Spatiotemporal Variation Characteristics of Extreme Precipitation in Henan Province Based on RClimDex Model

open access: yesAtmosphere
Global warming has led to an increasing frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events worldwide. The extreme precipitation of Henan Province in central China usually occurs in summer, with the climate transition from the northern subtropical to

Wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) on the overgrowing peat bog in Dubravica (north-western Croatia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The peat bog in Dubravica is of spread interest due to its overgrowing by the process of natural succession, causing the habitat to become dryer and shadier. The dominance structure and phenology of wolf spiders on the Dubravica bog was studied.

Plant phenology supports the multi-emergence hypothesis for ebola spillover events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ebola virus disease outbreaks in animals (including humans and great apes) start with sporadic host switches from unknown reservoir species. The factors leading to such spillover events are little explored.

Migration speed, timing, and long‐term shifts in age structure in North American passerines during fall migration

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Migration is challenging for birds, especially juveniles, who experience high mortality rates during migration. The challenge is exacerbated in the Anthropocene, contributing to widespread population declines. Conservation efforts focused on increasing juvenile survival could bolster population recovery.

Timing of Karner Blue (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) Larvae in Spring and Adults in Spring and Summer in Wisconsin During 1991-1998 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
During 1991-1998, formal surveys and incidental observations of the Karner blue (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) occurred on 2-8 dates each year for spring larvae and on 5-10 dates in each adult generation at 148 pine-oak barrens in

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Anuran call properties as reliable indicators of environmental suitability for reproduction

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
The onset of animal breeding activity is often accompanied by auditory signals, typically produced by males, that indicate reproductive status to potential mates and competitors. Here, using male anuran advertisement calls as a case study, we present the novel hypothesis that characteristics of ectotherm auditory signals that are modulated by ...

Toxicological Evaluation of the Undesirable Components in Processed Infant Foods Using Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The detection of toxins in baby food using artificial intelligence. ABSTRACT Infant foods and baby formulas are becoming increasingly popular across the globe owing to their ease of consumption and nutritional value specific to infants. Impurities may find their way into the food chain at any point from the acquisition of raw materials to final ...

Integrating approaches and methodologies into phenological research in Neotropical dry forests: a systematic review

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Phenological shifts are increasingly recognized as tangible indicators of plant responses to climate change. Tropical dry forests (TDFs), in particular, are key ecosystems for unraveling the mechanisms driving phenological dynamics, given their crucial ...
