Land use change, fragmentation, and sea level rise create escalating viability concerns for an imperiled salamander

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Many organisms with complex life cycles rely on both terrestrial and aquatic habitats to survive, which increases their susceptibility to habitat fragmentation as they require access to sufficient amounts of both habitat types as well as connectivity between them. Amphibian species are often very susceptible to these anthropogenic disturbances

Science-based restoration monitoring of coastal habitats, Volume Two: Tools for monitoring coastal habitats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Healthy coastal habitats are not only important ecologically; they also support healthy coastal communities and improve the quality of people’s lives. Despite their many benefits and values, coastal habitats have been systematically modified, degraded ...

Invasion stress mitigates climate stress in a brackish marsh amphipod

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 253-266, February 2025.
Understanding the potential benefits of Phragmites as climate stress refugia can inform management decisions around its mitigation in future restoration. Abstract Organisms in coastal brackish ecosystems face not only highly variable environmental conditions, but the intensity and stochasticity of these environmental conditions are anticipated to ...

Harnessing Cattail Biomass for Sustainable Fibers and Engineered Bioproducts: A Review

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2025.
Integrating plant biology and materials chemistry is vital for enhancing cattail fiber characteristics and developing engineered bioproducts. This review explores cattails' environmental benefits, including carbon sequestration, alongside degumming methods for fiber extraction.

Optimal foraging theory and early Archaic plant use at North Creek Shelter

open access: yes, 2008
Optimal Foraging Theory has received considerable intellectual criticism since its use as an archaeological tool for understanding human behavior. In this thesis, I will evaluate Optimal Foraging Theory with an empirical test from North Creek Shelter, an

Forbs from seasonal managed wetlands boost plankton production more than emergent graminoids by supplying novel labile detritus

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 1686-1701, November 2024.
Abstract Opportunities to enhance ecosystem functions exist in human‐dominated working landscapes, but understanding of key drivers is often lacking in these novel environments. In Suisun Marsh, California, USA, impounded managed wetlands designed to promote waterfowl incidentally support higher plankton densities—a key resource for imperilled pelagic ...

Methane fluxes in tidal marshes of the conterminous United States

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2024.
We collected methane emissions data from 100 chamber and 9 eddy covariance sites across tidal marshes in the conterminous United States to understand the factors controlling methane emissions and improve predictions. We found that porewater sulfate and salinity are key predictors of annual methane emissions across sites, while temperature, plant ...

Invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) diets on barrier islands in the southeastern United States

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 8, Page 3901-3911, August 2024.
Wild pigs on southeastern USA barrier islands exhibited a seasonal dietary shift to extensive foraging on beaches for crabs and other coastal invertebrates spring–summer during sea turtle nesting season. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasions are a leading cause of reductions in global biodiversity.
