It has long been recognized in North America that orogens represent deformed ancient continental margins, although the basic concepts have changed greatly from the early views of Hall, Dana, and Schuchert to later ones of Kay, Drake, and Dietz. This North American view stemmed from the fact t...
Although lists of bee species that are associated with North American crops are scattered throughout the literature, there is a need for a comprehensive compilation of those species by crop, region, and nesting guild. Here, we searched the literature to compile a list of wild bee species ...
of the thermocline46. These different mechanisms will be discussed in more detail in the Discussion section. In addition to the differences seen along the North American west coast, there are key differences in the spatial extent of SMHW and BMHW events along the east coast. In the Scotian ...
Recent gender policies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have improved legal equality for women with noticeable effects in some countries.
Thus, the need to promote solutions that both benefit grassland birds and allow producers to remain economically viable cannot be overstated (Drum et al. 2015; Keyser et al. 2022). Finally, 42% of North American grassland bird species are considered highly vulnerable to climate change (Wilsey ...
The race to leverage generative AI has started, but traditional AI still accounts for most of the impact in grocery retail in all regions. Although gen AI has gained significant attention recently, between 80 and 90 percent of technology-driven value creation in ...
It is generally believed that comets originated as icy planetesimals in the outer regions of the solar nebula, at the orbit of Jupiter and beyond. Those proto-comets with orbits between the giant planets were gravitationally ejected, mostly to interstellar space. However, a fraction of the proto...

of the Northern Hemisphere’s largest grass-dominated regions. Aboveground plant production declined substantially with drought in the Eurasian grasslands and the effects accumulated over time, while the declines were less severe and more muted over time in the North American grasslands. Drought effects...
