Abundance estimates of eastern black rails in southeastern Colorado

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
This study estimated eastern black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) detection, occupancy, and abundance in southeastern Colorado. We found detection probability increased later in the season and later at night but decreased with ambient noise. Occupancy increased with residual vegetation height and detection of Virginia rail (Rallus limicola).

Integrating fecal DNA and telemetry to estimate wildlife densities in anthropogenic landscapes

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Density estimation is central to wildlife management efforts but can be challenging in anthropogenic landscapes due to small parcel sizes, access restrictions, and limited green space. We evaluated (a) the use of a plot‐based spatial capture‐recapture sampling design to estimate deer density in developed landscapes and (b) if integrating telemetry data

Surface Flashover in 50 Years: III. Extreme Environments and Industrial Challenges

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern high‐voltage electrical equipment operates in complex environments where surface conditions are subjected to multifaceted influences from electric fields, thermal gradients, contaminants, irradiation and other extreme environmental factors.

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

Early‐life stasis in partial seasonal migration is underpinned by among‐cohort variation in migratory plasticity and selective disappearance

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Changes to mean early‐life phenotypes are fundamentally driven by joint dynamics of plasticity and selection, but such effects are rarely quantified. We show that cross‐cohort stasis in the degree of partial migration is underpinned by substantial within‐ and among‐cohort variation in plasticity and selection on migration, indicating high environmental

Fragmented and Dealigned: The 2024 British General Election and the Rise of Place‐Based Politics

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 13-25, January/March 2025.
Abstract While the outcome of the 2024 British general election signalled a resounding repudiation of the incumbent government—returning a 231‐seat swing from the Conservatives to Labour—it did not radically overturn the geography of electoral outcomes in England and Wales.

Kinship through code, personhood as node: AI afterlives and new technologies of the self Parenté par le code, personne nodale : vie posthume dans l'IA et nouvelles technologies du moi

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article examines how emerging generative AI technologies in Europe and North America are being used to reanimate the dead, prompting users to define the ‘edges’ of self and personhood through coding practices. These technologies invite new engagements with fundamental questions of relatedness and the construction of the self, challenging and ...

Winston Churchill and South Africa: An Enduring, yet Debatable Connection, 1899–1955

History, EarlyView.
Abstract The article traces Churchill's engagement with South Africa, from his time as a newspaper correspondent during the Anglo‐Boer War to his services in both Liberal and Conservative cabinets as well as, ultimately, his premiership. The discussion highlights three phases in this relationship.
