Identification of Nanoplastics by Probing the Viscous Nanoenvironment
Small Science, EarlyView.An approach for the sensitive detection of nanoplastics is developed by probing the viscous nanoenvironment. The probe, HCY, shows a high sensitivity to nanoplastics, with a detection limit of 0.153 μg mL−1. It exhibits excellent biocompatibility, allowing the monitoring of nanoplastic levels in living cells and the visualization of their distribution ...

Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...
