Variation in body size and sexual size dimorphism in the most widely ranging lizard: testing the effects of reproductive mode and climate. [PDF]
We analyzed the association of adult body size and sexual size dimorphism (SSD) with reproductive mode (viviparity vs. oviparity), lineage identity, and climate in the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara), the species occupying almost entire Northern Eurasia.

Abstract Premise Field images are important sources of information for research in the natural sciences. However, images that lack photogrammetric scale bars, including most iNaturalist observations, cannot yield accurate trait measurements. We introduce FieldPrism, a novel system of photogrammetric markers, QR codes, and software to automate the ...

Abstract Premise Quantitative plant traits play a crucial role in biological research. However, traditional methods for measuring plant morphology are time consuming and have limited scalability. We present LeafMachine2, a suite of modular machine learning and computer vision tools that can automatically extract a base set of leaf traits from digital ...

Does growing atmospheric CO2 explain increasing carbon sink in a boreal coniferous forest?
Trends and inter‐annual variability of carbon and water exchange of a boreal coniferous‐dominated forest in southern Finland was studied by combining 17 years eddy‐covariance data with process‐model scenarios. We found increase of net carbon sink (+6.4–7.0 gC m−2 a−1) but no change in evapotranspiration.

Variable Physical Drivers of Near‐Surface Turbulence in a Regulated River
Abstract Inland waters, such as lakes, reservoirs and rivers, are important sources of climate forcing trace gases. A key parameter that regulates the gas exchange between water and the atmosphere is the gas transfer velocity, which itself is controlled by near‐surface turbulence in the water.
