Acoustic exposure reveals variation in curtailment effectiveness at reducing bat fatality at wind turbines by Trevor Peterson, Adam Rusk, Caroline Byrne, Seta Aghababian, Sydney Edwards

“…Curtailment strategies with higher cut‐in speeds reduced the percentage of acoustic exposure by a consistent margin across biweekly intervals, but differences in the rate of acoustic exposure among strategies were far greater during late summer and early fall, when bat activity levels were highest. …”

Proactive and Reactive Response Inhibition across the Lifespan. by Peter Smittenaar, Robb B Rutledge, Peter Zeidman, Rick A Adams, Harriet Brown, Glyn Lewis, Raymond J Dolan

“…Both forms of control rely on overlapping frontostriatal pathways known to deteriorate in healthy aging, an age-related decline that occurs at an accelerated rate in men compared to women. Here we ask whether these patterns of age-related decline are reflected in similar changes in proactive and reactive inhibitory control across the lifespan. …”

Role of arrowworm Sagitta elegans (Chaetognatha) in plankton communities of the western Bering Sea by E. P. Dulepova

“…The arrowworm production decreased in these warm years but production of non-predatory species (basically small- and medium-sized copepods) increased sharply because of their rapid response to temperature changes realized in high growth rate under higher temperature. Thus, the role of S. elegans in formation of the community production becomes lower in conditions favorable for high growth rate of non-predatory species.…”

Macroevolutionary processes in turtles (Testudines): a view from biomic specialization and historical climatic changes by Juan S. Thomas, Sara Gamboa, Manuel Hernández Fernández, Manuel Hernández Fernández, Oscar Murillo, Jonathan S. Pelegrin

“…Vrba suggests that lineages display varying tendencies toward generalism or specialization in biome occupancy, with a tendency towards the accumulation of specialists due to their higher rate of speciation through vicariance. It also posits differences in biome occupancy patterns driven by the environmental characteristics of biomes, with a higher presence of biome specialist species in biomes that are placed in the extremes of the global climatic gradients. …”
