Pallets Make the World Go ‘Round: Circular versus linear economies and their effects on the pallet industry
(Virginia Tech. Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design, 2019-10)On a fundamental level, the circular economy is a model that portrays economic growth from the perspective of resource constraints. It is more ambitious and more marketing-friendly than a linear economy. The circular economy ... -
Pangolins in global camera trap data: Implications for ecological monitoring
(2019-10)Despite being heavily exploited, pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) have been subject to limited research, resulting in a lack of reliable population estimates and standardised survey methods for the eight extant species. ... -
Papillomavirus in Wildlife
(2019-10-25)Papillomaviruses (PV) are associated with epithelial malignancies in animals, including cancer in humans. Limited knowledge exists regarding the evolutionary history of non-human PV. We assessed the phylogeography of PV ... -

Pattern and structure of microtopography implies autogenic origins in forested wetlands
(European Geosciences Union, 2019-12-16)Wetland microtopography is a visually striking feature, but also critically influences biogeochemical processes at both the scale of its observation (10(-2)-10(2)m(2)) and at aggregate scales (10(2)-10(4) m(2)). However, ... -
Patterns of acoustical activity of bats prior to and 10 years after WNS on Fort Drum Army Installation, New York
(2019-04)Previous acoustic surveys, netting, and count data have shown that overall bat activity patterns have shifted among most species between pre- and post-white-nose syndrome (WNS) years in much of North America where WNS has ... -

Phenological Response of an Arizona Dryland Forest to Short-Term Climatic Extremes
(MDPI, 2015-08-24)Baseline information about dryland forest phenology is necessary to accurately anticipate future ecosystem shifts. The overarching goal of our study was to investigate the variability of vegetation phenology across a dryland ... -
Phenotypic and Genomic Local Adaptation across Latitude and Altitude in Populus trichocarpa
(Oxford University Press, 2019-07-10)Local adaptation to climate allows plants to cope with temporally and spatially heterogeneous environments, and parallel phenotypic clines provide a natural experiment to uncover the genomic architecture of adaptation. ... -
Phenotypic Expression and Stability in a Large-Scale Field Study of Genetically Engineered Poplars Containing Sexual Containment Transgenes

Physical Condition, Sex, and Age-Class of Eastern Red-Backed Salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) in Forested and Open Habitats of West Virginia, USA
(Hindawi, 2012-07-15)Nonforested habitats such as open fields and pastures have been considered unsuitable for desiccation-prone woodland salamanders such as the Eastern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus). Recent research has suggested ... -
Physical Properties of Thermally Modified Juvenile and Mature Wood of Heveabrasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae)
(2020-05)Exposing timber to temperatures approaching 200 °C causes thermal modification and changes its characteristics. This study evaluates the effect of various levels of thermal treatment on the physical properties of juvenile ... -
Phytosanitary Regulation for Packaging (ISPM-15)
(Virginia Tech. Center for Packaging and Unit Load Design, 2018-02-02)International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) is essential for the regulation of wooden pallet and packaging materials. This regulation measure is important in determining how pallet industries and ... -
