Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

ABSTRACT Toxins for vertebrate pest control in bait material degrade under field conditions but there are limited data available on the degradation of toxins used in canid pest ejectors (hereafter ejectors). Re‐use of non‐activated capsules would be practical for end‐users and support the optimal and cost‐efficient use of vertebrate toxins.

ABSTRACT Urban bushland fragments have important natural and social values. Their management is challenging because they typically have experienced complex historical disturbances, making it difficult to settle on the most appropriate restoration targets. We illustrate these issues by chronicling vegetation and fire regime changes in the Queens Domain,
