Refuges alter elk distribution: a case study of public and private land management strategies

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife managers have traditionally relied on hunting to manage elk Cervus canadensis population abundance; however, problems with elk over‐abundance and/or distributions have arisen across the western US as private landowners restrict public hunting and refuges are created.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Crystallography in school

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
Preconditions and applications for teaching crystallography in high school chemistry classes are presented.The study of crystallography and the introduction to X‐ray structure analysis are generally regarded as tasks for universities and, even then, usually only in graduate studies.

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...
