Network dynamics revealed from eDNA highlight seasonal variation in urban mammal communities. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Our novel study applied eDNA to track seasonal shifts in urban mammal communities, revealing changes in diversity and species interaction networks across 21 urban parks in Detroit. We highlight the influence of park size and human activity on biodiversity, demonstrating the utility of eDNA for urban conservation and wildlife management.

Effects of snake fungal disease (ophidiomycosis) on the skin microbiome across two major experimental scales. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly recognized as a significant threat to global biodiversity conservation. Elucidating the relationship between pathogens and the host microbiome could lead to novel approaches for mitigating disease impacts.

Floristic diversity, composition and dominance across Amazonian forest types respond differently to latitude

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 685-698, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The latitudinal biodiversity gradient is considered a first‐order biogeographical pattern for most taxonomic groups. Latitudinal variation in plant diversity is not always consistent, and this could be related to the particular characteristics of different forest types.

Diversity patterns of epiphytic bryophytes across spatial scales: Species‐rich crowns and beta‐diverse trunks

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 893-905, July 2022., 2022
Forest canopies are highly complex habitats, home to a wide range of organism groups. We observed that spatial scaling of alpha and beta diversity patterns differs between crown and trunk epiphytic bryophyte communities. The evidence we provide contributes to further understanding how processes such as species interactions and environmental filtering ...

The relationship between equine pastern dermatitis, meteorological factors, and the skin microbiota

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 165-e48, April 2022., 2022
Background – Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a multifactorial syndrome, with prolonged exposure to moisture assumed to be a predisposing or primary factor. Hypothesis/Objectives – To examine the course of EPD lesion severity, changes in bacterial skin microbiota, and the influence of meteorological factors.

Agriculture causes homogenization of plant‐feeding nematode communities at the regional scale

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 2881-2891, December 2021., 2021
The importance of soil nematodes in soil processes is well known. We show that land‐use intensification reduces soil nematode diversity. Our study has important implications for the development of management strategies that foster soil biodiversity conservation such as no or minimal tillage and logging, vegetative covers and the maintenance of natural ...

Functional diversity of macroinvertebrates as a tool to evaluate wetland restoration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 2999-3011, December 2021., 2021
Considering different aspects of functional diversity of invertebrate communities can help elucidate the processes and mechanisms through which ecosystems recover following restoration. We encourage the use of trait‐based approaches to identify trends in processes and patterns that can guide future wetland restoration projects.
