Vulnerability of an Endangered Amphibian to Climate‐Change Induced Hydrologic Change

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change significantly affects precipitation patterns at multiple scales, which influences river and other hydrologic flow regimes. However, the impacts of climate‐driven changes to hydrologic regimes on the vulnerability of species associated with riparian areas remain largely unexplored.

Taxonomic and Functional Structure of Benthic and Terrestrial Invertebrates During Wet and Dry Phases of an Intermittent River Within Central Italy

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temporary rivers and streams are characterized by flow cessation and support high biodiversity of both aquatic and terrestrial species. In this study, we analyzed biological and ecological traits of benthic invertebrates to assess the ecological resilience and resistance of an intermittent river in Central Italy.

From Columns to Networks: Search toward the Elusive Single Gyroid with π‐Shaped Polyphilic Liquid Crystalline Block Molecules

Small Science, EarlyView.
A full spectrum of π‐shaped bolapolyphiles with self‐assembled phases ranging from honeycombs to segmented networks via a zeolite‐like structure is reported. The phase sequence suggests that self‐assembled single‐network phases require junction valence numbers of at least 4 to be thermodynamically stable. Polyphilic block molecules form a wide range of

Behavioural responses of brown bears to helicopter capture

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the effects of capture and handling on wild animals is crucial in evaluating ethical practices in ecological research, and in avoiding biased conclusions from misinterpreting biologging data potentially affected by capture. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of helicopter capture on the behaviour of Scandinavian brown bears ...

Denning chronology in an Arctic brown bear population

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Denning is a critical behavioral adaptation for brown bears Ursus arctos to cope with winter, a period of extended resource scarcity. Bears reduce their body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism during this time to minimize energy expenditures. The Arctic has among the most pronounced and longest period of resource scarcity. Thus, we predicted bears

Racial Disparities in Financial Complaints and the Role of Corporate Social Attitudes

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using consumer complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as a measure for the quality of financial products and services, we present evidence of racial disparities in the service quality received by consumers. Consumers in high‐minority communities file more complaints than those in low‐minority communities, and the racial

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
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

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
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 Benthic Underwater Microscope imaging PAM (BUMP): A non‐invasive tool for in situ assessment of microstructure and photosynthetic efficiency

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Essential to life on Earth, assessment of marine photosynthesis is of paramount importance. Photosynthesis occurs in spatially discrete microscopic entities at various levels of biological organization, from subcellular chloroplasts to symbiotic microalgae and macroalgae, and is influenced by the surrounding conditions.
