Ectothermic animals living at high elevation often face interacting challenges, including temperature extremes, intense radiation, and hypoxia. While high-elevation specialists have developed strategies to withstand these constraints, the factors preventing downslope migration are not always well understood. As mean temperatures continue to rise and climate patterns become more extreme, such translocation may be a viable conservation strategy for some populations or species, yet the effects of novel conditions, such as relative hyperoxia, have not been well characterised. Our study examines the effect of downslope translocation on ectothermic thermal physiology and performance in Pyrenean rock lizards (Iberolacerta bonnali) from high elevation (2254 m above sea level). Specifically, we tested whether models of organismal performance developed from low-elevation species facing oxygen restriction (e.g., hierarchical mechanisms of thermal limitation hypothesis) can be applied to the opposite scenario, when high-elevation organisms face hyperoxia. Lizards were split into two treatment groups: one group was maintained at a high elevation (2877 m ASL) and the other group was transplanted to low elevation (432 m ASL). In support of hyperoxia representing a constraint, we found that lizards transplanted to the novel oxygen environment of low elevation exhibited decreased thermal preferences and that the thermal performance curve for sprint speed shifted, resulting in lower performance at high body temperatures. While the effects of hypoxia on thermal physiology are well-explored, few studies have examined the effects of hyperoxia in an ecological context. Our study suggests that high-elevation specialists may be hindered in such novel oxygen environments and thus constrained in their capacity for downslope migration.

Femtosecond Electron Bunches

Femtosecond electron bunches can be generated from a system consisting of an RF gun with a thermionic cathode, an alpha magnet, and a linear accelerator and can be used to produce femtosecond (fs) electromagnetic radiation pulses. At the Fast Neutron Research Facility (FNRF), Thailand, we are especially interested in production in Far-infrared (FIR) and x-radiation. In the far-infrared, radiation is emitted coherently for wavelengths which are longer than the electron bunch length, yielding intense radiation. Although, the x-rays emitted are incoherent, its femtosecond time scale is crucial for development of a femtosecond x-ray source.

Developing thermoluminescent (TL) dating methods for quartz-containing deposits has required a series of numerical experiments within the framework of the band model to study the rate of electron accumulation in quartz crystal structure defects under radioactive radiation. The crystal model contained two different types of electron traps and one emission center. A system of differential equations was solved numerically, relating the rates of change in the electron concentration in defects of the crystal structure and the electron concentration in the conduction band and holes in the valence band. The results have shown that the intense radiation exposure alters the dynamic equilibrium concentration of electrons in the traps, which significantly modifies the TL signal. In accordance with this, the sensitivity marker material to the radioactive dose, required for absolute dating and received by its intense radiation exposure, cannot be determined correctly. In addition, the numerical experiments have confirmed the possibility of dating the samples by the position of the TL signal’s maximum on the time axis, as well as the possibility of obtaining the dating by the TL signal’s amplitude.

ABSTRACT Galaxies in the reionization era have been shown to have prominent [O iii] + H β emission. Little is known about the gas conditions and radiation field of this population, making it challenging to interpret the spectra emerging at z ≳ 6. Motivated by this shortcoming, we have initiated a large MMT spectroscopic survey identifying rest-frame optical emission lines in 227 intense [O iii] emitting galaxies at 1.3 < z < 2.4. This sample complements the MOSDEF and KBSS surveys, extending to much lower stellar masses ($10^7\!-\!10^8 \, \mathrm{M}_\odot$) and larger specific star formation rates (5–300 Gyr−1), providing a window on galaxies directly following a burst or recent upturn in star formation. The hydrogen ionizing production efficiency (ξion) is found to increase with the [O iii] equivalent width (EW), in a manner similar to that found in local galaxies. We describe how this relationship helps explain the anomalous success rate in identifying Ly α emission in z ≳ 7 galaxies with strong [O iii] + H β emission. We probe the impact of the intense radiation field on the ISM using O32 and Ne3O2, two ionization-sensitive indices. Both are found to scale with the [O iii] EW, revealing extreme ionization conditions not commonly seen in older and more massive galaxies. In the most intense line emitters, the indices have very large average values (O32 = 9.1, Ne3O2 = 0.5) that have been shown to be linked to ionizing photon escape. We discuss implications for the nature of galaxies most likely to have O32 values associated with significant LyC escape. Finally we consider the optimal strategy for JWST spectroscopic investigations of galaxies at z ≳ 10 where the strongest rest-frame optical lines are no longer visible with NIRSpec.
