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)

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.

Model for Determining the Origin of Lunar Volatiles Based on Their Composition: Application to NASA’s VIPER and Other Landed Missions

The Planetary Science Journal
Lunar volatiles provide a potentially pristine record of the history of the Earth–Moon system in terms of both geologic activity and delivery of volatiles from the outer solar system.

The temporal environmental correlates of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) encounters with livestock enclosures: Insights from central Kenya

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We studied spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) encounters with livestock enclosures, an important but understudied stage of the livestock depredation process. Using camera traps, we examined how encounter probability and timing varied with rainfall, moonlight, and temperature. Our findings deepen our understanding of hyena behavior around livestock and may

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.

The Population of Young Craters on the Moon: New Catalog and Spatial and Temporal Analysis

The Planetary Science Journal
We present a new catalog of the Moon’s rayed and rocky craters from 5 to 130 km in diameter. Using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the JAXA Kaguya/Selene missions, we identify 571 unique craters with albedo, maturity, and/or thermophysical

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 ...

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

Ibis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

Chinese University Students’ Motivation to Learn Greek: A Transnational Postdigital Exploration

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on the motivation of learners of Languages Other Than English (LOTE) has grown steadily in recent years; however, most studies focus on classroom‐based activities and seldom consider how transnational experiences or digital practices contribute to motivational development.

The South Pole‐Aitken Basin: Constraints on Impact Excavation, Melt, and Ejecta

Geophysical Research Letters
The formation and evolution of the South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) basin is critical to relating large impact basin formation and modification to lunar geophysical evolution.
