Toward Improved Understanding of Streamflow Effects on Freshwater Fishes
(Wiley, 2022-07)Understanding the effects of hydrology on fish populations is essential to managing for native fish conservation. However, despite decades of research illustrating streamflow influences on fish habitat, reproduction, and ... -
Assessing Variation in the Individual-Level Impacts of a Multihost Pathogen
(Hindawi, 2023-05-27)Most pathogens infect more than one host species, and given infection, the individual-level impact they have varies among host species. Nevertheless, variation in individual-level impacts of infection remains poorly ... -
Effects of burn season on fire-excluded plant communities in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA
(Elsevier, 2022-07)Following decades of fire exclusion, managers are increasingly implementing prescribed fire in southern Appalachian forests. To date, the use of prescribed fire in the region has often been focused on reducing hazardous ... -
Vacuum Steam Treatment of Metrosideros polymorpha Logs for Eradication of Ceratocystis huliohia and C. lukuohia
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022-04)A new and devastating disease, rapid ohia death (ROD), in Hawaii led to a state quarantine that regulates interisland transport of ohia wood and plant material to prevent spread of the causal pathogens. Heat treatments of ... -
Recreation as a transformative experience: Synthesizing the literature on outdoor recreation and recreation ecosystem services into a systems framework
(Elsevier, 2022-06)Outdoor recreation is a type of recreation that occurs in, and depends on, the natural environment. Ecosystem services are the benefits people receive from ecosystems. The outdoor recreation research (ORR) field has developed ... -
Readily available resources across sites and genotypes result in greater aboveground growth and reduced fine root production in Pinus taeda
(Elsevier, 2022-10)Fine roots serve as the primary interface between trees and the soil, and they are dynamic in their response to environmental conditions. Among many functions, they are principle in gathering nutrients and water, and they ... -
Lignin and fungal abundance modify manganese effects on soil organic carbon persistence at the continental scale
(Elsevier, 2022-11)Manganese (Mn) may play an outsized role in soil biogeochemical cycles relative to its abundance. The role of Mn-facilitated oxidation of biomacromolecules during litter decomposition is well-established, but the balance ... -
Testing a generalized leaf mass estimation method for diverse tree species and climates of the continental United States
(Wiley, 2022-10)Estimating tree leaf biomass can be challenging in applications where predictions for multiple tree species is required. This is especially evident where there is limited or no data available for some of the species of ... -
Towards production of genome-edited aquaculture species
(Wiley, 2022-10) -
Evaluating phytochemical and microbial contributions to atrazine degradation
(Academic Press, 2022-11)The inclusion of warm-season grasses, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and eastern gamagrass (EG) (Tripsacum dactyloides), in vegetated buffer strips has been shown to mitigate herbicide contamination in runoff and ... -
Diverse landscapes but not wildflower plantings increase marketable crop yield
(Elsevier, 2022-11)Biodiversity-friendly farming practices may create a win-win scenario for biodiversity and crop production by supporting ecosystem services to agriculture. On-farm wildflower plantings and conserving semi-natural habitat ... -
A big data-model integration approach for predicting epizootics and population recovery in a keystone species
(Wiley, 2023-02)Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to global health and biodiversity. Yet, predicting the spatiotemporal dynamics of wildlife epizootics remains challenging. Disease outbreaks result from complex nonlinear ... -
Climate change and infectious disease: a review of evidence and research trends
(2023-05-16)Background Climate change presents an imminent threat to almost all biological systems across the globe. In recent years there have been a series of studies showing how changes in climate can impact ... -
Evaluating the Role of Land Surface Moisture in Generating Asymmetrical Precipitation during the Landfall of Hurricane Florence (2018)
(MDPI, 2023-04-30)This study focuses on the role of land surface moisture in generating asymmetrical precipitation surrounding a nearly stationary Hurricane Florence (2018) during landfall. Previous idealized modeling studies have suggested ... -
Status of Arapaima spp. in Brazil: threatened in its places of origin, a rapidly spreading invader elsewhere
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre-Reabic, 2022-09)The introduction of non-native fish poses a major threat to aquatic fauna in freshwater ecosystems around the world, often as a consequence of increased predation pressure, which results in adverse environmental and ... -
Assessing the utility of NAIP digital aerial photogrammetric point clouds for estimating canopy height of managed loblolly pine plantations in the southeastern United States
(Elsevier, 2022-09)Remote sensing offers many advantages to supplement traditional, ground-based forest measurements, such as limiting time in the field and fast spatial coverage. Data from airborne laser scanning (lidar) have provided ... -
Floodplain trophic subsidies in a modified river network: managed foodscapes of the future?
(Springer, 2022-12)Context Cross-boundary subsidies create important growth opportunities for a range of taxa. In modified river systems, remnant patches of floodplain and flood bypasses become ephemeral hotspots of zooplankton production, ... -
Using population surveys and models to reassess the conservation status of an endemic Amazonian titi monkey in a deforestation hotspot
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-11)Assessing the conservation status of species is essential for implementing appropriate conservation measures. A lack of evidence of threats, rather than showing an absence of impacts, could reflect a lack of studies on how ... -
Six principles for working effectively with landowners to advance bird conservation: Seis principios para trabajar eficazmente con propietarios de tierras para promover la conservacion de las aves
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12)Private land management is an essential component of bird conservation. How private landowners manage their farms, rangelands, forests, and yards, influences the resources and hazards birds encounter, with associated impacts ... -
