Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Potential for post‐fire recovery of Greater Sage‐grouse habitat

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
In the western United States, fire has become a significant concern in the management of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) ecosystems. This is due to large‐scale increases in cover of the fire‐prone invasive annual cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.)

Responses of generalist invertebrate predators to pupal densities of autumnal and winter moths under field conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
1. Generalist natural enemies are usually not considered as being capable of causing population cycles in forest insects, but they may influence the population dynamics of their prey in the low density cycle phase when specialist enemies are largely ...

Preface: Impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances on carbon dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The impacts of extreme climate events and disturbances (ECE&D) on the carbon cycle have received growing attention in recent years. This special issue showcases a collection of recent advances in understanding the impacts of ECE&D on carbon cycling ...

Curating Spaces: Showcasing Indigenous Identity Through Collaborative Art Practices at a University Campus

open access: yesCurator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within Aotearoa New Zealand there is a growing body of evidence which shows that embedding cultural elements within student experience is a key contribution to the educational success of Māori and Pasifika students. This article describes how the Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland Art Collection team collaborates with indigenous ...

Genomic and Physiological Insights Into Heat–Drought Tolerance in Wheat Through GWAS and Phenotypic Evaluation

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...

Wildlife damage to crops: Perceptions of agricultural and wildlife leaders in 1957, 1987, and 2017

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
A national survey of wildlife agency directors was conducted during 1957 to determine their perceptions of wildlife damage to agriculture. This study was repeated in 1987, expanding the sample to include chief executive officers of state Farm Bureaus and

Climate Controls on Carbon Dioxide Fluxes in a High‐Elevation Grassland

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Climate change is significantly influencing high‐elevation grasslands, possibly unbalancing CO2 exchanges and the sink‐source dynamics. Cumulated heat available for plant growth and vegetation cover were identified as the main controllers of phenological development and, via direct or mediated effects, of CO2 fluxes (ER and GPP).

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Phenology largely explains taller grass at successful nests in greater sage‐grouse

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Much interest lies in the identification of manageable habitat variables that affect key vital rates for species of concern. For ground‐nesting birds, vegetation surrounding the nest may play an important role in mediating nest success by providing ...
