The Physics of Snow Crystal Formation

Snow crystals are among the most extraordinary examples of spontaneous pattern formation in nature. Despite their apparent simplicity—water vapor freezing into ice—the resulting morphologies exhibit astonishing diversity, including stellar dendrites, hollow columns, capped columns, needles, plates, and more than one hundred classified types.

Development of Selective Plane Illumination Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectral Microscopy for Improved Cellular Imaging

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Selective plane illumination (SPI) is combined with SERS spectral imaging to reduce background, improve image contrast, and enable improved spectroscopy from molecules on the surface of nanoparticles. This approach provides improved imaging and spectroscopy from nanoparticles in complex environments, such as biological cells.

Modeling long‐term population viability to inform recovery of a functionally extinct urban Blanding's turtle population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

Combining the Underwater Vision Profiler 6 with sediment traps to measure in situ velocity of marine particles

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Particles sinking from the surface to the deep ocean play a key role in the biological carbon pump, whose efficiency depends partly on sinking velocities. Over the last decade, in situ imaging has enabled critical advances in our understanding of particle dynamics in the ocean.

Perceptions of Patients and Health Professionals Regarding the Experience of Patients With a Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Research in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (HCR), which combines supervised center‐based and monitored home‐based exercise programs, gained popularity during the COVID‐19 pandemic. While HCR appears to be as effective as standard cardiac rehabilitation, patients' experiences within these programs remain largely unexplored.

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Understanding smallholder decision‐making to increase farm tree diversity: Enablers and barriers for forest landscape restoration in Western Kenya

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

Drivers of human attitudes towards wolves Canis lupus in Kazakhstan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Kazakhstan is recognized as a key stronghold for the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Nonetheless, the wolf status and the dynamics of human‐wolf coexistence in the region remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring current attitudes towards wolves in Kazakhstan and identify the underlying drivers of these attitudes.

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are
