Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)

Lunar volcanic feature catalog for Dawn [PDF]

, 2011
Except for a number of low-resolution full-globe images obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope the surface of Vesta remains largely unknown. New image data from NASA’s Dawn mission that will arrive at asteroid Vesta in July 2011 for a 9 month systematic mapping phase to investigate Vesta’s geology [1].

Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Adolescents and Young Adults With Prader‐Willi Syndrome: Efficacy and Effects on Behaviour

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Hypogonadism in Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in male adolescents and adults. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) improves BMD and sexual maturation, but TRT could aggravate pre‐existing challenging behaviour in male patients with PWS.

Topology‐based Visual Analysis of Hydrothermal Plumes

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrothermal plumes are turbulent structures of intense heat and mineral smoke that rise and disperse into the deep ocean. Existing models generally characterize these systems as a single axisymmetric plume originating from a point source. However, this assumption breaks down in weakly venting, spatially distributed systems, where low‐flux ...

Recent Tectonic Deformation of the Lunar Farside Mare and South Pole–Aitken Basin

The Planetary Science Journal
The timing and scale of lunar tectonism provide a crucial insight into the geologic evolution of Earth’s Moon. Within the nearside lunar maria, wrinkle ridges formed during and after the emplacement of the mare basalts as a result of subsidence-induced ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

We Don't Settle: Decolonizing the Heritage Sector by Empowering Young People of Color

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decolonizing the heritage sector has taken center stage since the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests. There have been efforts for decades to make the sector address institutional racism and be more inclusive to racialized minorities.

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...
