Over 7 years, warmer springs were associated with earlier leaf‐out of two temperate forest understorey herbs and of the trees above them, but the effect was stronger for the herbs. This suggests that climate warming will prolong the relatively brief period of high light available to understorey plants in spring, which is a key determinant of their ...

Industrial oil palm plantations threaten biodiversity in Southeast Asia, yet some native species are highly adaptable within these environments. Our study tracked four male leopard cats (Prionailurus javanensis) with GPS collars in the Kinabatangan floodplain, Sabah, revealing average home ranges of 8.60 km² (95% MCP) and 5.39 km² (95% a‐LoCoH), with ...

Canadian water‐related fatalities: Demographic, situational, and environmental risk factors
Abstract Unintentional water‐related deaths are an ongoing global problem, despite being named by the United Nations as one of the leading preventable causes of death. To address the need for enhanced analysis of drowning risk factors, including demographic and situational conditions that may influence death outcomes, this research involved a three ...

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis
We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

The necessity of motoric engagement in enhancing route memory
Abstract The relative contribution of decision‐making and motor engagement at encoding, on route memory, was examined using virtual reality (VR). During encoding, participants explored 12 virtual environments for 40 s each. Navigation strategy during encoding was manipulated within‐subjects.

Rapid riparian ecosystem decline in Rocky Mountain National Park
Abstract Understanding the drivers of ecosystem collapse is critical for resource management, particularly for protected areas mandated to preserve biodiversity. In Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, tall willows (Salix spp.) dominated riparian vegetation, and a beaver–willow state was the natural ecosystem type in the Colorado River headwaters ...
