Thermal and dielectric properties of Juno’s regolith at one millimeter wavelength Thermal and dielectric properties of Juno’s regolith at one millimeter wavelength
We present the modeling results of the thermal lightcurve of asteroid (3) Juno at the wavelength of λ = 1.3 mm measured by the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array. A thermophysical model together with a radiative transfer model suggests a thermal inertia of 13 ± 10 [J m−2 K−1 s−0.5], an equivalent emissivity of 0.8 ± 0.1, a loss tangent of 0.4 ± 0.3, and an index of refraction 1...

Relationship of satellite-derived fire severity to archaeological fire severity and fire effects in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA Relationship of satellite-derived fire severity to archaeological fire severity and fire effects in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA
Background Archaeological attributes important for determining cultural affiliation, site age, or artifact origin can be damaged or destroyed by wildfires. Satellite-derived fire severity products are used in post-fire rapid response to prioritize and guide stabilization and preservation activities, but their ability to predict archaeological fire impacts has not yet been tested. We...

Mangrove ecosystems: Importance, threats and opportunities for restoration Mangrove ecosystems: Importance, threats and opportunities for restoration
Mangroves are crucial for biodiversity conservation, coastal protection, and supporting local livelihoods. Mangroves may also protect coasts from storms and rising sea levels and can play a major role in climate mitigation. Threats to their health include activities such as infrastructural development, urban encroachment, aquaculture and crop farming, and oil and gas exploration. We...

Tag retention, growth, condition, and survival of externally marked Yellow Perch Tag retention, growth, condition, and survival of externally marked Yellow Perch
Objective: Determining the movement and survival of Yellow Perch Perca flavescens that inhabit Lake Erie is a priority management concern, yet contemporary understanding of their cross-jurisdictional movements and exploitation is lacking. To support future movement and survival studies, we evaluated the retention rates, condition, growth, and survival associated with four external...

Advances and applications of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) research in landscape ecology Advances and applications of Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) research in landscape ecology
Landscape ecologists have long depended on satellite and aerial remote sensing to address questions about landscape pattern and process, structure, and change (Foody 2023). Unoccupied aerial systems/vehicles (UAS/UAV, a.k.a. drones) technology is becoming an increasingly popular research tool in environmental sciences allowing scientists to generate low-cost, high-quality, and high...

Cost of migration increased during an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus Cost of migration increased during an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus
Migration is thought to be costly such that challenges faced during migration likely affect how birds migrate through direct selection on migratory behavior. Survival throughout the annual cycle and conditions that affect the survival costs of migration are therefore critical to our understanding of the causes and consequences of migration. Estimating daily survival throughout the annual...

Leveraging local species data, a global database, and an occupancy model to explore bee–plant interactions Leveraging local species data, a global database, and an occupancy model to explore bee–plant interactions
Global declines in bee populations are threatening the ecosystem services they provide, including pollination. Many bee–plant interactions are understudied, producing an incomplete understanding of resulting ecosystem-level vulnerabilities. The last decade has generated a wealth of opportunistic data originating from natural history collection records, published ecological datasets, and...

Compact seismicity bursts have different characteristics from regional seismicity Compact seismicity bursts have different characteristics from regional seismicity
Earthquakes tend to cluster, developing into sequences driven by stress perturbations and transient fault-zone processes. Depending on the driving process, earthquake sequences show differing behaviors. This variability challenges our ability to observe or distinguish these driving processes in high resolution. Here we systematically identify seismicity bursts throughout southern...

Tidal wetland soil carbon accumulation rates for coastal California Tidal wetland soil carbon accumulation rates for coastal California
Carbon stock and carbon accumulation rate data are vital to multiple aspects of tidal wetland conservation and restoration policy. In California, USA tidal soil data are rare outside of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento Delta regions, despite the differing conditions experienced by the outer coastline. Here we provide carbon stocks and decadal-to-centennial-scale carbon accumulation...
