The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Interdiction Models and Heuristics for Graph Propagation
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Given a graph G=(V,E)$$ G=\left(V,E\right) $$ and a set S⊂V$$ S\subset V $$ of activated/infected nodes, we consider the problem of determining the set of c$$ c $$ nodes that minimizes the network propagation on the subgraph that results from the removal of those c$$ c $$ nodes. To measure network propagation, we assume that a node i$$ i $$ is

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

Polymer International, EarlyView.An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Factors Associated with Structure Loss in the 2013–2018 California Wildfires
Fire, 2019 Tens of thousands of structures and hundreds of human lives have been lost in recent fire events throughout California. Given the potential for these types of wildfires to continue, the need to understand why and how structures are being destroyed has ...

Small, EarlyView.Fluorinated hypercrosslinked polymers (FHCPs) are reported as highly efficient sorbents for the rapid removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water. The materials integrate strong fluorophilic interactions, extensive porosity, and excellent chemical stability, delivering fast adsorption kinetics, high uptake capacity, and selective PFOA removal ...
