Thermal sensitivity across forest vertical profiles: patterns, mechanisms, and ecological implications
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-01)
Discovery of rosin-based acylhydrazone derivatives as potential antifungal agents against rice Rhizoctonia solani for sustainable crop protection
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2023-02)
BACKGROUNDThe use of fungicides to protect crops from diseases is an effective method, and novel environmentally friendly plant-derived fungicides with enhanced performance and low toxicity are urgent requirements for ...
More and bigger lizards reside on islands with more resources
(The Natural History PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03)
While global patterns in body size evolution in island vertebrates have been described extensively, the ecological processes that generate these patterns are not well understood. Here we used variation among lizard populations ...
Turbulent Heat Fluxes during an Extreme Lake-Effect Snow Event
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-12-01)
Proper modeling of the turbulent heat fluxes over lakes is critical for accurate predictions of lake-effect snowfall (LES). However, model evaluation of such a process has not been possible because of the lack of direct ...
Can Hydrological Models Benefit From Using Global Soil Moisture, Evapotranspiration, and Runoff Products as Calibration Targets?
(NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC)Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-02)
Hydrological models are usually calibrated to in-situ streamflow observations with reasonably long and uninterrupted records. This is challenging for poorly gage or ungaged basins where such information is not available. ...
A hydrological prediction system based on the SVS land-surface scheme: efficient calibration of GEM-Hydro for streamflow simulation over the Lake Ontario basin
(European Geosciences Union, 2017-09-28)
This work explores the potential of the distributed GEM-Hydro runoff modeling platform, developed at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) over the last decade. More precisely, the aim is to develop a robust ...
Resolving hydrometeorological data discontinuities along an international border.
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-05-01)
Monitoring, understanding, and forecasting the hydrologic cycle of large freshwater basins often requires a broad suite of data and models. Many of these datasets and models, however, are susceptible to variations in ...
Athabasca River Avulsion Underway in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, Canada
(Alberta Research Council, ARC/AGS Open File ReportWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03)
Avulsions change river courses and transport water and sediment to new channels impacting infrastructure, floodplain evolution, and ecosystems. Abrupt avulsion events (occurring over days to weeks) are potentially catastrophic ...
DiceCT for fishes: recommendations for pairing iodine contrast agents with μCT to visualize soft tissues in fishes
(Blackwell Publishing LtdWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-04)
Computed tomography (CT) scanning and other high-throughput three-dimensional (3D) visualization tools are transforming the ways we study morphology, ecology and evolutionary biology research beyond generating vast digital ...
