Climate and Socio‐Sexual Environment Predict Interpopulation Variation in Chemical Signaling Glands in a Widespread Lizard

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Leaf‐wood classification of terrestrial laser scanning data with co‐registered near‐infrared photography

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Due to their importance for climate change monitoring, modelling and adaptation, vegetation structural properties including leaf area index (LAI) are designated essential climate variables (ECVs) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).

Bridging the gap between remotely sensed phenology and the underlying ecophysiological processes: The SWELL model

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Vegetation phenology studies the periodic recurrence of plant life‐cycle events and is essential for understanding ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Remote sensing has become a key tool for monitoring phenological events on large spatial and temporal scales, primarily using vegetation indices like the Normalized Difference ...

Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

Coupling in situ and remote sensing data to assess α‐ and β‐diversity over biogeographic gradients

Ecography, EarlyView.
The mapping of plant biodiversity represents a fundamental stage in establishing conservation priorities, particularly in identifying groups of species that share ecological requirements or evolutionary histories. This is often achieved by assessing different spatial diversity patterns in plant population distributions.

Associations of extreme weather, El Niño events, and streamflow with the annual apparent survival of a migratory riparian bird in the western United States

Ibis, EarlyView.
Neotropical avian migrants are affected by environmental change throughout their full annual cycles. In the southwestern United States, these species rely on riparian corridors for food and water, for migration stopover sites, and as breeding grounds. Climate change imperils these essential ecosystems, with the southwest predicted to become hotter and ...

Masking Ability of CAD‐CAM Materials at Different Thicknesses: A Study on Color, Translucency, and Infinite Optical Thickness

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the masking ability of different thicknesses of CAD‐CAM resin‐matrix and feldspar porcelain materials. Materials and Methods Specimens (Ø7.5 mm, thickness 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm, n = 3/material) were fabricated from Lava Ultimate‐LU, Grandio Blocs‐GB, VITA Enamic‐VE, and VITA Mark II‐VM.

Analysis of Aesthetic Preferences Regarding Gingival–Dental Color Combinations

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Statement of Problem It is our view that the color of teeth and gingiva needs to be analyzed conjointly, given their close anatomical interrelation and the lack of research on perceptions of this chromatic combination. Objective To determine aesthetic preferences concerning the chromatic combination of ceramic gingival specimens and acrylic ...

Greater Than the Sum of the Parts: Revisiting the Enhancement Effect in Photosynthesis Using Simulated Sun‐ and Shade‐Light

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Far‐red light (FR) alone drives photosynthesis poorly, but when combined with shorter wavelengths it enhances photosynthesis beyond the sum of their individual effects—a phenomenon known as the Emerson enhancement effect. This effect is well‐established for narrowband PAR‐FR mixtures, and recent results show it also occurs within broadband ...

Plant Morphology and a Phytochrome B Model Reveal That the Effects of Far‐Red Light on Shade‐Avoidance‐Like Responses Persist Under High Light Intensity

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Several studies have concluded that high photon flux density (PFD) attenuates the effects of the red (R; 600–699 nm) to far‐red (FR; 700–750 nm) light ratio on morphology. However, the suppressive effects can depend on individual wavebands that modulate photoreceptor activity. We postulated that morphological responses of shade‐avoiding plants
