Rapid Global Deforestation Leaves Forest‐Dependent Raptors With Half of Their Suitable Habitat RemainingNARA Subscribed
Raptors—a group that includes hawks, eagles, owls, and vultures—are among the most imperiled vertebrates, with over half of species declining and one‐fifth threatened with extinction. Most raptors depend on forests for survival, yet the extent and consequences of recent deforestation within their ranges remain poorly understood. We analyzed high‐resolution global data on forest change between 2001 and 2023 within the ranges of...
Responses of the terrestrial biosphere to rapidly changing environmental conditions are a major source of uncertainty in climate projections. In an effort to reduce this uncertainty, a wide range of global change experiments have been conducted that mimic future conditions in terrestrial ecosystems, manipulating CO 2 , temperature, and nutrient and water availability. Syntheses of results across experiments provide a more gene...
In some internal valleys of the northern Andes, precipitation at treeline elevation is seasonal, with one or two dry periods that could exert a strong control on tree seedling survival. However, little is known about (1) the severity of the dry periods, due to a lack of climate data, or (2) the effect of drought on tree seedling demographic dynamics and how this is modulated by local plant interactions in these tropical-alpine...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Changes in Tissue Composition and Load Response After Transtibial Amputation Indicate Biomechanical AdaptationNARA Subscribed
Despite the potential for biomechanical conditioning with prosthetic use, the soft tissues of residual limbs following lower-limb amputation are vulnerable to damage. Imaging studies revealing morphological changes in these soft tissues have not distinguished between superficial and intramuscular adipose distribution, despite the recognition that intramuscular fat levels indicate reduced tolerance to mechanical loading. Furthe...
SoilTemp: A global database of near‐surface temperatureNARA Subscribed
Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long‐term average thermal conditions at coarse spatial resolutions only. Hence, many climate‐forcing factors that operate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions are overlooked. This is particularly important in relation to...
In response to reported findings of infectious salmon anaemia virus ( ISAV ) in British Columbia ( BC ), Canada, in 2011, U.S. national, state and tribal fisheries managers and fish health specialists developed and implemented a collaborative ISAV surveillance plan for the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Accordingly, over a 3‐1/2‐year period, 4,962 salmonids were sampled and successfully tested by real‐time reve...
