Facial features undergo continuous transformations across the lifespan. This study quantified and visualized the effects of aging on facial morphology in individuals of European ancestry. Three-dimensional facial photographs of 4,038 individuals (1,455 males and 2,583 females), aged 5 to 85 years and of European descent, were analyzed. Morphological changes in the face were modeled using kernel linear regression, with a focus...

Salt marshes in the northeastern United States support several specialized breeding bird species that are threatened by sea level rise (SLR) and coastal development, processes that drive habitat change and fragmentation. There have been rapid, widespread declines in some species, but mechanisms driving population change and whether declines continue remain unclear. We examined the influence of phenomena expected to modify salt...

Pinyon–juniper (PJ) woodlands are an important component of dryland ecosystems across the US West and are potentially susceptible to ecological transformation. However, predicting woodland futures is complicated by species‐specific strategies for persisting and reproducing under drought conditions, uncertainty in future climate, and limitations to inferring demographic rates from forest inventory data. Here, we leverage new de...

High-frequency precipitation variance is calculated in 12 different free-running (non-data-assimilative) coupled high resolution atmosphere–ocean model simulations, an assimilative coupled atmosphere–ocean weather forecast model, and an assimilative reanalysis. The results are compared with results from satellite estimates of precipitation and rain gauge observations. An analysis of irregular sub-daily fluctuations, which was...

Altimeter measurements are corrected for several geophysical parameters in order to access ocean signals of interest, like mesoscale or sub-mesoscale variability. The ocean tide is one of the most critical corrections due to the amplitude of the tidal elevations and to the aliasing phenomena of high-frequency signals into the lower-frequency band, but the internal-tide signatures at the ocean surface are not yet corrected glob...

Coastal marshes are one of the world's most productive ecosystems. Consequently, they have been heavily used by humans for centuries, resulting in ecosystem loss. Direct human modifications such as road crossings and ditches and climatic stressors such as sea‐level rise and extreme storm events have the potential to further degrade the quantity and quality of marsh along coastlines. We used an 18‐year marsh‐bird database to ge...
