Earth and Planetary PhysicsIonospheric scintillation refers to rapid radio signal amplitude and phase fluctuations due to small-scale irregularities in the ionosphere. Occurring primarily at equatorial and low latitudes, scintillation is linked to equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs),

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

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

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).

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Territorial advertising in lions involves a suite of behaviors such as patrolling, scent marking, spraying, and vocalizing. In their native tropical habitat, wild lions are primarily nocturnal, capitalizing on cooler temperatures and darkness for effective hunting and minimizing thermoregulation stress.

Functional 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 ...
