Aboveground and belowground arthropods experience different relative influences of stochastic versus deterministic community assembly processes following disturbance by Scott Ferrenberg, Alexander S. Martinez, Akasha M. Faist

“…Methods Using a disturbance gradient along a 5-year chronosequence of insect-induced tree mortality in a subalpine forest of the southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA, we examined changes in community structure and relative influences of deterministic and stochastic processes in the assembly of aboveground (surface and litter-active species) and belowground (species active in organic and mineral soil layers) arthropod communities. …”

The Formation of a Rubble Pile Asteroid: Insights from the Asteroid Ryugu by Tsutomu Ota, Christian Potiszil, Katsura Kobayashi, Ryoji Tanaka, Hiroshi Kitagawa, Tak Kunihiro, Chie Sakaguchi, Masahiro Yamanaka, Eizo Nakamura

“…However, the geological observations from Hayabusa2 and the analyses of the returned sample from Ryugu revealed that the high microporosity was common to various >10 m- to mm-sized materials of Ryugu, which suggests that the asteroid Ryugu is not just a loosely bound agglomeration of massive rocky debris from shattered asteroids. For a better understanding of the origin and evolution of the rubble pile asteroid, the current most accepted hypothesis should be verified by observations and laboratory analyses and improved upon based on this information. …”

Geological observations on archeoastronomical objects of the ridge Sunduki and mount Tarping (Khakasia) by Negoda, I.V.

“…At this border an intense destruction of rocks happen and at least it leads to the negative microform surface of the rocky ridge. As a result of this geological studies of the Sunduki and on mount Tarping, determined by researchers as having archaeological significance, the author made the conclusion that these objects have a natural origin, associated either with the peculiarities of occurrence of rocks in certain places, or with the processes of destruction of the rock surface as a result of weathering. …”

Seasonal resource selection by introduced mountain goats in the southwest Greater Yellowstone Area by B. Lowrey, R. A. Garrott, H. M. Miyasaki, G. Fralick, S. R. Dewey

“…Further research should examine the spatial and temporal overlap with native populations to further our understanding of resource selection dynamics and the potential for introduced mountain goats to alter intraguild behavioral processes of sympatric species, namely the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis).…”

Temporal–Spatial Distributions and Influencing Factors of Heavy Metals As, Cd, Pb, and Zn in Alluvial Soils on a Regional Scale in Guangxi, China by Mi Tian, Xueqiu Wang, Jian Zhou, Qinghua Chi, Dongsheng Liu, Yu Qiao, Chao Wu, Yining Zhou, Qiang Wang, Futian Liu

“…In addition, the anomalous intensity and range of heavy metals in the CGB2 project decreased significantly compared with the CGB1 project, especially owing to the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a positive anthropogenic factor that improves the degree of rocky desertification, thus reducing the heavy metal contents of As and Pb, and the precipitation promoting the decomposition of Fe–Mn concretions and thus the migration of Cd and Zn. …”
