There is not enough water in California to support current uses and preserve healthy environments. aquifers have been systematically depleted over decades, causing household insecurity, degrading groundwater-dependent ecosystems, affecting small medium farmers, inducing subsidence. The government enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act a decade ago prevent declining aquifer levels continue undesirable results, which has driven necessity reduce irrigated agriculture by about half...
Abstract Mass media plays an important role in the construction and circulation of risk perception associated with animals. Widely feared groups such as spiders frequently end up spotlight traditional social media. We compiled expert-curated global database on online newspaper coverage human-spider encounters over past ten years (2010–2020). This includes information about location each encounter reported news article a quantitative characterisation content—location, presence photographs...
Low-income, rural frontline communities of California's Central Valley experience environmental and socioeconomic injustice, water insecurity, extremely poor air quality, lack fundamental infrastructure (sewage, green areas, health services), which makes them less resilient. Many depend financially on agriculture, while scarcity associated policy may trigger farmland retirement further hindering opportunities. Here we propose a multi-benefit framework to repurpose cropland in buffers inside...
Abstract Urbanization is a major land use form that has large impacts on ecosystems. Urban development in the watershed stream ecosystems by increasing nutrient and organic matter loads, altering hydrology, reducing biodiversity. Puerto Rico an ideal location to assess monitor effects of urbanization streams, because it increasingly urbanized streams do not receive inputs untreated sewage, characteristic many other tropical urban areas. The objective this study was determine how leaf litter...
Frontline communities of California experience disproportionate social, economic, and environmental injustices, climate change is exacerbating the root causes inequity in those areas. Yet, adaptation mitigation strategies often fail to meaningfully address frontline community stakeholders. Here, we present three challenges, errors, solutions better integrate communities' needs research create more impactful policies. We base our perspective on collective firsthand experiences scholarship...
Stridulatory organs have not been previously investigated for harvestmen in the family Cosmetidae. During a field study, we observed infrequent production of vibrations by adult Cynorta marginalis Banks, 1909. Using SEM, examined surfaces several appendages potential stridulatory organs. Our observations indicate that C. has denticles on mesal basichelicerites when rubbed together may function as an isomorphous organ. In addition, there are ectal and furrowed ridges femora pedipalps...

The government enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act a decade ago prevent declining aquifer levels from continuing cause undesirable results. This law has indirectly driven necessity reduce irrigated...
Abstract In the Internet era, digital architecture that keeps us connected and informed may collaterally amplify spread of misinformation falsehood1,2. The magnitude this problem is gaining global relevance3, as evidence accumulates interferes with democratic processes undermines collective responses to environmental health crises4,5. Therefore, understanding how generates spreads becoming a pressing scientific, societal, political challenge3. Advances in area are delayed because...
