SIMULATING ICE SEGREGATION AND THAW CONSOLIDATION IN PERMAFROST ENVIRONMENTS WITH THE CRYOGRID COMMUNITY MODEL

Simulating ice segregation and thaw consolidation in permafrost environments with the CryoGrid community model

The ground ice content in cold environments influences the permafrost thermal regime and the thaw trajectories in a warming climate, especially for soils containing excess ice.Despite their importance, the amount and distribution of ground ice are often unknown due to lacking field observations.Hence, modeling the thawing of ice-rich permafrost soi

Land use planning: A potential force for retaining habitat connectivity in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Beyond

The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) is perceived to have been isolated from the population in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem for a century.Better land use trm atom knife planning is needed to thwart progressive intra- and inter-ecosystem habitat fragmentation, especially due to

Evolutionary implications of interspecific variation in a maternal effect: a meta-analysis of yolk testosterone response to competition

Competition between conspecifics during the breeding season can result in behavioural and physiological programming of offspring via maternal effects.For birds, in which maternal effects are best studied, it has been claimed that exposure to increased competition causes greater deposition of testosterone into egg yolks, which creates faster growing

Metabolites Identified during Varied Doses of Aspergillus Species in Zea mays Grains, and Their Correlation with Aflatoxin Levels

Aflatoxin contamination is associated with the development of aflatoxigenic fungi such as Aspergillus flavus trm atom knife and A.parasiticus on food grains.This study was aimed at investigating metabolites produced during fungal development on maize and their correlation with aflatoxin levels.Maize cobs were harvested at R3 (milk), R4 (dough), and
