Subnational contribution to life expectancy and life span variation changes: Evidence from the United States by Wen Su, Alyson van Raalte, Jose Manuel Aburto, Vladimir Canudas-Romo

“…OBJECTIVE: We aim to disentangle contributions from subnational levels (US regions) to national changes in life expectancy and life span variation in 2010–2019 and 2019–2020. METHODS: A decomposition of the change in the national life expectancy and life disparity into the contribution of changing mortality and population structure among subnational regions is presented. …”

Response of the thermohaline front and associated submesoscale features in the Korea Strait to wind variation during autumn by Jong-Kyu Kim, Byoung-Ju Choi, Sang-Ho Lee, Young-Tae Son

“…Conversely, with northeasterly (up-front) wind, the vertical density structure stabilizes and the front weakens. Simultaneously, ageostrophic secondary circulation diminishes, resulting in a reduction in the EAPE and the submesoscale features. …”

Habitat-mediated variation in the importance of ecosystem engineers for secondary cavity nesters in a nest web. by Hugo Robles, Kathy Martin

“…Understanding whether and how ecosystem engineers are interchangeable for resource users in different habitats is a largely neglected topic in ecosystem engineering research that can improve our understanding of the structure of communities. We addressed this issue in a cavity-nest web (1999-2011). …”
