Reconstruction of Araucaria araucana cone production reveals warming intensifies regionally synchronized masting by Andrew Hacket‐Pain, Fidel A. Roig, Davide Ascoli, Carlos LeQuesne, Martin Hadad

“…Here we use tree‐rings to create a four‐century reconstruction of annual cone production to uncover centennial‐scale evolution in masting of Araucaria araucana, a dioecious masting species in South America. Over the last four decades, direct observations of annual cone production in this species revealed remarkable range‐wide synchrony of masting. …”

Lengths of Stay and Stopover Strategies of Western Sandpipers During Migration at Two Sites in British Columbia, Canada by Anne L. Blondin, Mark C. Drever, Scott A. Flemming, Wendy E. Easton, Mark Maftei, Yuri Zharikov, Nils Warnock, Erica Nol

“…Variation in minimum stopover length and morphology between sites suggests that individuals from different overwintering populations may use different routes along the west coast of North America. Western Sandpipers stopping at Tofino have a shorter length of stay during both migration periods and arrive heavier during southward migration, characteristics typical of “hop” migrants who travel shorter distances between stopover sites. …”
