Unprecedented rates of urbanisation cause detrimental impacts on the natural environment. Two of the most prominent and ubiquitous urban stressors are artificial light at night (ALAN) and the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Individually, these two stressors have a wide array of effects on physiological, behavioural, and life-history traits of organisms. However, stressors rarely work in isolation, and the potential interaction...

The Paso Del Norte (PdN) region comprises the city of El Paso, TX, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and some neighboring cities in the state of New Mexico. Developing a regional weather model for this specific region has always been challenging due to its complex terrain. To obtain more accurate weather and pollution forecasting for the PdN region, the results of the downscaled WRF (Weather Research and Forecast) model were intercompare...

Aim The role of migratory birds in the spread of parasites is poorly known, in part because migratory strategies and behaviours potentially affecting transmission are not easy to study. We investigated the dynamics of infection by blood parasites through the annual cycle of a long‐distance Nearctic–Neotropical migratory songbird to examine the role of this species in dispersing parasites between continents. Location The Americ...
