Climate change is disproportionately warming the Arctic, leading to changes in weather patterns that affect breeding phenology for many Arctic species. Despite extensive research on non‐predatory birds, few studies have examined the impacts of climate change on higher trophic levels, especially those comparing breeding phenology and productivity between migratory and resident species. Our study used long‐term monitoring data f...

The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure. The population of bottlenose dolphins in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, experienced long...

Amblypygi (whip spiders) are an order of arthropods (Subphylum: Chelicerata, Class: Arachnida) that navigate primarily by their keen olfactory abilities. Experiments in the laboratory reveal that the species Phrynus marginemaculatus forms both short and long-term memories for odors associated with access to a shelter. While bioamine function and location in the whip spider nervous system remain completely unexplored, comparati...

Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...

Purpose Passive heating has emerged as a potential non‑exercise method to support muscle strength and mass, but its application is limited by inconsistent protocols and unclear dosage and safety guidelines. This study used a Delphi methodology to establish expert consensus on key parameters for passive heating interventions targeting neuromuscular and muscle morphology outcomes. Methods An international panel of academic exper...

Enteric microbial dysbiosis can contribute to the pathobiology of canine diabetes mellitus (DM) by interfering with host metabolism, promoting inflammation, and altering incretin hormone responses. Enriching and diversifying an unbalanced gastrointestinal microbiome with microbiome-based interventions such as lyophilized fecal preparations (LFP) can help improve gut function and glycemic control of diabetic dogs. This study ai...

Skeletal bones and antlers from past generations of wildlife are frequently found and consumed by other animals, living out a second life as an important dietary resource. Such gnawing may leave characteristic modifications, including tooth marks, providing physical evidence of a behavior and nutrient resource that is often challenging to directly observe and quantify. Documenting and interpreting features of bone modification...

On November 27, 2022, Mauna Loa erupted for the first time in 38 years, threatening a major highway on the Island of Hawaiʻi. The opening phases of the eruption were focused at the volcano’s summit, before magma propagated into the upper Northeast Rift Zone to erupt at four fissure segments that localized at fissure 3 by December 2. This fissure produced a braided ʻaʻā flow that traversed the steep north flank at >1 km/hr, bef...
