Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Combining surface and soil environmental DNA with artificial cover objects to improve terrestrial reptile survey detection. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Reptiles are increasingly of conservation concern due to their susceptibility to habitat loss, emerging disease, and harvest in the wildlife trade. However, reptile populations are often difficult to monitor given the frequency of crypsis in their life history.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEctomycorrhizal fungi play essential roles in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrient uptake at high latitudes. However, they have disproportionately been studied in boreal forests dominated by evergreen conifers. We characterized ectomycorrhizal associations and the nitrogen economy of co‐occurring deciduous and evergreen angiosperms from the genus ...
