From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

Long‐term benefits of burns for large mammal habitat undermined by large, severe fires in the American West

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Escalating wildfire frequency and severity are altering wildland habitats worldwide. Yet investigations into fire impacts on wildlife habitat rarely extend to the macroecological scales relevant to species conservation and global change processes. We evaluate the effects of wildfire on habitat quality and selection by large mammals spanning three ...

Flexible Chromatic VIS‐IR Meta‐Textile for Multi‐Scenario Stealth

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A flexible chromatic meta‐textile was developed for multi‐spectral stealth across VIS‐IR bands, combining low color difference, ultralow infrared emissivity, and passive radiative cooling. The textile exhibits excellent VIS wide‐angle compatibility, optical durability, and mechanical flexibility, offering a promising solution for advanced stealth ...
