Elevation-Dependent Changes to Plant Phenology in Canada's Arctic Detected Using Long-Term Satellite Observations

Wenjun Chen, Lori White, Sylvain G. Leblanc, Rasim Latifovic, Ian Olthof

Summary: Arctic temperatures have increased at almost twice the global average rate since the industrial revolution, with higher rates of climate warming at high elevations. This study utilized AVHRR time series data to investigate elevation-dependent changes to plant phenology in five study areas in Canada's Arctic, finding faster changes in the start of the growing season with increasing elevation in mountainous areas.

Predictive factors of long-term follow-up attendance in very long-term childhood cancer survivors

Agnes Dumas, Karen Milcent, Nicolas Bougas, Daniel Bejarano-Quisoboni, Chiraz El Fayech, Helene Charreire, Odile Oberlin, Catherine Patte, Julie Allard, Eric Thebault, Amel Boumaraf, Amel Belhout, Vu-Bezin Giao, Vincent Souchard, Angela Jackson, Rodrigue Allodji, Dominique Valteau-Couanet, Christelle Dufour, Gilles Vassal, Nadia Haddy, Florent De Vathaire, Brice Fresneau

Summary: The study found that patients who received combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, had bone sarcoma, central nervous system primitive tumor, or underwent autologous hematopoietic cell transplant were more likely to attend long-term follow-up visits. Additionally, factors such as health status, medical expenses, social status, and distance from the follow-up center also influenced attendance.

Loss of 4E-BP converts cerebellar long-term depression to long-term potentiation

Natasha Saviuk, Yumaine Chong, Peng Wang, Sara Bermudez, Zhe Zhao, Arjun A. Bhaskaran, Derek Bowie, Nahum Sonenberg, Ellis Cooper, A. Pejmun Haghighi

Summary: Genetic perturbances in translational regulation affect cerebellar motor learning and synaptic plasticity, but the role of translational mechanisms in cerebellar plasticity is not well understood. This study shows that the genetic removal of 4E-BP, a translational suppressor, leads to a significant change in cerebellar synaptic plasticity, converting long-term depression (LTD) to long-term potentiation. The results suggest that translational regulation through 4E-BP is critical for establishing the appropriate kinase/phosphatase balance required for normal synaptic plasticity in the cerebellum.

Does it pay to invest in environmental stocks?

Panagiotis Tzouvanas, Emmanuel C. Mamatzakis

Summary: This paper examines market-based returns and risks of environmental vis-a-vis non-environmental stocks from a portfolio selection perspective. The findings suggest that stocks with superior environmental performance exhibit lower idiosyncratic risk but higher systematic risk, and it is beneficial to invest in environmental stocks. Robustness analysis supports the main findings despite some underlying complexities being demonstrated.

Summary: Changes in primary productivity can have both positive and negative impacts on food webs, influencing species diversity. In a study of large mammals in the Canadian boreal forest, path analysis revealed that wolf densities above a certain threshold can lead to declines in caribou populations, highlighting the complex dynamics of trophic interactions in response to habitat alteration.

Summary: The Island Species Area Relationship (ISAR) is a valuable tool for measuring species diversity, but has limitations due to factors that may affect results. Using random placement models can help control for sample-area effects and provide a better understanding of how area and isolation impact species diversity.

Vertebrate scavenging dynamics differ between carnivore and herbivore carcasses in the northern boreal forest

Michael J. L. Peers, Sean M. Konkolics, Yasmine N. Majchrzak, Allyson K. Menzies, Emily K. Studd, Rudy Boonstra, Stan Boutin, Clayton T. Lamb

Summary: A study in the boreal forest of Yukon, Canada found that scavenging of carnivore carcasses took longer to initiate and the carcasses persisted on the landscape for a longer period of time compared to herbivore carcasses. This was attributed to a reduction in scavenging by carnivores such as Canada lynx.

Summary: Unbiased population density estimates are crucial for ecological research and wildlife management, but estimating density accurately can be challenging. This study on Canada lynx highlighted the significant variation in density estimates across methods, despite following method requirements and assumptions. It emphasizes the importance of careful and unbiased sampling design and the need for further research to fully assess the accuracy and limitations of wildlife density estimation methods.

Indigenous-led conservation: Pathways to recovery for the nearly extirpated Klinse-Za mountain caribou

Clayton T. Lamb, Roland Willson, Carmen Richter, Naomi Owens-Beek, Julian Napoleon, Bruce Muir, R. Scott McNay, Estelle Lavis, Mark Hebblewhite, Line Giguere, Tamara Dokkie, Stan Boutin, Adam T. Ford

Summary: Indigenous Peoples in the northern hemisphere have relied on caribou for subsistence for a long time. However, caribou populations in Canada are currently declining. The West Moberly First Nations and Saulteau First Nations came together to create a vision for caribou recovery. Through habitat protection and predator reduction, the Klinse-Za caribou population has more than doubled in recent years, and a landmark conservation agreement has been secured.

Demographic responses of nearly extirpated endangered mountain caribou to recovery actions in Central British Columbia

R. Scott McNay, Clayton T. Lamb, Line Giguere, Sara H. Williams, Hans Martin, Glenn D. Sutherland, Mark Hebblewhite

Summary: Recovering endangered Southern Mountain caribou populations in British Columbia involved implementing short-term recovery actions such as maternity penning and reducing wolf populations. The combination of these actions effectively increased adult female survival, calf recruitment, and overall population growth, doubling the abundance of caribou populations. Long-term commitments to habitat protection and restoration are necessary for maintaining and further increasing caribou numbers.

Wildlife overpass structure size, distribution, effectiveness, and adherence to expert design recommendations

Liam Brennan, Emily Chow, Clayton Lamb

Summary: Wildlife crossing structures paired with exclusion fencing have been proven to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and facilitate wildlife connectivity. However, most wildlife overpasses in North America and Europe do not meet the recommended dimensions. Wider overpasses have higher crossing rates and accommodate a wider range of species.

A test of the green wave hypothesis in omnivorous brown bears across North America

Summary: Herbivorous animals tend to seek out plants at intermediate phenological states to improve energy intake while minimizing consumption of fibrous material. In some ecosystems, the timing of green-up is heterogeneous and propagates across space in a wave-like pattern, known as the green wave. Tracking the green wave allows individuals to prolong access to higher-quality forage.

Corridor-based approach with spatial cross-validation reveals scale-dependent effects of geographic distance, human footprint and canopy cover on grizzly bear genetic connectivity

Eric C. Palm, Erin L. Landguth, Zachary A. Holden, Casey C. Day, Clayton T. Lamb, Paul F. Frame, Andrea T. Morehouse, Garth Mowat, Michael F. Proctor, Michael A. Sawaya, Gordon Stenhouse, Jesse Whittington, Katherine A. Zeller

Summary: Understanding the impact of human infrastructure and landscape attributes on genetic differentiation in animals is crucial for identifying and maintaining dispersal corridors. In this study, we used a multiscale approach to predict landscape-level genetic connectivity for grizzly bears across a large area in Canada's southern Rocky Mountains. Our results indicate that geographic distance and human footprint significantly affect genetic differentiation in grizzly bears, while open canopies also inhibit genetic connectivity at large scales. This study highlights the negative effect of human activities on genetic connectivity and provides important insights for landscape genetics analysis.
