ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor
We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.
