Mesoscale Soil Moisture Heterogeneity Can Locally Amplify Humid Heat

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Soil moisture is a key ingredient of humid heat through supplying moisture and modifying boundary layer properties. Soil moisture heterogeneity due to for example, antecedent rainfall, can strongly influence weather patterns; yet, its effect on humid heat is poorly understood.

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 235-248, June 2026.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...
