Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

Wildland fire typologies and extreme temperatures in NE Spain
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017 Understanding instrumental factors dealing with the development of large wildland fires is a need. Fire spread typologies and extreme temperature days were studied in the 1978-2012 period in Aragón (NE Spain).

Multimodal Wildland Fire Smoke Detection
Remote Sensing, 2023 Research has shown that climate change creates warmer temperatures and drier conditions, leading to longer wildfire seasons and increased wildfire risks in the United States. These factors have, in turn, led to increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of wildfires in recent years.

Successful translocation of an imperiled amphibian following targeted habitat restoration efforts
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Recovery strategies have increasingly called for the use of conservation translocations to overcome barriers to natural recolonization of suitable habitat to reverse population declines. The critically imperiled Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) has experienced severe range contractions and local extirpations across most of ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Wildfires alter local atmospheric conditions, yet the spatial extent and frequency‐dependent characteristics of fire‐induced inflow perturbations remain largely unquantified. This study applies Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEMD) to analyze high‐frequency horizontal wind speed data from a tower positioned at varying distances (∼80–
