Local forest structure variability increases resilience to wildfire in dry western U.S. coniferous forests. [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2020
A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems.

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]

, 2010
We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Temperature and barometric pressure affect the activity intensity and movement of an endangered thermoconforming lizard

Ecosphere, 2022
Global warming is expected to affect movement‐related thermoregulation in ectotherms, but the likely effects on thermoconforming lizards, which spend little energy in thermoregulation behavior, are unclear. We used the Guatemalan beaded lizard (Heloderma

Parrot Ownership and Capture in Coastal Ecuador: Developing a Trapping Pressure Index

Diversity, 2021
We located rural communities with pet parrots and used these locations to predict the probability of illegal parrot ownership across coastal Ecuador, using variables related to demand for pets, parrot availability, and trapping accessibility.

Beyond the blame game: a restoration pathway reconciles ecologists' and local leaders' divergent models of seasonally dry tropical forest degradation

Ecology and Society, 2019
An understanding of ecosystem dynamics under different scenarios of degradation is required to reverse ecological degradation and identify restoration priorities.
