Effects of forest management on the conservation of bird communities in eastern North America: A meta‐analysis

Ecosphere, 2023
Forest management affects conditions for both early‐ and late‐seral organisms, and managers and conservationists require information for balancing the ostensibly opposing habitat needs of both these guilds.

Diversity of Nearctic Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata)

Diversity, 2022
Rarely have studies assessed Odonata diversity for the entire Nearctic realm by including Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For the first time, we explored Odonata diversity in this region according to a definition of natural community assemblages ...

Evaluating Spatial Coverage of the Greater Sage-Grouse Umbrella to Conserve Sagebrush-Dependent Species Biodiversity within the Wyoming Basins

Land
Biodiversity is threatened due to land-use change, overexploitation, pollution, and anthropogenic climate change, altering ecosystem functioning around the globe.

The non-market benefits of early and partial gains in managing threatened salmon.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Threatened species are increasingly dependent on conservation investments for persistence and recovery. Information that resource managers could use to evaluate investments-such as the public benefits arising from alternative conservation designs-is ...

Native mycorrhizal fungi improve milkweed growth, latex, and establishment while some commercial fungi may inhibit them

Ecosphere, 2022
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are root symbionts that can facilitate plant growth and influence plant communities by altering plant interactions with herbivores.

Systematics, natural history, and conservation of Erica (Ericaceae) [PDF]

PhytoKeys
Worldwide, many tens of thousands of plant species are threatened with extinction in the wild. Those that are naturally rare or have narrow distributions are particularly vulnerable.

Plasticity in plastid redox networks: evolution of glutathione-dependent redox cascades and glutathionylation sites

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Flexibility of plant metabolism is supported by redox regulation of enzymes via posttranslational modification of cysteine residues, especially in plastids.

The importance of Indigenous Territories for conserving bat diversity across the Amazon biome

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Indigenous Peoples have shaped and managed vast tracts of the Amazon rainforest for millennia. However, evaluations of how much biodiversity is governed under Indigenous stewardship are scarce.

The WTP for property rights for the Giant Panda: can a charismatic species be an instrument for conservation of natural habitat? [PDF]

, 2002
The paper presents the results from a stated preference study to address issues concerning the potential for using flag-ship species, such as the Giant Panda, to purchase the property rights for the conservation of natural habitat. The study finds, first,

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
