Historical ecology reveals the "surprising" direction and extent of shifting baselines for the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostis).
PLoS One
November 2024
Department of Anthropology, George Washington University, Washington, D.C., United States of America.
Historical data are often overlooked in risk assessments and recovery plans for marine animals, resulting in the "shifting baselines." Historical ecological studies demonstrate the "surprising" extent to which contemporary assumptions misrepresent premodern baselines. The Florida manatee, a subspecies of the West Indian manatee found primarily in Florida, USA, faces several existential threats, but risk assessments and recovery targets for the species are hindered by poor understanding of historical baselines.

Article Synopsis
- - The population of Newfoundland and Labrador primarily descends from 18th-19th century settlers from England and Ireland, with genetic studies showing it's an isolated founder population with limited diversity.
- - A study analyzed 1,110 Y chromosomes and identified 160 distinct haplogroups, predominantly of the R1b type, mirroring the haplogroups found in English and Irish populations.
- - The research highlighted geographical and religious clustering within the population, indicating that historical settlement patterns and limited immigration have shaped the genetic structure of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Rare and highly destructive wildfires drive human migration in the U.S.
Nat Commun
August 2024
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
The scale of wildfire impacts to the built environment is growing and will likely continue under rising average global temperatures. We investigate whether and at what destruction threshold wildfires have influenced human mobility patterns by examining the migration effects of the most destructive wildfires in the contiguous U.S.

Reprod Health
May 2024
Rakai Health Sciences Program, Kalisizo, Uganda.
Background: Low use of modern methods of contraception has been linked to HIV seropositivity and to migration, but few studies have evaluated the intersection of both risk factors with contraceptive use.
Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from sexually active female participants aged 15 to 49 years in the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) between 2011 and 2013. The RCCS is an open population-based census and individual survey in south-central Uganda.
