Ecotone Might Provide Key Refugium for Sky Island Mammals in the Southern Appalachian Mountains
Sky islands are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world but face a disproportionately high threat from climate change. We examined the spruce‐fir–northern hardwood ecotone as a possible refugium for mammals in the Southern Appalachian red spruce (Picea rubens)–Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) sky islands.

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

Abstract Coastal wetlands, including seagrass meadows, emergent marshes, mangroves, and temperate tidal swamps, can efficiently sequester and store large quantities of sediment organic carbon (SOC). However, SOC stocks may vary by ecosystem type and along environmental or climate gradients at different scales.

Bee Diversity and Abundance During Peach Bloom in South Carolina, United States
ABSTRACT Peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) is an important speciality fruit crop in the United States. Peach is self‐compatible, but bee pollination enhances fruit sets and diverse populations improve pollination efficiency. However, the bee diversity and abundance in peach orchards in South Carolina are unknown.

High‐Quality Genomic DNA Extraction Protocol for Bacillus and Clostridium Species
Abstract High‐quality DNA with sufficient yield is the goal of DNA extraction protocols. We present an optimized, cost‐effective method for extracting next‐generation sequencing (NGS)‐quality genomic DNA from Bacillus and Clostridium species using the chloroform‐isoamyl approach.

Climate, food and humans predict communities of mammals in the United States
Abstract Aim The assembly of species into communities and ecoregions is the result of interacting factors that affect plant and animal distribution and abundance at biogeographic scales. Here, we empirically derive ecoregions for mammals to test whether human disturbance has become more important than climate and habitat resources in structuring ...

Maternal behaviors influence survival of ungulate neonates under heavy predation risk
Predators impose top‐down forces on prey populations, yet few field studies to date have been able to directly assess the influence of maternal care on ungulate offspring survival. The support we observed for the maternal dispersion hypothesis over previously widely supported hypothesized drivers of juvenile survival suggests that managers concerned ...

Multiscale pore‐network reconstruction of a fine‐textured heterogeneous soil
Abstract Digital samples offer many opportunities to study subsurface fluid flow and contaminant transport processes. The pore size distribution of especially fine‐textured porous media often covers many orders of magnitude in the length scale, which makes accurate microCT scanning and modeling of the underlying processes difficult.
