We have attempted to re-establish bay scallops to the Virginia, U.S.A. coastal bays and document the dynamics of the restoration effort. Bay scallops ( Argopecten irradians ) once flourished in the eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) of the Virginia coastal bays. Eelgrass wasting disease led to declines, and both eelgrass and scallops were completely lost after a 1933 hurricane. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) led a su...
Two Secondary Introductions From a Shared Bridgehead Population Show Evidence of Divergent and Parallel SelectionNARA Subscribed
Biological invasions offer large‐scale experiments for examining rapid evolution and testing the predictability of adaptive change. Assessing the repeatability of such adaptive responses, however, requires replicated introductions that share similar demographic and environmental contexts. Single introduction events are common during biological invasion, but replicated secondary introductions from a shared source are rare. Here...
Resident and Migratory Falcons' Breeding Phenology and Productivity Respond Differently to Weather and Climate Change Across the ArcticNARA Subscribed
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...
During the Hellenistic-early Roman period (4th − 1st BCE), Sicily played a major role in shaping sociopolitical developments in the Mediterranean. However, despite its experience of major social, economic, and demographic change, including major events such as Greek colonization and Roman expansion, aspects of past life, including diet and nutrition, in Sicily during this period, remain largely unexplored. This paper employed...

SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Mine water as seasonal heat storage in urban regions—a case study for Freiberg (Germany)NARA Subscribed
Seasonal heat storage has been studied in Germany for over 30 years, but to date only a few pilot plant facilities have been built, such as those for borehole geothermal energy storage, pit storage or aquifer storage. A promising yet underutilized approach is the use of abandoned, groundwater-flooded mines for thermal energy storage. These offer high storage capacities due to their large volumes and extensive contact surfaces...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
