Associating Local‐Scale Physical Habitat Assemblages With Reach‐Scale Stream Hydrogeomorphological Types in Mountain Headwater Catchments

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building an understanding of river ecosystems often involves integrating information from different locations, spatial scales and points in time. Geomorphologists and ecologists have long considered ways to explore river ecosystems at different, hierarchical, spatial scales so that features observed locally can be linked to the character of ...

Investigating boreal forest successional stages in Alaska and Northwest Canada using UAV‐LiDAR and RGB and a community detection network

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel application of UAV‐LiDAR and Red Green Blue (RGB) data and network analysis to enhance our understanding of boreal forest succession. The results indicate that tree height and spectral variables are the most influential predictors of plant functional type in random forest algorithms, and high overall accuracies were attained.

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Design of Experiments (DoE)‐Optimized Polymeric Oxytocin Nanoparticles for Enhanced Nose‐to‐Brain Delivery

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Intranasal (IN) delivery of PEGylated PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with oxytocin (OT) (OT‐NP‐PEG) is investigated as a strategy to enhance OT transport to the brain for treating autism and other neuropsychiatric disorders. The optimized NP formulation demonstrates appropriate physicochemical characteristics, improved stability, and enhanced mucosal ...

Phylogeny, species delimitation and machine learning bridge the gap between DNA sequences and morphology in the lichen genus Arctomia (Arctomiaceae, Ascomycota)

open access: yesTAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates species boundaries in the lichen genus Arctomia (Arctomiaceae, Ascomycota) using an integrative approach combining molecular phylogenetics, full Bayesian population delimitation, heuristic and model‐based species delimitation, and supervised machine learning applied to morphological data.

Dynamics of Climate Change: Explaining Glacier Retreat Mathematically [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Climate change is an important topic that has become extremely relevant this day and age. The world’s climate is undergoing monumental shifts with over two-thirds of the estimated 150 glaciers existing in 1850 disappearing by 1980.

Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.
