Satellite-based hyperspectral imaging and cartographic visualization of bark beetle forest damage for the city of Čabar

Tehnički Glasnik, 2018
After enormous amount of ice rain during 2014 huge damage was done in forests in Croatia, especially in the city of Čabar area. Damage of forests is reflected in wide spread of bark beetle.

Habitat characteristics along spring migration routes of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in the southern San Juan Mountains

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated habitat characteristics of spring migration routes and stopover sites for adult female elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the San Juan Mountains (2021–2022) and found species‐specific differences in vegetation structure, terrain, and proximity to land cover types relative to ...

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Narratives of ‘home landscapes’ guide stewardship practices among Swedish forest owners

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Production forests play an important role in addressing many of our current sustainability challenges. Therefore, how these forests are managed and what motivates the people who are managing them are important for sustainability. 47 per cent of forests in Europe are privately owned.

Dose–response modelling uncovers compound‐specific inhibitory effects of host defence volatiles on mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...

Special delivery: A hardwood‐killing bark beetle vectors its unusual symbiote among host trees

Ecosphere
In mutualistic symbioses with fungi, herbivorous insects such as bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) gain access to resources that are unavailable in the absence of fungal mutualists, while fungi benefit from insect‐vectored dispersal ...

Recent bark beetle outbreaks have little impact on streamflow in the Western United States

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
In the Western United States (US), the current mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae ) epidemic has affected more than five million hectares since its start in 1996, including headwater catchments that supply water to much of the Western US.

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Cross-attraction between an exotic and a native pine bark beetle: a novel invasion mechanism? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Aside from the ecological impacts, invasive species fascinate ecologists because of the unique opportunities that invasives offer in the study of community ecology.
