Born to die: pack and population level estimates of wolf pup survival and recruitment in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolf pup Canis lupus survival is a key driver of wolf population dynamics that remains poorly understood, especially in forested systems, because wolf pups are difficult to monitor. We used a combination of pup counts at dens and remote camera observations to estimate annual survival and recruitment of wolf pups in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, MN ...

Probing the Oxidation State of Ocean Worlds with SUDA: Fe (ii) and Fe (iii) in Ice Grains

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Characterizing the geochemistry of Europa and Enceladus is a key step for astrobiology investigations looking for evidence of life in their subsurface oceans.

Aerial Vehicles to Detect Maximum Volume of Plume Material Associated with Habitable Areas in Extreme Environments [PDF]

open access: yes
Current technologies of exploring habitable areas of icy moons are limited to flybys of space probes. This research project addresses long-term navigation of icy moons by developing a MATLAB adjustable trajectory based on the volume of plume material ...

Saturn's Icy Moon Rhea: a Prediction for Bulk Chemical Composition and Physical Structure at the Time of the Cassini Spacecraft First Flyby

open access: yes, 2005
I report a model for the formation of Saturn's family of mid-sized icy moons to coincide with the first flypast of Rhea by the Cassini Orbiter spacecraft on 26 November 2005.

Experimental lure design reveals the best attractants for increasing detection of multiple mesocarnivores

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many mesocarnivores have low detection rates that hinder practitioners' abilities to implement effective monitoring strategies. Using olfactory attractants (i.e. lures) may increase detection rates, but variation in effects among species is not well understood.

Flow and fracture of ice and ice mixtures [PDF]

open access: yes
Frozen volatiles make up an important volume fraction of the low density moons of the outer solar system. Understanding the tectonic history of the surfaces of these moons, as well as the evolution of their interiors, requires knowledge of the mechanical

The Chemical Inheritance of Icy Moons

open access: yes
AbstractLarge icy exomoons may represent a ubiquitous habitable environment yet remain on the fringes of detectability.   Despite decades of progress in theoretical work, the nature and origin of the solids which form the building blocks of  satellites remains a topic of debate. We utilize a radiation-thermochemical disk modeling code

DNA Polymerization in Icy Moon Abyssal Pressure Conditions

open access: yesAstrobiology
Evidence of stable liquid water oceans beneath the ice crust of moons within the Solar System is of great interest for astrobiology. In particular, subglacial oceans may present hydrothermal processes in their abysses, similarly to terrestrial hydrothermal vents.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Nano Icy Moons Propellant Harvester [PDF]

open access: yes
As one of just a few bodies identified in the solar system with a liquid ocean, Europa has become a top priority in the search for life outside of Earth.
