0.25 Deg Horizontal Winds and Derived Dynamic Quantities From NOAA‐20 and Suomi‐NPP Satellite Water Vapor Soundings

Geophysical Research Letters
We produced global 0.25° three‐dimensional distribution of horizontal wind vectors (or 3D winds) by tracking water vapor from the hyperspectral infrared sounders and microwave sounders aboard two polar satellites (NOAA‐20 and Suomi‐NPP) that have ...

Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

Megafaunal engineering in the tropical rainforest: African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) reduce avian species richness but elevate functional diversity

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our paper investigates the crucial role of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) on the functioning of rainforest ecosystems, through the lens of bird communities. It reveals that the critically endangered megaherbivores are inextricably linked to survival of another key group imperilled by land‐use change: understory invertivore birds ...

Parental death destabilizes wolf packs despite the benefits of larger pack size

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Larger wolf packs were associated with improved demographic performance overall, but these general benefits did not buffer the demographic consequences of parental death. Compared with packs in which both parents survived, packs experiencing parental death were substantially more likely to dissolve and fail reproductively and recruited fewer pups ...

A Comprehensive Repository of Morphological, Life‐History, Ecological, and Environmental Data for Sirenians and Marine Carnivorans Worldwide

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.

Profits Lost in the Haze: Evidence From Wildfire Smoke Bénéfices perdus dans la brume : données issues de la fumée des feux de forêt

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whereas prior studies primarily examine how environmental shocks affect manufacturing, distribution, and supply chains, we examine a distinct and understudied channel: the effect of wildfire smoke on human capital operating from firm headquarters.

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

Enhanced fish detection sensitivity in aquatic systems using environmental RNA

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental RNA (eRNA) can potentially augment the biological monitoring ability of the established environmental DNA (eDNA) application in conservation. Despite faster degradation, environmental RNA could offer unique advantages: it may help reduce the legacy signal compared to eDNA, provide insights into physiological status through gene ...

A new approach for detecting phenological change using Time of Emergence (ToE) methodology

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Many species are responding to environmental change by shifting the timings of phenological events such as migration or reproduction. These shifts are typically reported as rates of change, which do not indicate when such shifts transcend their original states, nor consider whether species experience novel environmental conditions or ...
