Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Smoke signals: Measuring wildlife smoke exposure with animal‐borne and stationary sensors

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent and more severe, producing smoke plumes that degrade air quality hundreds of kilometres away and for days to weeks after an active fire. Despite public health and safety concerns regarding wildfire smoke, we know little about how free‐ranging wildlife experience or respond to these exposures.

The law of AI knowledge distillation

American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge distillation—the practice of training a compact student model on the outputs of a larger teacher model—has emerged as the fastest‐growing technique for replicating and disseminating frontier artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Commercial treaties and political transformation in Sulu and Southeast Asian littorals, c. 1830–1840

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article re‐examines an economic treaty concluded between Spain and the Sulu Sultanate in 1836. Analysing the Tausug (Jawi) and Spanish treaty versions alongside archival sources from Spain, the Philippines, and England, it traces the impact of indigenous agency beyond the formal signatories on economic and political transformations ...

Adaptive control of vergence in humans

, 2002
Vergence eye alignment minimizes horizontal, vertical, and cyclodisparities to optimize stereo-depth perception. Only the horizontal component of vergence is under voluntary control. Couplings with voluntary version and horizontal vergence guide vertical

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Effects of Voluntary Blinks on Saccades, Vergence Eye Movements, and Saccade-Vergence Interactions in Humans

, 2002
Blinks are known to change the kinematic properties of horizontal saccades, probably by influencing the saccadic premotor circuit. The neuronal basis of this effect could be explained by changes in the activity of omnipause neurons in the nucleus raphe ...

Impact of Metformin and Diabetes on Tumor Response to Total Neoadjuvant Therapy in Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
In advanced rectal cancer patients receiving total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT), overall tumor response did not differ by diabetes status or metformin use. However, among diabetic patients, metformin use was associated with higher overall complete response rates. These findings suggest a potential benefit of metformin in enhancing TNT response in diabetic
