Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Ecography, EarlyView.Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

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.

Visualizing the Geology of Lake Trout Spawning Sites: Northern Lake Michigan [PDF]
, 2004 Geologists and biologists are working together to understand the links between lake floor geology (composition and shape) and the distribution of lake trout throughout their life cycle. Lake floor geology is one of the main factors determining where lake

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness
Ecography, EarlyView.Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

Effect of surficial geology mapping scale on modelled ground ice in Canadian Shield terrain [PDF]
The CryosphereGround ice maps at small scales offer generalized depictions of abundance across broad circumpolar regions. In this paper, the effect of surficial geology mapping scale on modelled ground ice abundance is examined in the Slave Geological Province of the ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Migration is challenging for birds, especially juveniles, who experience high mortality rates during migration. The challenge is exacerbated in the Anthropocene, contributing to widespread population declines. Conservation efforts focused on increasing juvenile survival could bolster population recovery.

Structural analysis of the Rubjerg Knude Glaciotectonic Complex, Vendsyssel, Northern Denmark [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2005 The Rubjerg Knude Glaciotectonic Complex is a thin-skinned thrust-fault complex that was formed during the advance of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (30 000 – 26 000 B.P.); it is well exposed in a 6 km long coastal profile bordering the North Sea in northern

A preliminary Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) study of magnetite surface microtextures from the Wahianoa moraines, Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand. [PDF]
, 2010 Scanning electron microscope (SEM) of quartz micro‐textures has routinely been used to identify the depositional environment of sediments in areas of former ice‐sheet glaciation.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.
