Successful translocation of an imperiled amphibian following targeted habitat restoration efforts
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 ...

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–

Assessing Wildfire Hazard for Powerline Expansion Under the Changing Climates in Alberta, Canada
Abstract Escaped powerline‐caused fires (EPFs) are increasing in fire‐prone regions, including Alberta, Canada, underscoring growing tensions between expanding powerlines and managing wildfire risk. As fire‐conducive weather becomes more frequent, it remains unclear how future infrastructure can be planned to minimize wildfire risk.

Reframing the human–robot ratio: Collaborative autonomy and the attention‐demand economy
Abstract The human–robot ratio is a useful design heuristic for supervisory robot control. However, advances in AI, computation, and reliable autonomy enable existing systems to extend beyond hierarchical supervision to more flexible organizations of interdependent team members.

Criteria-Based Identification of Important Fuels for Wildland Fire Emission Research
Studies of the emissions from wildland fires are important for understanding the role of these events in the production, transport, and fate of emitted gases and particulate matter, and, consequently, their impact on atmospheric and ecological processes,
