Drainage Water Reuse Through a Baffled Constructed Wetland System: A Pilot Study in the Harran Plain, Türkiye

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The reuse of agricultural drainage water requires low‐cost pretreatment for sediments and salts. This study developed a pilot‐scale horizontal surface‐flow baffled constructed wetland for passive pretreatment of agricultural drainage water.

Thermal Ecology and Thermoregulatory Behavior of the Invasive Turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans, in the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of invasive species, which pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, hinges on their physiological and ecological adaptive capacities to the environments into which they are introduced. Trachemys scripta elegans (T. scripta elegans), recognized as one of the world's 100 most invasive species, has spread across a wide ...

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Nearshore wave buoy data from southeastern Australia for coastal research and management

Scientific Data
Wind wave observations in shallow coastal waters are essential for calibrating, validating, and improving numerical wave models to predict sediment transport, shoreline change, and coastal hazards such as beach erosion and oceanic inundation.

The art of avoidance: bedsite use, antipredator strategies, and predation risk in white‐tailed deer fawns

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Urban heat island linkages with the landscape morphology

Scientific Reports
The landscape consists of a mosaic of interacting ecosystem elements, which maintain stability and aid in sustaining crucial services. Unplanned developmental activities leading to the transition of pervious surfaces into impervious/paved surfaces have ...

Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

Mapping landowners' willingness to allow recreational deer harvest on their property for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We demonstrate an approach for mapping the probability of landowners' willingness to allow wildlife management actions on their property using chronic wasting disease as a case study. Larger property sizes were associated with higher landowner willingness. We mapped predictions across the contiguous United States at the census tract level.

Annual survival and resource selection of juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee, USA, selected areas with smaller patch sizes and lower proportions of developed land. Annual survival was 0.73 and decreased as dense land cover such as young and deciduous forest increased and cover types with high visibility decreased. Abstract Documenting juvenile male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)
