Article Synopsis
- Wolverines in North America have seen a reduction in their distribution due to human activities during the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to their threatened status in the US and special concern status in Canada.
- A study collected 882 genetic samples to analyze landscape connectivity factors, focusing on terrain complexity, human disturbance, forest configuration, and climate across a vast region of southwestern Canada and northwestern US.
- Findings showed that human disturbance negatively affects wolverine genetic connectivity, while forest cover and snow persistence help maintain genetic diversity, which can inform future conservation management efforts.
Article Synopsis
- * An evidence-based design framework is needed to create strategies for mitigating urbanization's effects, with a focus on biodiversity and ecosystem health.
- * The proposed Hub and Spoke model integrates various sectors and uses a six-building-blocks structure to promote sustainable, health-centered, and inclusive urban environments.
In serpentine soils, the low level of calcium relative to magnesium (Ca:Mg) is detrimental to the growth of most plant species. Ecotypic variation in Erythranthe guttata allows for some populations to maintain high photosynthetic rates and biomass despite low Ca:Mg. In this study, the mechanism of tolerance was investigated by treating hydroponically grown plants with either high (1.

No current method can determine an exact chronological age due to individual variations in biological development. This study seeks to develop a validated statistical model for estimating an age relative to key legal thresholds (15, 18, and 21 years) based on a skeletal (CT-clavicle, radiography-hand/wrist or MR-knee) and tooth (radiography-third molar) developmental stages.
