Embryo development and global change: how do reptile embryos respond to ecologically relevant thermal stress? 

Hall, Joshua M; Warner, Daniel A; http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5587-3402 (2019-09-15)
Two components of global change, climate change and urbanization, contribute to increased ambient temperatures that cause heat stress or mortality in animals. Many animals can respond to harmful temperatures behaviorally; ...

Dynamics of ring current ions as obtained from IMAGE HENA and MENA ENA images 

Perez, JD; Zhang, XX; Brandt, PCS; Mitchell, DG; Jahn, JM; Pollock, CJ (2020-06-18)
Ion distributions from three storms in the year 2000 have been obtained from HENA and MENA ENA images at 27-39 keV and 5-12 keV, respectively. The observed motion of the ring current is compared with calculations of expected ...
