Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalvesNARA Subscribed
Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa. Thus, MMEs of freshwater bivalves have important implications for conservation and ecosystems. Despite this, little is known a...
Multifactor analysis of specific storage estimates and implications for transient groundwater modellingNARA Subscribed
Specific storage ( S S ) has considerable predictive importance in the modelling of groundwater systems, yet little is known about its statistical distribution and dependency on other hydrogeological characteristics. This study provides a comprehensive overview and compiles 430 values of S S from 183 individual studies, along with complementary hydrogeological information such as estimation methods, lithology, porosity, and fo...
Reactive fluid flow guided by grain-scale equilibrium reactions during eclogitization of dry crustal rocksNARA Subscribed
Fluid flow in crystalline rocks in the absence of fractures or ductile shear zones dominantly occurs by grain boundary diffusion, as it is faster than volume diffusion. It is, however, unclear how reactive fluid flow is guided through such pathways. We present a microstructural, mineral chemical, and thermodynamic analysis of a static fluid-driven reaction from dry granulite to ‘wet’ eclogite. Fluid infiltration resulted in re...
West Nile virus is predicted to be more geographically widespread in New York State and Connecticut under future climate changeNARA Subscribed
The effects of climate change on infectious diseases are a topic of considerable interest and discussion. We studied West Nile virus (WNV) in New York (NY) and Connecticut (CT) using a Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model climate change scenario, which allows us to examine the effects of climate change and variability on WNV risk at county level. We chose WNV because it is well studied, has caused over 50,000 reported...
Shrubline but not treeline advance matches climate velocity in montane ecosystems of south‐central AlaskaNARA Subscribed
Tall shrubs and trees are advancing into many tundra and wetland ecosystems but at a rate that often falls short of that predicted due to climate change. For forest, tall shrub, and tundra ecosystems in two pristine mountain ranges of Alaska, we apply a Bayesian, error‐propagated calculation of expected elevational rise (climate velocity), observed rise (biotic velocity), and their difference (biotic inertia). We show a sensit...
