Tracking spatial regimes in animal communities: Implications for resilience-based management
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Spatial regimes (the spatial extents of ecological states) exhibit strong spatiotemporal order as they expand or contract in response to retreating or encroaching adjacent spatial regimes (e.g., woody plant invasion of grasslands) and human management (e.

Birds as bio-indicators and as tools to evaluate restoration measures [PDF]
, 2010 Within the RIPIDURABLE Project*, birds were used to characterize ecosystems*, to monitor environmental changes and to assess results of restoration measures.

Collapse of a desert bird community over the past century driven by climate change [PDF]
, 2020 Climate change has caused deserts, already defined by climatic extremes, to warm and dry more rapidly than other ecoregions in the contiguous United States over the last 50 years.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Legacy forest structure increases bird diversity and abundance in aging young forests
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Many studies have demonstrated the importance of early‐successional forest habitat for breeding bird abundance, composition, and diversity. However, very few studies directly link measures of bird diversity, composition and abundance to measures of ...

Temporal changes in randomness of bird communities across Central Europe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many studies have examined whether communities are structured by random or deterministic processes, and both are likely to play a role, but relatively few studies have attempted to quantify the degree of randomness in species composition.

The Iowa Review, 1997 This has to be done from the outside. If I went inside, and you fol lowed me, we'd both be lost, possibly forever. You'll trust me on this, but first I want to give you a few unassailable facts. When I say unas sailable, I mean objective. Being objective is what a person does to stay on the outside. That's the theory.

Bird Population Changes Following the Establishment of a Diverse Stand of Woody Plants in a Former Crop Field in North Dakota, 1975– 2015 [PDF]
, 2018 Changes in the coverage of trees and shrubs on the North Dakota landscape since Euro- American settlement have likely had a pronounced impact on bird species that favor woody vegetation.

Linking Snake Behavior to Nest Predation in a Midwestern Bird Community
, 2010 Nest predators can adversely affect the viability of songbird populations, and their impact is exacerbated in fragmented habitats. Despite substantial research on this predator-prey interaction, however, almost all of the focus has been on the birds ...

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.
