Linking distribution and return‐on‐investment models to optimize woody management for prairie grouse in Nebraska

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We modeled prairie grouse abundance across Nebraska and projected future woody encroachment to estimate population losses. By combining predicted gains from woody treatments with avoided losses and treatment costs, we mapped return on investment to identify areas for woody treatments that maximize benefits to greater prairie‐chickens and sharp‐tailed ...

Comparison of line intercept transect method, underwater photo transect, underwater 3D photo, drone, and satellite imagery in coral reef survey

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research
ACCURATE CORAL Reef monitoring is achieved using methods that capture ecological, structural, and spatial variability across scales. This study aims to quantitatively compare the Line Intercept Transect (LIT), Underwater Photo Transect (UPT), underwater ...

Navicular and fifth metatarsal base stress fractures: An illustrated anatomical review

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract The navicular bone and the proximal fifth metatarsal (M5) play a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity and biomechanical stability of the foot's medial and lateral columns, respectively. Both bones' unique anatomical configuration, intricate mechanical environment and limited vascular supply make specific locations particularly ...

Posterolateral corner reconstruction using hamstrings grafts—A comparative biomechanical study of three techniques

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare three posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction techniques—the popliteofibular loop (PFLoop), the modified LaPrade (LP) and modified Arciero (AR) techniques—in restoring knee laxity in varus (VR), external tibial rotation (ER) and posterior tibial translation (PTT). Methods Nine cadaveric knees were subjected to 8Nm VR, 5Nm

Knee joint line obliquity alters lateral meniscal root tension, tibiofemoral subluxation and compartment‐specific contact pressures

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The objective was to measure effects of joint line obliquity (JLO) on meniscus posterior root tension, tibiofemoral subluxation and contact pressures. It was hypothesised that a medial JLO would increase medial meniscal (MM) root tension, medial tibiofemoral subluxation and medial compartment contact pressure, and vice versa for ...

Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.

Water Table Decline Shifts Microbial Necromass From Particulate to Mineral‐Associated Pools in Peatlands

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a major and stable component of soil organic carbon, yet its fraction‐specific accumulation and stabilization mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in peatlands experiencing hydrological change. We investigated MNC distribution along three independent transects spanning a natural gradient of five ...

A novel approach to estimate non‐algal particle absorption for improved retrieval of pigment concentrations in coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Phytoplankton play a central role in ocean biogeochemistry and understanding their composition and variability is critical for monitoring marine ecosystem dynamics. Continuous spectrophotometric measurements (using a Seabird Sci. AC‐S) along ship tracks enable high‐resolution measurements of particle spectral absorption (apλ$$ {a}_p\left ...

Flow cytometric phytoplankton concentration and optical properties across instruments and laboratories

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Flow cytometry measures the optical properties of individual cells and has become essential for enumerating and characterizing marine phytoplankton. Yet systematic comparison of measurements across instruments remains limited, hampering data comparison across laboratories and long‐term time series.

Scan for Success? Number Needed to Scan and Management Changes in Preoperative Otosclerosis: Quantitative Analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To quantify the cumulative number of images needed to scan (NNS) with preoperative high‐resolution temporal bone computed tomography (HR‐TBCT) to yield a change in management in patients undergoing primary stapes surgery for otosclerosis‐related hearing loss. Study Design Retrospective cohort.
