Human Impacts on Forest Biodiversity in Protected Walnut-Fruit Forests in Kyrgyzstan [PDF]

, 2014
We used a spatially explicit model of forest dynamics, supported by empirical field data and socioeconomic data, to examine the impacts of human disturbances on a protected forest landscape in Kyrgyzstan.

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Space and resource use by American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos in an area endemic for chronic wasting disease

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...

A Simplified Theory of External Occulters for Solar Coronagraphs

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a first-principles analytic treatment of modern multivane occulters in circular (coronagraph) and linear (heliospheric imager) geometry, develop a simplified theory that is useful for designing and predicting their performance, explain certain

Desegregationist Pan‐African Spiritual Strivings: Du Bois, the Black Church and the Critique of Imperialism*

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl Withdrawal Treated with Macro-Dosed Buprenorphine Induction: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Psychoactives
Background: Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (MP) is a semi-synthetic kratom metabolite increasingly sold online and over-the-counter, marketed misleadingly as “kratom” or “7-OH,” despite lacking FDA approval and safety data in humans. Methods: This case report

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Comparing verbenone‐based repellents for ambrosia beetle management in eastern apple orchards

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Non‐native ambrosia beetles (Xylosandrus germanus, X. crassiusculus, Anisandrus maiche) damage high‐density apple orchards across the eastern United States, motivating the search for selective, semiochemical‐based repellent strategies. Across Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, three verbenone formulations, sachets, SPLAT® VERB and a test SPLAT ...
