Interactive effect of herbivory and competition on the invasive plant Mikania micrantha. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A considerable number of host-specific biological control agents fail to control invasive plants in the field, and exploring the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is important and helpful for the management of invasive plants.

Near-Real-Time Monitoring of Insect Defoliation Using Landsat Time Series
, 2017 Introduced insects and pathogens impact millions of acres of forested land in the United States each year, and large-scale monitoring efforts are essential for tracking the spread of outbreaks and quantifying the extent of damage. However, monitoring the

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Soil conditions are critical factors shaping forest structure and tree species composition in seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs); however, few studies have evaluated edaphic effects in Cambodia's unique lowland forest landscape, where different forest types coexist under similar climatic conditions.

Partial defoliation of Brachypodium distachyon plants grown in petri dishes under low light increases P and other nutrient levels concomitantly with transcriptional changes in the roots [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background There have been few studies on the partial defoliation response of grass. It has been unclear how partial defoliation may affect roots at the levels of nutrient accumulation and transcriptional regulation.

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2007 We consider the mathematical model originally created by Ludwig, Jones, and Holling to model the infestation of spruce forests in New Brunswick by the spruce budworm. With biologically plausible parameter values, the dimensionless version of the model contains small parameters derived from the time scales of the state variables and smaller parameters ...

Resource limitation and competition shape reproductive allocation and synchrony
Oikos, EarlyView.The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising that both belowground resource limitation and the presence of dominant species ...

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Overexploitation can counteract top‐down control and the paradox of enrichment in simple food chains
Oikos, EarlyView.Because of its high abundance or its high feeding intensity, a consumer can overexploit its resource by consuming it on a shorter timescale than resource regeneration. While this short‐term overexploitation is widespread in nature, its general implications for biotic control patterns and ecosystem stability are not clear.
