There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

Scale insect abundance peaked in the upper canopy of sugar maples. Parthenolecanium peaked on older internodes; Lepidosaphes on the current leader. Internodes longer than the previous carried more scales; wider ones fewer. Abstract Forest canopies are vertically stratified habitats in which microclimate and host tissue quality vary with height.

The Place for Form in Wollheim's Lectures on Formalism and Pictorial Organization
Abstract At the time of his death, Richard Wollheim was writing a short book on Formalism and Pictorial Organization. Much of it, but by no means all of it, had been published before (it has come out posthumously in its entirety in late 2025). Here I do two things. First, I have provided a rather detailed exegesis concentrating on the parts of the book

Support, reciprocity, and kinship as seeds of Indigenous family resilience during COVID‐19
Abstract Objective Our goal was to better understand the impact of COVID‐19 on Indigenous family coping. The focal research question was the following: What protective factors do Indigenous women cite as buffering stressors related to COVID‐19 for themselves and their families? Background During the COVID‐19 pandemic, Indigenous peoples experienced the

A New Approach to Transforming Airborne Electromagnetic Data into Models of Sediment Type
A new methodology provides the relationship needed to transform electrical resistivity measurements from airborne electromagnetic surveys to sediment type. By accounting for the physics of the measurement and the quality of the driller's logs used in developing the transform, the method improves the accuracy of derived sediment type models.
