  2. Artificial light at night altered caracal movement and foraging
    GPS collar study investigating artificial light at night effects on caracal movement, habitat selection, and foraging behavior across age classes in urban-adjacent landscapes.
  3. SWAT review links land use, climate, and watershed outcomes
    SWAT modeling synthesizes 143 studies on land use and climate impacts in developing agricultural watersheds, revealing urbanization effects on water quality and effectiveness of combined.
