class="c-clientmarkup"><p>The mosquito Aedes aegypti infects hundreds of millions of people annually with disease-causing viruses. When a mosquito approaches a host, the host often swats defensively. Here, we reveal the mosquito's escape behavior during host seeking in response to a threatening visual cue-a newly appearing shadow. We found that reactions to a shadow are far more aversive when it appears quickly versus slowly. Remarkably, mosquitoes evade shadows under very dim light conditions. Knockout of the TRP channel compromises the ability of mosquitoes to avoid threatening shadows, but only under high light conditions. Conversely, removing two of the five rhodopsins normally present in the compound eyes, Op1 and Op2, diminishes shadow aversion, but only under low light. Upon removal of a threatening visual cue, mosquitoes quickly re-initiate host seeking. Thus, female Aedes balance their need to host seek with visual threat avoidance by rapidly transitioning between these two behavioral states.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="c-pubpreview"><a class="c-pubpreview__img" href="/uc/item/7cz246c3"><img src="/cms-assets/43c1fe9ee73442ded547b0f8e270a8b103a9a6d368516b8413e87f0d13e83d9f" alt="Cover page of The Beliefs of Nonbelievers: Exclusive Empiricism and Mortal Finitude Among Atheists and Agnostics"/></a><div class="c-pub"><h2 class="c-pub__heading"><a href="/uc/item/7cz246c3"><div class="c-clientmarkup">The Beliefs of Nonbelievers: Exclusive Empiricism and Mortal Finitude Among Atheists and Agnostics</div></a></h2><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ABlankholm%2C%20Joseph">Blankholm, Joseph</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ACragun%2C%20Ryan">Cragun, Ryan</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ASu%C3%A1rez%2C%20Abraham%20Hawley">Suárez, Abraham Hawley</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AStephen%2C%20Shakir">Stephen, Shakir</a> </li></ul></div><div class="c-scholworks__publication">(<!-- -->2025<!-- -->)</div><div class="c-pub__abstract"><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p>Abstract: This essay argues that “atheist” and “agnostic” are not merely negative labels that indicate a person lacks belief in God or is not religious. Relying on a new survey of very secular Americans and the General Social Survey, we demonstrate a statistically significant and substantively meaningful relationship, in both predictive directions, between identifying as atheist or agnostic and holding certain beliefs about how best to know the world and what happens when we die. We can reliably predict that most people in the United States who trust science, reason, and evidence and do not trust religious sources will identify as atheist or agnostic—and vice-versa. We find the same bi-directional relationship with belief in mortal finitude, i.e., that death is the final end. Our findings suggest that exclusive empiricism and mortal finitude are positive tenets of belief systems that those who identify as atheist or agnostic are likely to hold.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="c-pubpreview"><a class="c-pubpreview__img" href="/uc/item/7rd1q9cd"><img src="/cms-assets/cfa4278f002ecb773ca5e8e9aedfa6ef7174e5719d450c2d98b0d3ac5694246b" alt="Cover page of Assessing the impact of extreme climate events on European gross primary production"/></a><div class="c-pub"><h2 class="c-pub__heading"><a href="/uc/item/7rd1q9cd"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Assessing the impact of extreme climate events on European gross primary production</div></a></h2><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AZhang%2C%20Huihui">Zhang, Huihui</a>;

We analyze a recent large-scale recording of medial entorhinal cortex to characterize the presence and degree of heterogeneity of grid properties within individual modules. We find evidence for small, but robust, variability and hypothesize that this property of the grid code could enhance the encoding of local spatial information. Performing analysis on synthetic populations of grid cells, where we have complete control over the amount heterogeneity in grid properties, we demonstrate that grid property variability of a similar magnitude to the analyzed data leads to significantly decreased decoding error. This holds even when restricted to activity from a single module. Our results highlight how the heterogeneity of the neural response properties may benefit coding and opens new directions for theoretical and experimental analysis of grid cells.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="c-pubpreview"><a class="c-pubpreview__img" href="/uc/item/4ss2r0x8"><img src="/cms-assets/696ea099dadb8dd7d28f229fc23ec72a9f9a276bc632610222f20e27fc0f55df" alt="Cover page of Global Future Drought Layers Based on Downscaled CMIP6 Models and Multiple Socioeconomic Pathways."/></a><div class="c-pub"><h2 class="c-pub__heading"><a href="/uc/item/4ss2r0x8"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Global Future Drought Layers Based on Downscaled CMIP6 Models and Multiple Socioeconomic Pathways.