Monitoring mercury across the National Wildlife Refuge System using a biosentinel approach
We measured mercury concentrations in 1,356 dragonfly larvae collected from 30 National Wildlife Refuges across the United States and found wide variability among refuges, spanning the full range reported for other protected lands. Using a management‐focused mercury impairment index, 80% of refuges contained sites classified as moderate or higher risk.

Population dynamics of Townsend's big‐eared bats: effect of age and drought on survival
We estimated age‐specific yearly survival of female Townsend's big‐eared bats in Inyo and Mono Counties, California. We found that both juvenile and adult survival were negatively impacted by drought, and that detection probability was lower for hand‐recapture than for bats detected via pass‐through antenna arrays.

Microbial Nitrogen Cycling and Soil Fertility under Climate-Smart Forages in East Africa [PDF]
Schaedel, Marie
core
Antler characteristics are influenced by a combination of genetics, age, and environmental factors, notably habitat quality and resource availability. In this study, we explored how diverse environmental factors, including climate and land cover composition, affect antler size, tine configuration, and the distribution of record‐scoring white‐tailed ...

Population dynamics, survival, and movements of Texas tortoises in a national park in southern Texas
Texas tortoise abundance in a small national park in South Texas, USA, declined by >25%, from an estimated 273 tortoises in 2014 to 204 tortoises in 2024. The severity of the decline varied across survey units, but abundance remained highest in areas having greater canopy cover and experiencing less invasion by Guinea grass.

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...
