotopes of an endangered rail as indicators of underlying change to tidal marsh habitats

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2017
Introduction: Tidal marsh systems along the Pacific coast of the United States have experienced substantial stress and loss of area and ecosystem function, which we examined by using the endangered California Ridgway’s Rail, Rallus obsoletus obsoletus ...

Near surface sediments introduce low frequency noise into gravity models

Applied Computing and Geosciences, 2023
3D geologic modeling and mapping often relies on gravity modeling to identify key geologic structures, such as basin depth, fault offset, or fault dip.

Adherence to Protocol Recommendations for Children With Wilms Tumour in Two Consecutive Studies in the United Kingdom and Ireland—Does Variation Matter?

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Wilms tumour (WT) has excellent event‐free and overall survival (OS). However, small differences exist between countries participating in the same international study. This led us to examine variation in adherence to protocol recommendations as a potential contributing factor.

Pediatric Oncology Nursing Competencies in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Scoping Review to Inform Practice, Education, and Research

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nurses are central to cancer care for children and adolescents, yet no comprehensive synthesis has defined essential core competencies for pediatric oncology nursing (PON) practice internationally, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