</div></a></h2><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AAraujo%2C%20Diogo">Araujo, Diogo</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AEnquist%2C%20Brian">Enquist, Brian</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AFrazier%2C%20Amy">Frazier, Amy</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AMerow%2C%20Cory">Merow, Cory</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ARoehrdanz%2C%20Patrick">Roehrdanz, Patrick</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AMoulatlet%2C%20Gabriel">Moulatlet, Gabriel</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AZvoleff%2C%20Alex">Zvoleff, Alex</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ASong%2C%20Lei">Song, Lei</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AMaitner%2C%20Brian">Maitner, Brian</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ANikolopoulos%2C%20Efthymios">Nikolopoulos, Efthymios</a> </li></ul></div><div class="c-scholworks__publication">(<!-- -->2025<!-- -->)</div><div class="c-pub__abstract"><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p>Droughts are a natural hazard of growing concern as they are projected to increase in frequency and severity for many regions of the world. The identification of droughts and their future characteristics is essential to building an understanding of the geography and magnitude of potential drought change trajectories, which in turn is critical information to manage drought resilience across multiple sectors and disciplines. Adding to this effort, we developed a dataset of global historical and projected future drought indices over the 1980-2100 period based on downscaled CMIP6 models across multiple shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP). The dataset is composed of two indices: the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) for 23 downscaled global climate models (GCMs) (0.25-degree resolution), including historical (1980-2014) and future projections (2015-2100) under four climate scenarios: SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5. The drought indices were calculated for 3-, 6- and 12-month accumulation timescales and are available as gridded spatial datasets in a regular latitude-longitude format at monthly time resolution.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="c-pubpreview"><a class="c-pubpreview__img" href="/uc/item/0vh696qp"><img src="/cms-assets/dbf487eb00afa65b9578cc22f041e61139ee626aafd3ae7f44c6867207efcdad" alt="Cover page of Financial incentives for substance abstinence: a systematic review and meta-analysis"/></a><div class="c-pub"><h2 class="c-pub__heading"><a href="/uc/item/0vh696qp"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Financial incentives for substance abstinence: a systematic review and meta-analysis</div></a></h2><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3APhillips-Chantelois%2C%20Damon">Phillips-Chantelois, Damon</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ASharrad%2C%20Kelsey">Sharrad, Kelsey</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3APerveen%2C%20Shagufta">Perveen, Shagufta</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AGammatopoulos%2C%20Tahlia">Gammatopoulos, Tahlia</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AUsmani%2C%20Nawal">Usmani, Nawal</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ASzumlinski%2C%20Karen">Szumlinski, Karen</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ACarson-Chahhoud%2C%20Kristin">Carson-Chahhoud, Kristin</a> </li></ul></div><div class="c-scholworks__publication">(<!-- -->2025<!-- -->)</div><div class="c-pub__abstract"><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p><h3>Introduction</h3>Substance Use Disorder (SUD) increased by 45% globally in the past 10 years, representing one of the largest increases in risk factors for disease. Financial incentives (FI) are a promising tool to promote health behavior change, including substance abstinence. We aim to address a 10-year gap in the evidence and identify key characteristics for optimal treatment.<h3>Methods</h3>A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was undertaken per Cochrane guidelines and the PRISMA 2020 checklist. Medline, PsycINFO, and EMBASE were searched up to 11th September 2024. Included studies offered FI to substance users in exchange for substance abstinence compared to an alternative intervention control. The primary outcome extracted was substance abstinence at latest follow-up. Secondary outcomes such as cost-effectiveness, adverse events, and motivational assessments were also extracted. Risk of bias was analyzed using the RoB 1 tool.<h3>Results</h3>Of 5,042 studies identified, 246 were shortlisted for full-text review and included 39 RCTs (N = 27,845) for meta-analysis. SUD categories spanning nicotine (n = 30, OR = 1.83; 95%CI = 1.65-2.03, p &lt; .001), alcohol (n = 3, OR = 4.69, 95%CI = 1.59-13.86, p = .005), stimulants (n = 2, OR = 3.52; 95%CI = 0.36-34.18, p = 0.28), and polydrug (n = 2, OR = 3.11, 95%CI = 0.53-18.25, p = 0.21) were meta-analyzed for improving abstinence rates. Cannabis and opioid sub-groups could not be meta-analyzed. Overall effectiveness was significant for FI improving substance abstinence rates (OR=1.93, 95%CI=1.66-2.24, p&lt;.001) with continued significance through 12-month or longer follow-ups (OR=1.78; 95%CI=1.50-2.12, p&lt;.001).