Effects of Soil Microbes on Functional Traits of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) Seedling Families From Contrasting Climates
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-01)Examining factors that influence seedling establishment is essential for predicting the impacts of climate change on tree species’ distributions. Seedlings originating from contrasting climates differentially express ... -
Investigating old‐growth ponderosa pine physiology using tree‐rings, δ13C, δ18O, and a process‐based model
(Wiley, 2019-06)In dealing with predicted changes in environmental conditions outside those experienced today, forest managers and researchers rely on process‐based models to inform physiological processes and predict future forest growth ... -
Validation of a Low-Cost Portable Device for Inducing Noninvasive Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Mice
(ASME International, 2023-08)Noninvasive compression-induced anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACL-R) is an easy and reproducible model for studying post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in mice. However, equipment typically used for ACL-R is expensive, ... -
Faster drought recovery in anisohydric beech compared with isohydric spruce
(Oxford University Press, 2023-01)With drought and heat events increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, global drought-induced tree decline (Allen et al. 2010, Hammond et al. 2022) has resulted in widespread interest in understanding the physiological ... -
Functional traits underlie specialist-generalist strategies in whitebark pine and limber pine
(Elsevier BV, 2023-08)Plant species life history strategies are described by functional variation spanning an acquisitive and conservative resource use continuum. Specialist species can exhibit traits promoting one end of the continuum, while ... -
The egg-thief architect: experimental oviraptorosaur nesting physiology, the possibility of adult-mediated incubation, and the feasibility of indirect contact incubation
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-08)Numerous, high-quality reproduction-related oviraptorosaur fossils have been described. However, oviraptorosaur-style nests are unknown among extant animals, and their curious construction makes nesting behavior difficult ... -
Digital Equity & Inclusion Strategies for Libraries: Promoting Student Success for All Learners
(The International Journal of Information, Diversity, and Inclusion (IJIDI), 2021-07)Student success in higher education depends on access to digital resources and services, and today's students rely heavily on the library to facilitate that access. Reliance on digital library resources and services surged ... -
Improving Library Accessibility Webpages with Secondary Feedback from Users with Disabilities
(Informa UK Limited, 2023-08)Libraries often have a webpage that is dedicated to sharing accessibility information with their users. However, many of these accessibility webpages do not meet the needs of users with disabilities. This article builds ... -
Flow-Control Plates to Manage Denil Fishways in Irrigation Diversions for Upstream Passage of Arctic Grayling
(U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2023-06)Small-stream irrigation diversions are key elements of many on-farm irrigation systems but can act as barriers to aquatic species. Denil fishways have been installed at irrigation diversion structures throughout the Big ... -
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
(The Royal Society, 2023-07)Particle dynamics and multi-agent systems provide accurate dynamical models for studying and forecasting the behaviour of complex interacting systems. They often take the form of a high-dimensional system of differential ... -
Chelostoma Latreille, 1809 (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) of Montana, including first records of the introduced bees Chelostoma campanularum (Kirby, 1802) and Chelostoma rapunculi (Lepeletier, 1841)
(Pacific Coast Entomological Society, 2023-05)The megachilid bees of the genus Chelostoma Latreille, 1809 in Montana, U.S.A., are reviewed. Two Palearctic species, Chelostoma (Foveosmia) campanularum (Kirby, 1802) and Chelostoma (Gyrodromella) rapunculi (Lepeletier, ... -
Facilitation strength across environmental and beneficiary trait gradients in stream communities
(Wiley, 2023-08)Ecosystem engineers modify habitats in ways that facilitate other community members by ameliorating harsh conditions. The strength of such facilitation is predicted to be influenced by both beneficiary traits and abiotic ... -
Homo medialiteratus and the media literacy proxy war: mapping the U.S. response to digital dismisinfo
(Informa UK Limited, 2023-07)This article presents findings from a visual network analysis study mapping the collective response to digital disinformation and misinformation, or digital dismisinfo, in the United States. Inspired by the digital ... -
Structural insights into redox signal transduction mechanisms in the control of nitrogen fixation by the NifLA system
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023-07)NifL is a conformationally dynamic flavoprotein responsible for regulating the activity of the σ54-dependent activator NifA to control the transcription of nitrogen fixation (nif) genes in response to intracellular oxygen, ... -
Base-Catalyzed Phenol-Mannich Condensation of Preformed Cesium Iminodiacetate. The Direct Synthesis of Calcein Blue AM and Related Acyloxymethyl Esters
(American Chemical Society, 2023-08)A rapid and highly practical one-flask procedure for the positionally selective preparation of (acyloxy)methyl N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)iminodiacetate and related diesters from iminodiacetic acid and phenols is described. The ... -
Lentil nitrogen fixation response to fertilizer and inoculant in the northern Great Plains
(Wiley, 2023-08)Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) production in the semiarid northern Great Plains of the United States has increased dramatically over the past two decades. Lentil in rotation provides agroecosystem benefits of more efficient ... -
Teaching Privacy Using Learner-Centered Practices in a Credit-Bearing Context
(ACRL, 2023)This chapter describes practices of teaching privacy to undergraduate students in a credit-bearing context. The chapter features a discussion of a semester-long course, Information Ethics and Privacy in the Age of Big Data. ... -
Nitrogen fixation among pea and lentil varieties in the Northern Great Plains
(Wiley, 2023-08)Pulse crops, including lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.), can improve the sustainability of Northern Great Plains cropping systems, largely through biological N fixation. Greater N fixation amounts ... -
Hydrogen-Type Binding Sites in Carbonaceous Electrodes for Rapid Lithium Insertion
(American Chemical Society, 2023-08)Direct pyrolysis of coronene at 800 °C produces low-surface-area, nanocrystalline graphitic carbon containing a uniquely high content of a class of lithium binding sites referred to herein as “hydrogen-type” sites. ... -
Confident detection of doubly ionized thorium in the extreme Ap star CPD-62° 2717
