Terrestrial Isopods as Biotic Generators of Microplastics Following Chronic Exposure to Weathered Low‐Density Polyethylene

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...

Interactions between prairie dogs and arthropods in grassland ecosystems: a review and research gaps

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are an important component of grassland ecosystems of North America where they can alter vegetation composition/structure and physical attributes of grassland habitats through their feeding and burrowing behavior. Impacts of prairie dog presence on many wildlife and plant taxa have been widely studied but research on prairie

Sensitivities of sage‐grouse to weather and climate: Implications for indicator species in a moisture‐limited ecosystem Sensibilidades del gallo de las artemisas al clima y las condiciones meteorológicas: implicaciones para una especie indicadora de ecosistemas limitados por la humedad

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
Abstract Sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.) are considered an indicator species for sagebrush ecosystems but are declining range‐wide, resulting from a suite of anthropogenic threats that are reducing habitat availability and quality throughout the sagebrush biome.

The impacts of large wild grazers on soil carbon persistence are strongly modulated by the environmental context

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wild animals, particularly large mammalian grazers, can influence ecosystem carbon dynamics and soil carbon sequestration. However, we lack a mechanistic understanding of how wild grazer communities influence soil carbon persistence, specifically in terms of the size of
