Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

Impact of aerosol–meteorology interactions on fine particle pollution during China’s severe haze episode in January 2013

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
In January 2013, a severe regional haze occurred over the North China Plain. An online-coupled meteorology-chemistry model was employed to simulate the impacts of aerosol–meteorology interactions on fine particles (PM _2.5 ) pollution during this haze ...

‘A Fairly Average “White Middle‐Class” Species of Lesbian’: Lorna Gulston, Ireland and the Early Anglophone Lesbian Press, 1965–1980
