Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Spatial, temporal and kinematic characteristics of surges of Variegated Glacier, Alaska

, 1997
Analysis of five surges of Variegated Glacier, Alaska, indicates that they all terminated with their surge fronts in the terminal lobe of the glacier, and that different surges penetrated into the terminal lobe by different amounts.

A physically based calving model applied to marine outlet glaciers and implications for the glacier dynamics [PDF]

, 2010
We present results from numerical ice-flow models that include calving criteria based on penetration of surface and basal crevasses, which in turn is a function of longitudinal strain rates near the glacier front.

Prioritizing site groups for intrinsic biodiversity assets using complementarity and not just rarity

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation practitioners rightfully focus on at‐risk species when valuing biodiversity assets and prioritizing spatial units. We compared and combined numbers of at‐risk species with four other community metrics using surveys of vascular plants at wetlands in a preserve network in Illinois, USA.

Glacier velocity and surge detection in the Karakoram region, Pakistan: using remotely sensed data with cross-correlation feature tracking

International Journal of Digital Earth
This research addresses the knowledge gap regarding glacier surging detection (GSD) and their potential downstream implications for Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) risk.

Inland thinning of the Amundsen Sea sector, West Antarctica [PDF]

, 2002
[1] Together with the Pine Island glacier (PIG), the Thwaites (TG) and Smith (SG) glaciers are the principal drainage systems of the Amundsen Sea (AS) sector of Western Antarctica.

Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

Influence of menstrual cycle phase on inflammatory and vascular responses to acute passive heating in healthy young women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

Gonolobus in the spotlight: History, diversity, and citizen science

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Gonolobus (Apocynaceae) is a distinctive genus of climbing plants, distributed from the southern United States to Argentina. This study presents a comprehensive, integrative analysis of the genus, synthesizing its intricate taxonomic history, biogeographic patterns, and the contribution of citizen science to its modern systematics. We compiled

Topographic and hydrological controls on partial and full surges of Little Kluane Glacier, Yukon

Journal of Glaciology
We demonstrate that a ~20 km long valley glacier in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, can experience both partial and full surges, likely controlled by the presence of a topographic constriction and the formation and drainage of supraglacial lakes.
