Brain Death Secondary to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Encephalitis by Steven D. Rhodes, Alicia M. Teagarden, Brian Graner, Riad Lutfi, Chandy C. John

“…The patient developed diffuse cerebral edema, and despite intensive care, the edema led to brain death from Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). We present this case to highlight the importance of considering RMSF and other tick-borne illnesses in a child with prolonged fever and rash in a nonendemic area and also the difficulty of diagnosis in early stages of disease. …”

Characteristics of Precipitation, Streamflow, and Sediment Transport of the Hangman Creek in the Pacific Northwest, USA: Implication for Agricultural Conservation Practice Implemen... by Yongping Yuan, Sean Kanyuk

“…In this study, we investigated long-term precipitation, streamflow, and suspended sediment load patterns within the Hangman Creek watershed, draining from the Rocky Mountains in Idaho to Washington, to identify the magnitude of changes with the goal of better understanding the links between these processes and the potential effects of agricultural conservation practices (ACPs) implemented since the 1990s. …”

Dynamical Downscaling of Climate Change Impacts on Wind Energy Resources in the Contiguous United States by Using a Limited-Area Model with Scale-Selective Data Assimilation by Bin Liu, Katelyn B. Costa, Lian Xie, Fredrick H. M. Semazzi

“…From the current climate to the 2040s, the average annual wind speed is expected to increase from 0.1 to 0.2 m s−1 over the Great Plains, Northern Great Lakes Region, and Southwestern United States located southwest of the Rocky Mountains. When projecting into the 2090s from current climate, there is an overall increase in the Great Plains Region and Southwestern United States located southwest of the Rockies with a mean wind speed increase between 0 and 0.1 m s−1, while, the Northern Great Lakes Region experiences an even greater increase from current climate to 2090s than over the first few decades with an increase of mean wind speed from 0.1 to 0.4 m s−1.…”

Phylogenetic study documents different speciation mechanisms within the Russula globispora lineage in boreal and arctic environments of the Northern Hemisphere by Miroslav Caboň, Guo-Jie Li, Malka Saba, Miroslav Kolařík, Soňa Jančovičová, Abdul Nasir Khalid, Pierre-Arthur Moreau, Hua-An Wen, Donald H. Pfister, Slavomír Adamčík

“…European and North American collections are nearly identical and probably represent a single species named R. dryadicola distributed from the Alps to the Rocky Mountains. Collections from the southeast Himalayas belong to two distinct species: R. abbottabadensis sp. nov. from subtropical monodominant forests of Pinus roxburghii and R. tengii sp. nov. from subalpine mixed forests of Abies and Betula. …”

Unburned habitat essential for amphibian breeding persistence following wildfire by Larissa L. Bailey, Richard Henderson, Wendy A. Estes-Zumpf, Charles C. Rhoades, Ellie Miller, Dominique Lujan, Erin Muths

“…We capitalized on existing pre-fire surveys for anuran species and resurveyed a random subset of wetlands across a gradient of soil burn severity to investigate the short-term effects of wildfire on a relict population of wood frogs in the southern Rocky Mountains. We also investigated whether maps created to support rapid post-fire emergency response activities (i.e., United States Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response program) accurately characterize soil burn severity around small habitat features (i.e., ponds) that serve as important amphibian breeding and rearing habitat. …”
