Many species are experiencing drastic and multidimensional changes to their environment due to anthropogenic events. These multidimensional changes may act nonadditively on physiological and life history responses, and thus may not be predicted by responses to single dimensional environmental changes. Therefore, work is needed to understand species' responses to multiple aspects of change.

This study looked at a medicine called (beck-so-teh-grast) as a possible treatment for (i-dee-uh-pa-thick pul-muh-ner-ee fie-bro-sis; IPF). is an investigational medicine, which means that it is being studied and has not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for people with IPF to take as a treatment.

- Automated radio telemetry systems (ARTS) can significantly enhance our understanding of animal movements by offering continuous location tracking, but localization errors are often high due to complex natural environments.
- A study in the Colombian high Andes tested different localization methods and identified factors affecting accuracy, revealing localization error ranged from 0.4 to 1929 meters depending on the method and environmental conditions.
- Results highlighted that improving signal strength and data smoothing could enhance accuracy, which may allow researchers to better analyze the movements and behaviors of small animals, such as high-altitude hummingbirds.
Article Synopsis
- GAM4water is a new R-based method designed to classify wetted and non-wetted areas in remotely sensed images using image indices.
- The algorithm employs a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) that effectively handles non-linear responses and is compatible with various types of radiometric data, including drone and satellite imagery.
- Tests in two case studies demonstrate that GAM4water can accurately classify these areas while providing flexible outputs, including binary rasters and detailed reports, without needing complex setup.
