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

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment.

Quantification of human‐caused mortality in an imperiled turtle
