Evaluating soil storage impacts on aminopeptidase activity can inform the use of aminopeptidase activity in soil N cycling assessments. We evaluated the impact of soil refrigeration (4 °C) and air-drying relative to field-fresh (4 °C for ≤ 3 d) on the activities and sensitivity of eight amino acid-specific aminopeptidase activities across a 42 y N fertilization gradient (0–269 kg N ha − 1 ) over 1.5, 6, 12 and 24 mo storage. S...

There is a growing recognition that effective climate adaptation requires organizations that can translate science into policy-relevant, place-based implementation. The Stone Living Lab (SLL) was established as a climate services organization to help bridge the gap between climate adaptation research and real-world application. In this paper, we present the Lab as a model for how universities and NGOs can partner with governme...

Despite extensive conservation efforts worldwide, biodiversity loss continues, particularly in tropical regions. It is, therefore, essential to develop biodiversity monitoring methods that can be effectively scaled up in both time and space, enabling wildlife managers to quickly assess and respond to changes in populations or communities. We explored the effectiveness of combining camera traps with acoustic methods to survey s...

Chironius laurenti was described based on 27 specimens from localities of the Beni savanna and Chiquitano Dry Forest in Bolivia and one specimen from the Brazilian Cerrado. We examined the holotype of C. laurenti from the department of Beni, Bolivia, as well as most of the paratypes and expanded sample obtained in zoological collections. Based on morphological and molecular data, we restrict the name C. laurenti to the populat...

Drought is a major constraint to plant growth and productivity, and rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are expected to modify plant responses to water limitation. However, how CO₂ enrichment reshapes the physiological, metabolic, and molecular regulation of specialized metabolite production under drought remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the combined effects of elevated CO₂ (e[CO₂]) and drought on plant morph...
