Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Suomi NPP/VIIRS: improving drought watch, crop loss prediction, and food security [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Since 1990, the role of satellite observations for climate and land services increased considerably, especially with the introduction in 2011 of the new generation of NOAA operational satellites, called Suomi NPOSS Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP).

Resource Availability and Habitat Quality Drive Time‐Lag Effects in High‐Altitude Ungulate Distribution

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Quality Assessment of S-NPP VIIRS Land Surface Temperature Product

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
The VIIRS Land Surface Temperature (LST) Environmental Data Record (EDR) has reached validated (V1 stage) maturity in December 2014. This study compares VIIRS v1 LST with the ground in situ observations and with heritage LST product from MODIS Aqua and ...

Climatic–Anthropogenic Synergy Drives Escalating Minimum Area Requirements and Connectivity‐Protection Mismatch in a Karst‐Endemic Primate

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Assessment of the NOAA S-NPP VIIRS Geolocation Reprocessing Improvements

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Long-term time series analysis requires consistent data records from satellites. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar orbiting Partner (S-NPP) satellite launched in 2011 requires a major effort to produce

Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

Optimal new product announcement strategies in supply chains: preannouncement or sudden announcement?

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications
This study examines the impact of the new product’s market potential on a manufacturer’s choice between the new product preannouncement (NPP) and the new product sudden announcement (NPS) strategies and their effects on a retailer’s ordering decisions ...

The Continental Impact of European Forest Conservation Policy and Management on Productivity Stability

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
The ecological impact of continental scale land-use policies that influence forest management is often difficult to quantify. European forest conservation began in 1909 with a marked increase in designated areas with the inception of Natura 2000 in the ...

INDITEK‐2.0: A Bayesian inverse modelling framework for mechanistic evolutionary processes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Mechanistic eco‐evolutionary models are powerful tools for understanding how life diversified over geological timescales, yet estimating their parameters remains a key challenge. The high computational requirements of these models make probabilistic inversion methods unfeasible.
