Multiscale habitat analysis for the shoals spider lily: A species of conservation interest

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We applied a multiscale analysis to determine what stream characteristics predicted shoals spider lily habitat in Stevens Creek, South Carolina. Shallow stream depth and coarse substrate were the most important predictors of spider lily presence at the microhabitat scale.

The Adoption and Dissemination of Soil Conservation Technologies Among Sorghum Farmers in Burkina Faso: Perspectives on Innovation, Network, and Risk Aversion

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation threatens agricultural productivity across Africa, necessitating effective conservation strategies. However, gaps remain in understanding the mechanisms that drive agricultural technology adoption and dissemination. This study applies the theories of innovation diffusion, social networks, and risk aversion to examine the ...

Prolonged low flows and non‐native fish operate additively to alter insect emergence in mountain streams

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate‐induced flow alteration is decreasing snowpack and advancing snowmelt, subjecting mountain streams to longer low‐flow periods. Yet, anticipating how stream ecosystems respond to prolonged low flows remains challenging because distinct trophic levels can respond differently, and non‐native predators can dampen or amplify responses. Here,

Seasonal variation in bay‐marsh sediment exchange through a back‐barrier salt marsh tidal creek

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Salt marsh resilience to sea‐level rise largely depends on the balance of sediment exchanges with surrounding bays. In this study, we investigate mechanisms that determine residual sediment fluxes using continuous measurements of bay‐marsh sediment exchange conducted in a tidal creek spanning 13 months (753 tidal cycles) in an intertidal marsh

Discharge and nutrients interact to determine trophic structure in a wetland: Evidence from a landscape‐scale manipulation

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying drivers of consumer biomass patterns and community structure is complex for managed freshwater ecosystems that are sensitive to nutrients and drought. In the Florida Everglades, flow restoration is expected to reintroduce discharge across an expansive wetland, yet most research on consumers has focused on water depth and dry ...

Glacial meltwater drives high CH4 supersaturation in Maxwell Bay, King George Island (Southern Ocean)

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal waters exhibit the highest and most dynamic dissolved CH4 concentrations in marine environments, but significant knowledge gaps on the distribution and emissions, particularly in the Southern Ocean, still exist. We quantified dissolved CH4 concentrations and sea–air fluxes in the coastal waters of Maxwell Bay, King George Island ...

Revealing growth increments in fossil and modern otoliths with backscattered electron imaging

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Otoliths, the functional earstones of teleost fishes, record growth in the form of microscopic increments, making them key archives of individual life histories. While increment analysis is commonly applied to modern otoliths, studies of fossil (Holocene) otoliths remain limited.

Compact Spectral Imaging: A Review of Miniaturized and Integrated Systems

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This review explores the rapid shift toward compact spectral imaging systems by examining four key design paradigms: Do‐It‐Yourself (DIY) platforms, freeform optics, filter‐on‐chip integration, and multifunctional metasurfaces. The discussion highlights critical applications in medicine, agriculture, and environmental monitoring, providing comparative ...

Using H‐Convergence to Calculate the Numerical Errors for 1D Unsaturated Seepage in Transient Conditions

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerical modeling plays a pivotal role in understanding transient unsaturated flow, which is critical for applications such as groundwater recharge, stormwater management, and contaminant transport. This study investigates the effect of time step refinement on numerical solutions for a vertical infiltration 1D test in a vertical column. First,
