Near-Earth solar wind speed of fast coronal mass ejections Near-Earth solar wind speed of fast coronal mass ejections
Using solar wind and ground magnetometer data for solar cycles 23–25, extreme-value power-law models are developed that quantify relationships between near-Earth solar wind speed and Sun-to-Earth transit times of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). The models of near-Earth solar wind speed, conditional on ICME transit time, are (a) approximately stable for transit times as...

Wicked problems in practice: Responding to ecological transformation in wilderness Wicked problems in practice: Responding to ecological transformation in wilderness
Congressionally designated wilderness offers the highest level of land protection in the USA, comparable to category 1b wilderness as defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, yet wilderness areas face impacts of climate change. Researchers and managers increasingly recognize the immense challenge of stewarding wilderness in a changing climate. Although responding to...

Southeastern Utah Federal lands science needs survey Southeastern Utah Federal lands science needs survey
Evidence-based scientific information can help support defensible decision making in the management of public lands. This report sought to identify current (2024–25) Federal agency research needs in southeastern Utah and to synthesize common management challenges and questions across jurisdictional boundaries. We implemented a science needs assessment focused on lands managed by the...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial (ZIG) dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research The Zooplankton International Geospatial (ZIG) dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research
Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited due to methodological differences across programs, taxonomic inconsistencies, and a lack of standardized metadata. To...

Importance of fish in the diet of Adélie penguins across multiple life stages Importance of fish in the diet of Adélie penguins across multiple life stages
Over recent decades, the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) population has grown across most of its range, the exception being the northern coast of the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). In the Ross Sea, the very large Cape Crozier colony grew to reach ~9% of the global population. Demographic factors driving the Cape Crozier trend have yet to be identified. However, low chick fledging...

Shoreline behavior at California groin fields from satellite-based measurements Shoreline behavior at California groin fields from satellite-based measurements
Satellite imagery has helped to provide decades of shoreline change data to coastal regions all over the world. Although shorelines around the globe have been armored with different types of coastal structures to try and protect beaches and properties from erosion, there are few studies of shoreline dynamics within structures such as groin fields using satellite images. Here we apply...

Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress
Limited plant establishment creates demographic bottlenecks that can alter vegetation trajectories in changing environments, yet it is unclear how common eco-evolutionary indicators of plant strategy shape early response to key stressors. We evaluated how early functional traits, phylogeny, and adult climate niche jointly explain seedling drought and freezing tolerance across 49 semi...

Self-similar vent clustering in the Pinacate volcanic field (Sonora, Mexico and Arizona, United States) Self-similar vent clustering in the Pinacate volcanic field (Sonora, Mexico and Arizona, United States)
The spatial distribution of vents in a distributed volcanic field may provide clues about the geometry of the volcanic field’s plumbing system. Distributed volcanism is characterized by magma feeders that are independent of one another, scattered over wide areas, and active for relatively short times (typically less than one hundred years). On the other hand, focused volcanism results in...

Exhumation history of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, from mid- to low-temperature thermochronology: New insights into Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Miocene extension in the northern Rio Grande rift, USA Exhumation history of the Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, from mid- to low-temperature thermochronology: New insights into Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Miocene extension in the northern Rio Grande rift, USA
The Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado records a complex tectonic history that includes Late Cretaceous–Eocene Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Quaternary Rio Grande rift extension. We present new thermochronologic data (40Ar/39Ar, fission-track, (U-Th)/He) and thermal history models that provide insight into this polyphase history and spatiotemporal patterns of extensional...

Lake trout colonization of artificial reefs: Who’s interested, and how long does it take? Lake trout colonization of artificial reefs: Who’s interested, and how long does it take?
Restoring self-sustaining lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations has been a major management objective for decades across the species’ native range. Reproduction has been observed but recruitment has been limited in many areas of the Laurentian Great Lakes. Reef restoration and construction have been proposed to increase recruitment, leading to the construction of experimental...
