Do beaver ponds increase methane emissions along Arctic tundra streams?
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Beaver engineering in the Arctic tundra induces hydrologic and geomorphic changes that are favorable to methane (CH _4 ) production. Beaver-mediated methane emissions are driven by inundation of existing vegetation, conversion from lotic to lentic ...

Susceptibility of Beavers to Chronic Wasting Disease
Biology, 2022 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal, neurodegenerative prion disease of cervids. The expanding geographical range and rising prevalence of CWD are increasing the risk of pathogen transfer and spillover of CWD to non-cervid sympatric ...
