Adult sage‐grouse numbers rise following raven removal or an increase in precipitation
Weather and lethal control of common ravens (Corvus corax; hereafter, ravens) can affect the nesting success of greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), but implications of these effects in terms of the subsequent size of the breeding population ...

Pore evolution in interstellar ice analogues: simulating the effects of temperature increase [PDF]
Context. The level of porosity of interstellar ices - largely comprised of amorphous solid water (ASW) - contains clues on the trapping capacity of other volatile species and determines the surface accessibility that is needed for solid state reactions ...

Can Reliable Sage-Grouse Lek Counts Be Obtained Using Aerial Infrared Technology?
Abstract More effective methods for counting greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are needed to better assess population trends through enumeration or location of new leks. We describe an aerial infrared technique for conducting sage-grouse lek counts and compare this method with conventional ground-based lek count methods ...

Magnetic correlations and quantum criticality in the insulating antiferromagnetic, insulating spin liquid, renormalized Fermi liquid, and metallic antiferromagnetic phases of the Mott system V_2O_3 [PDF]
Magnetic correlations in all four phases of pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide V_2O_3 have been examined by magnetic thermal neutron scattering. While the antiferromagnetic insulator can be accounted for by a Heisenberg localized spin model, the long ...

Volunteer Observer Bias and Sharp-Tailed Grouse Lek Counts in the Upper Midwest
Abstract For most species of prairie grouse Tympanuchus spp. standardized monitoring protocols do not exist across adjoining jurisdictions. For instance, researchers monitor relatively small and disjunct populations of prairie sharp-tailed grouse Tympanuchus phasisanellus campestris in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota using different ...

Is scuba sampling a relevant method to study microhabitat in lakes? Examples and comparisons for three European species [PDF]
We compared fish microhabitat use patterns in the littoral zone of a lake using a new direct method (i.e. Point Abundance Sampling by Scuba, PASS) and the widely used Point Abundance Sampling by Electrofishing technique (PASE).

A generalized integrated population model to estimate greater sage‐grouse population dynamics
For species of conservation concern, assessing population dynamics consistently across different populations is of paramount importance to effective conservation and restoration planning.

Historical impacts from oil and gas development to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat are well-documented in some areas of Wyoming, in particular within natural gas development fields, such as the Powder River Basin and JonahPinedale.

Obstructions to combinatorial formulas for plethysm
Motivated by questions of Mulmuley and Stanley we investigate quasi-polynomials arising in formulas for plethysm. We demonstrate, on the examples of $S^3(S^k)$ and $S^k(S^3)$, that these need not be counting functions of inhomogeneous polytopes of ...
