Winter severity for white‐tailed deer in Alberta, Canada
Abstract Winter Severity Indices (WSIs) are especially important for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), a species for which population dynamics often are tied to winter conditions throughout much of their range. However, existing WSIs often oversimplify environmental variability, limiting their ability to support effective management decisions.

International principles and standards for the practice of ecological restoration. Third edition
Abstract Introduction Growth in understanding of ecological restoration necessitates updated guidance for effective, equitable, and outcome‐oriented restoration across terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems. The third edition of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) International Principles and Standards for the Practice of

Abstract A central question in cognition is how representations are integrated across different modalities, such as language and vision. One prominent hypothesis posits the existence of an abstract, prelinguistic “language of vision” as a representational system that organizes meaning compositionally, enabling cross‐modal integration.

T&C‐SMEW is an integrated modelling framework that couples ecohydrological, biogeochemical, and weathering processes to quantify carbon dioxide removal (CDR) via enhanced rock weathering (ERW). The model captures high‐frequency plant–soil–water interactions that govern cation release, alkalinity generation, soil pH dynamics, and ecosystem carbon fluxes.

A Quantitative Analysis of 21st Century Skills: A Case of Semantic and Psychometric Overlap
ABSTRACT While the concept of 21st century skills has become omnipresent, there is little consistency regarding the terms, definitions, or measurement instruments used, causing a problem for personnel selection policies as well as education and training.

Effects of liming on soil physical and chemical properties in Europe and North America: A review
Abstract Soil acidity is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. About 50% of the global arable land is acidic. Liming remains an effective strategy for soil acidity amelioration and improvement of soil fertility. The objective of this review was to summarize information on liming effects on soil physical and chemical ...

Raising the Roof of the World: Intra‐Crustal Asian Mantle Supports the Himalayan‐Tibetan Orogen
Abstract The Himalayan‐Tibetan orogen formed via the ongoing collision of India and Asia. Its colossal elevations stem from buoyant crustal roots that doubled in thickness during continental collision, widely believed to result from Indian crust under‐thrusting its Asian counterpart and Asian crustal thickening. However, a single crustal layer of up to

Stable isotope analysis reveals individual variations in feeding habits among wild Japanese macaques
In this study, we conducted a dietary analysis using stable isotopes on the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) group on Koshima Island, Japan. As a result, we clarified the variation in isotope ratios at the individual level, and indicated that this variation is affected by attributes such as sex or dominance‐subordinate relationships in this group ...
