Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors
In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Abstract The 20 kDa isoform of human growth hormone variant (20K hGH‐V) (derived from the GH2 gene) has previously been shown to promote growth but lacks the diabetogenic and lactogenic activities of human GH (derived from the GH1 gene). That is, 20K hGH‐V‐treated mice have similar body size and composition to hGH‐treated mice, as well as improved ...

Abstract A limitation in our understanding of the geodynamics of orogenies is the difficulty in resolving the spatial variations in long‐term processes such as exhumation of the crust. Although geodesy can record ground motions to millimeter‐scale precision at high spatial and temporal resolutions, these observations only cover a small fraction of the ...

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet
This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Function over form: The benefits of aspen as surrogate brood‐rearing habitat for greater sage‐grouse
Abstract Species of conservation concern are often habitat specialists, posing significant risk to those species when specific plant communities are threatened. As a result, practitioners habitually focus conservation efforts on these communities while ignoring ecological mechanisms that explain the wildlife–plant relationships.

Unsupervised Coherent Noise Removal From Seismological Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data
Abstract Recent advances in sensing technologies, particularly Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), have significantly improved the collection and analysis of seismological data. DAS is a powerful method for detecting vibrations from various sources, including earthquakes.

ABSTRACT This article engages mātauranga Māori, social psychology and the sociology of education to argue that an individualistic approach to mental health education in schools is inadequate. In this article we discuss a recent national school curriculum policy that demonstrates the ways mental health education can be framed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi ...

(De)hydration Front Propagation Into Zero‐Permeability Rock
Abstract Hydration and dehydration reactions play pivotal roles in plate tectonics and the deep water cycle, yet many facets of (de)hydration reactions remain unclear. Here, we study (de)hydration reactions where associated solid density changes are predominantly balanced by porosity changes, with solid rock deformation playing a minor role. We propose

The biogeography of irruptive insect herbivores is determined by host availability and climate conditions. As such, outbreak distributions are sensitive to climatic change, especially across large latitudinal gradients. Here, we investigate the outbreak distributions of two understudied defoliators, hemlock sawfly Neodiprion tsugae (Hymenoptera) and ...

Machine learning applications in vadose zone hydrology: A review
Abstract Machine learning (ML) has been broadly applied for vadose zone applications in recent years. This article provides a comprehensive review of such developments. ML applications for variables corresponding to different complex vadose zone processes are summarized mostly in a prediction context.
