Quantifying range‐ and topographical biases in weather surveillance radar measures of migratory bird activity

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared local density measures of migratory birds collected using a mobile, vertically looking radar with reflectivity from a Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) station across varying distances and topographies. Broadly, mean nightly migration activity and within night migration activity between NEXRAD and the mobile radar were strongly ...

Disability and postsecondary fieldwork experiences in the natural sciences: A systematic review

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1006-1039, April 2025.
Abstract We present a systematic review of 29 empirical studies on disability and fieldwork in natural science, postsecondary educational settings. Undergraduate students with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM, and disciplines requiring major field components are some of the least diverse, at least in part because fieldwork has been ...

The performance of growing degree day models to predict spring phenology of herbaceous species depends on the species' temporal niche

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

Evaluating the applicability of a 2D weighted compact gravity inversion method for determining crustal undulations and thicknesses in the Aegean region

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1243-1254, May 2025.
Abstract This study introduces the application of the 2D weighted compact gravity inversion technique to model crustal thickness and intracrustal discontinuities in the Aegean region, encompassing both marine and terrestrial areas over a significant area of 430 km × 333 km.

Range‐wide study in a sexually polymorphic wild strawberry reveals climatic and soil associations of sex ratio, sexual dimorphism and sex chromosomes

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
A landscape‐level perspective revealed that variation in soil and climate factors can explain geospatial variation in sex ratio and sexual dimorphism in a wild strawberry. Variation in sex ratio was associated more with soil resources than climate, while variation in sexual dimorphism was the result of sex‐differential responses to climate for ...

Coupling Between Lithosphere Removal and Mantle Flow in the Central Andes

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The central Andes is part of a Cordilleran orogen formed through continent‐ocean convergence. In contrast to the thickened crust, the mantle lithosphere below much of the orogen is anomalously thin.

Differences in the genetic diversity and genome size between two ecotypes of Imperata cylindrica in Japan

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 175-189, March 2025.
We found distinct genetic and genome size differentiation in the two ecotypes (C‐ and E‐type) of Imperata cylindrica. We also found that the C‐type has greater genetic diversity than the E‐type. These results suggest that the two ecotypes have different histories of differentiation and range expansion.

Climate and Socio‐Sexual Environment Predict Interpopulation Variation in Chemical Signaling Glands in a Widespread Lizard

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Foundational guiding principles for a flourishing Earth system

Business and Society Review, Volume 130, Issue S1, Page 164-182, Spring 2025.
Abstract In this perspectives article, we maintain that the current local to global sustainable development predicaments we face are the result of humanity's impact on the Earth System (ES)—that is to say, on the very systemic fabric of the ES (i.e., its functioning and configuration), combined with an insufficiently coherent application of sustainable
