How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 1: Old English to the Age of Discovery

Weather, EarlyView.
The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Abundance, trends, and challenges facing mountain goats throughout their North American distribution

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Our survey of states and provinces revealed that 13% of native mountain goat populations increased during the past 10 years, whereas 38% declined. For introduced populations, increases were roughly equal to declines. Rates of change were positively associated with being introduced or pioneering, and negatively associated with heavy snow, and, to a ...

Soil drying induces widespread productivity loss but unequal climate vulnerability among ecotypes of a foundational Arctic sedge

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As temperatures increase in the Arctic, hydrological change may lead to local soil drying through altered snowpack, evapotranspiration and drainage due to permafrost thaw.
