Atmospheric Flash Drought in the Caribbean
(American Meteorological Society, 2023-09-13)Despite the intensifying interest in flash drought both within the U.S. and globally, moist tropical landscapes have largely escaped the attention of the flash drought community. Because these ecozones are acclimatized to ... -
Quantifying longline bycatch mortality for pelagic sharks in western Pacific shark sanctuaries
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2023-08)Marine protected areas are increasingly touted for their role in conserving large marine predators such as sharks, but their efficacy is debated. Seventeen “shark sanctuaries” have been established globally, but longline ... -
The effects of projected climate change on crop water availability in the US Caribbean
(IWA Publishing, 2023-04)Anthropogenic climate change affects small islands, and farming systems in the Caribbean are vulnerable to climate change due to their high dependence on rainfall. Therefore, this work evaluated how temperature and ... -
Sustainable and Secure Transport: Achieving Environmental Impact Reductions by Optimizing Pallet-Package Strength Interactions during Transport
(MDPI, 2023-08-22)Increasing quantities of products are being transported across widely distributed supply networks; the sustainability of the packaging used to transport these goods, or unit loads, presents an area of potential concern. ... -
Near-term forecasts of NEON lakes reveal gradients of environmental predictability across the US
(Wiley, 2023-04)The US National Ecological Observatory Network's (NEON's) standardized monitoring program provides an unprecedented opportunity for comparing the predictability of ecosystems. To harness the power of NEON data for examining ... -
Soil Respiration and Related Abiotic and Remotely Sensed Variables in Different Overstories and Understories in a High-Elevation Southern Appalachian Forest
(MDPI, 2023-08-15)Accurately predicting soil respiration (Rs) has received considerable attention recently due to its importance as a significant carbon flux back to the atmosphere. Even small changes in Rs can have a ... -
Evaluation of predicted loss of different land use and land cover (LULC) due to coastal erosion in Bangladesh
(Frontiers, 2023-04)Coastal erosion is one of the most significant environmental threats to coastal communities globally. In Bangladesh, coastal erosion is a regularly occurring and major destructive process, impacting both human and ecological ... -
Assessing opportunities and inequities in undergraduate ecological forecasting education
(Wiley, 2023-05)Conducting ecological research in a way that addresses complex, real-world problems requires a diverse, interdisciplinary and quantitatively trained ecology and environmental science workforce. This begins with equitably ... -
International Supply Chain Handling Practices and the Quality of Heat-treated, White Oak Veneer Logs
(North Carolina State University Department of Wood & Paper Science, 2023-05)The most promising alternative to the methyl bromide fumigation of exported logs is steam-heating the log in a vacuum. Research has confirmed that steam heating to 56 degrees C for 30 minutes kills all viable propagules ... -
Conservation Genetics of Clinch Dace Chrosomus sp. cf. saylori
(MDPI, 2023-07-13)Clinch Dace (Chrosomus sp. cf. saylori) is a newly recognized and yet-undescribed species of minnow with a restricted and fragmented distribution in the upper Tennessee River basin in southwestern Virginia, ... -
Pandemic Simulator: An Agent-Based Framework with Human Behavior Modeling for Pandemic-Impact Assessment to Build Sustainable Communities
(MDPI, 2023-07-17)It is crucial to immediately curb the spread of a disease once an outbreak is identified in a pandemic. An agent-based simulator will enable policymakers to evaluate the effectiveness of different hypothetical strategies ... -
Environmental Complexity and Reduced Stocking Density Promote Positive Behavioral Outcomes in Broiler Chickens
(MDPI, 2023-06-23)The objective was to evaluate the impacts of a complex environment and stocking density on Ross 708 broiler chicken behaviors. Eight pens contained either high complexity (HC) or low complexity (LC) environments, and high ... -
Utah Results of the Wildlife Viewer Survey: Enhancing Relevancy and Engaging Support from a Broader Constituency
(Virginia Tech, 2023-07-07)Wildlife viewing is among the fastest growing outdoor recreation activities in the United States, with significant implications for the work of wildlife agencies. While important insights have emerged piece-meal from a ... -
Effects of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Control Using Imidacloprid on Leaf-Level Physiology of Eastern Hemlock
(MDPI, 2023-06-14)Widespread mortality of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis [L.] Carr.) has been occurring due to the introduction of hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae Annand) (HWA), threatening millions of hectares of ... -
TEMPO-Oxidized Cellulose Nanofibril Films Incorporating Graphene Oxide Nanofillers
(MDPI, 2023-06-11)To design a new system of novel TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs)/graphene oxide (GO) composite, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation was utilized. For the better dispersion ... -
A Synthesis of the Ecology and Conservation of Pseudoplatystoma Catfishes in the Neotropics
(MDPI, 2023-06-07)Species of the genus Pseudoplatystoma, the long-whiskered catfishes, are important in commercial and recreational fisheries in South America, and some species have become key to regional aquaculture. Some species ... -
GWAS on the Attack by Aspen Borer Saperda calcarata on Black Cottonwood Trees Reveals a Response Mechanism Involving Secondary Metabolism and Independence of Tree Architecture
(MDPI, 2023-05-30)Black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) is a species of economic interest and an outstanding study model. The aspen borer (Saperda calcarata) causes irreversible damage to poplars and other riparian species ... -
Importance of tree diameter and species for explaining the temporal and spatial variations of xylem water delta O-18 and delta H-2 in a multi-species forest
(Wiley, 2023-05)Identifying the vegetation and topographic variables influencing the isotopic variability of xylem water of forest vegetation remains crucial to interpret and predict ecohydrological processes in landscapes. In this study, ... -
Draft Genome Sequences of 158 Listeria monocytogenes Strains Isolated from Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in the United States
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-06)Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for severe foodborne disease and major economic losses, but its potential reservoirs in natural ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 158 ...
