Mineral exploration in the Arctic is challenging, resulting in decreased survey and mineral discovery rates. Data-driven mineral prospectivity mapping is intended to reduce exploration risk by delineating promising areas. However, data sparsity, especially of deposit locations, is a critical bottleneck. In this study, we developed and tested a method to conduct data-driven mineral prospectivity mapping in regions where annotat...

Non‐indigenous zooplankton species pose a biosecurity threat to New Zealand’s freshwater native taxa. Nine species are known to have established in New Zealand lakes to date. The spread of some zooplankton taxa is linked to the translocation of farmed fish, principally grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ), and recreational vessel movements. The aims of this study were to assess the effectiveness of a range of chemical and ph...

Structurally different from even-aged and balanced uneven-aged stands, irregular stands are an integral part of forested landscapes in northeastern North America. The maintenance or restoration of irregular stand structure may be desirable, especially in areas under ecosystem-based management. This can be achieved at the stand level through the implementation of irregular shelterwood systems. The objectives of this synthesis a...

Nauplii and adults of Robertsonia propinqua , a marine sediment‐dwelling copepod, were used in 96‐h static range‐finder toxicity tests to assess the lethal concentration at which 50% of test organisms are killed (LC 50 ) by atrazine (a herbicide) and zinc sulfate. Atrazine and zinc sulfate were used at concentrations near LC 50 values published for crustaceans. LC 50 values for R. propinqua nauplii were 1.5 mg/litre for atrazi...
