The study of the stratosphere-troposphere interaction is important as it can contribute to boosting predictability in the subseasonal-to-seasonal timescale, particularly regarding extremes. This manuscript investigates the relationship between the stratospheric polar vortex and its sudden stratospheric warming and the troposphere in regard to the reflective and absorptive states of the vortex. We explore the eddy heat flux in...

Critical thermal maximum (CT max ) is widely used to measure upper thermal tolerance in fish but is rarely examined in embryos. Upper thermal limits generally depend on an individual's thermal history, which molds plasticity. We examined how thermal acclimation affects thermal tolerance of brook trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) embryos using a novel method to assess CT max in embryos incubated under three thermal regimes. Warm...

Recent conservation planning studies have presented approaches for integrating spatially referenced social (SRS) data with a view to improving the feasibility of conservation action. We reviewed the growing conservation literature on SRS data, focusing on elicited or stated preferences derived through social survey methods such as choice experiments and public participation geographic information systems. Elicited SRS data inc...