<h3>Conclusions</h3>Findings from this meta-analysis suggest that FI are an effective tool for increasing substance abstinence, particularly nicotine and alcohol, however, future research is recommended for other substances such as stimulants and opioids.<h3>Implications</h3>This systematic review and meta-analysis exploring the use of financial incentives for substance use disorders provides the first update on trends in this field since 2014 and the first meta-analysis since 2006. Notably, this review challenges the concerns of sustainability and effects on motivation which have withheld the clinical application of financial incentives for substance use disorders.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="c-pubpreview"><a class="c-pubpreview__img" href="/uc/item/4fx3q4kd"><img src="/cms-assets/939b3016ee7943f4d0dd65e40cb5881d8a507a12c49925305df531c9ce498540" alt="Cover page of Enhancing the potential of children’s agency to achieve global sustainability"/></a><div class="c-pub"><h2 class="c-pub__heading"><a href="/uc/item/4fx3q4kd"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Enhancing the potential of children’s agency to achieve global sustainability</div></a></h2><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AElwell%2C%20Tammy%20L">Elwell, Tammy L</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ANahuelhual%2C%20Laura">Nahuelhual, Laura</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ASilva%20Fern%C3%A1ndez%2C%20Marta">Silva Fernández, Marta</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ABianchini%2C%20Julie%20A">Bianchini, Julie A</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AGaines%2C%20Steven%20D">Gaines, Steven D</a> </li></ul></div><div class="c-scholworks__publication">(<!-- -->2025<!-- -->)</div><div class="c-pub__abstract"><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p>Despite progress toward sustainability, it remains uncertain how we as a global society will make transformations needed at scale. We argue that intentionally involving children in sustainability efforts may catalyze promising changes in how we approach human-environmental crises. This involvement, however, entails much more than the traditional focus on exposing children to environmental education or sustainability learning. Here, we present a pathway where children move through incremental yet fluid stages, from rich experiences in nature in early childhood, to reflective activities, leadership development, and formal opportunities in sustainability governance in later childhood and adolescence. Each stage requires overcoming distinct barriers that vary across and within countries: we identify and discuss these main barriers, and suggest potential ways the sustainability sciences community can help to reduce them. We offer this proposed pathway as a first step toward ensuring young people's involvement, agency, and stewardship in achieving global sustainability.</p></div></div></div></div></div><nav class="c-pagination--next"><ul><li><a href="" aria-label="you are on result set 1" class="c-pagination__item--current">1</a></li><li><a href="" aria-label="go to result set 2" class="c-pagination__item">2</a></li><li><a href="" aria-label="go to result set 3" class="c-pagination__item">3</a></li><li><a href="" aria-label="go to result set 4" class="c-pagination__item">4</a></li><li><a href="" aria-label="go to result set 795" class="c-pagination__item">795</a></li><li class="c-pagination__next"><a href="" aria-label="go to Next result set">Next</a></li></ul></nav><button type="submit" id="series-form-submit" style="display:none">Search</button></form></section></main><aside><div><section class="o-columnbox1"><header><h2>Campus Contact</h2></header><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p>UCSB Open Access Policy Support Team <br>UCSB Library<br>UC Santa Barbara<br>Santa Barbara, CA 93106<a href="mailto:%20openaccess@library.ucsb.edu"><br>openaccess@library.ucsb.edu</a><br></p></div></section><section class="o-columnbox1"><header><h2>UCSB Datasets</h2></header><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p><img src="/cms-assets/2f91be1d9b8b196f5d06dd5c736f1a2490466cf2f4d366a238e23f7a6f12b5c5" alt="Dryad Logo"></p><p>Explore datasets from UCSB and publish data accompanying your research in <a href="https://datadryad.org/">Dryad</a>.</p><p><br></p></div></section><section class="o-columnbox1"><header><h2>Recent Articles</h2></header><ul class="c-relateditems"><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/0138618m"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Wildfire, evacuation, and cardiovascular events: A spatial exposure approach</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AArabadjis%2C%20Sophia%20D">Arabadjis, Sophia D</a>;
