STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Osteological, Biological, and Genetic Consequences of Colonization of Fresh Waters by Marine Cottoid Fishes (Cottidae)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Lacustrine forms of Triglopsis from North American and European lakes are at different stages of evolution, making them a suitable model for testing hypotheses about evolutionary patterns and rates. An integrative analysis of morphological, genetic, and biological adaptations occurring in lacustrine forms of the genus Triglopsis was carried out.

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

open access: yesIntegrative 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)

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

open access: yesClinical 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

open access: yesComputer 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 ...

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

open access: yesConservation 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

Coupled Space Weathering: Nanophase Iron Formation by Micrometeoroid Impact and Solar Wind Sputtering

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Understanding the interplay between micrometeoroid impacts and solar wind irradiation is crucial for interpreting lunar surface evolution. Using reactive molecular dynamics simulations and surface binding energy (SBE) analyses, this study investigates ...

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

open access: yesIbis, 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 ...
