Daily night-time lights reveal prolonging global electric power system recovery times following tropical cyclone damage by Yu Mo, Fred Thomas, Jianan Rui, Jim W Hall

“…We also found that blackout durations have significantly ( P < 0.05) increased over the study period across all levels of urbanization, at a similar rate of 0.9 ± 0.1 d per decade. The temporal variations (i.e. annual means) of blackout duration of high and low density urban clusters negatively correlated with storm travel speed, while those of low density urban clusters and rural areas positively correlated with pre-storm NTL ( P ⩽ 0.05 in all cases). …”

Anthropogenic Landscape Alteration, but Not Urbanization, Influences Non‐Adaptive Evolution in Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.) by Sophie T. Breitbart, Marc T. J. Johnson, Helene H. Wagner

“…Demographic analysis indicated that Ne decreased by > 99% within the past 800 years, with the rate of loss accelerating over time. These findings suggest that this A. syriaca population was little affected by the transition from rural to urban habitat; rather, anthropogenic activity prior to urbanization, such as precontact Indigenous inhabitation and colonial settlement, had observable effects on population demography. …”
