Using wingbeat frequency to estimate mass gain

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Energy intake is a fundamental currency in ecology that is critical to reproductive success, survival and lifetime fitness. Measuring foraging success in wild animals via biologgers has been a long‐standing challenge but is essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying population dynamics and species distributions.

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Evaluation of urban heat island effects based on fine-resolution mapping of subpixel impervious surface dynamics over four cities in China

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
In the context of global urbanization, urban expansion significantly affects urban thermal environment. As a key indicator of urbanization, impervious surfaces are widely used to monitor urban growth.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

A robust method for mapping refugial capacity in montane forests

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We developed a refugial capacity analysis to guide management strategies to protect montane forests that will be relatively buffered from disturbances. Through sensitivity analyses, we found that our approach was robust to uncertainty in thresholds and climate forecasts, consistently identifying refugia across the landscape in similar locations and ...

An experimental examination of dispersal decisions made by flight‐capable heteropteran insects in urban stormwater pond conditions

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salty conditions in urban stormwater ponds can influence dispersal timing in species‐specific ways for actively dispersing aquatic heteropteran insects. Assaying multiple aspects of dispersal propensity, Hesperocorixa obliqua emigrated earlier in stormwater pond conditions while overall probabilities remained unchanged; Notonecta undulata emigration ...

Impervious surface extraction with very high resolution imagery in urban areas: reducing tree obscuring effect

, 2012
Impervious surface is an important factor for evaluating the process of urbanization and its rate. In urban areas, there are a large number of street trees obscuring impervious surface, which will cause underestimation of impervious surface if it is ...

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...
