Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

A Dynamic Bioeconomic Model of Ivory Trade: Details and Extended Results [PDF]

open access: yes
Trade in ivory is banned under CITES in an effort to protect the African elephant. The trade ban is supported by some range states, most notably Kenya, because they see the ban as an effective means for protecting a ‘flagship’ species, one that attracts ...

Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...

Survival of a potential bacterial biocontrol agent in the soil and its impact on microbial communities

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
In soil microcosms, the candidate Bacillus persisted ≥6 months and caused modest community shifts whose transience and magnitude were soil dependent. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major crop pathogen commonly managed using fungicides.

The relationship of life stage to daily social patterns of captive African elephants (Loxodonta africana) and the correlation of handler perceptions of elephant personality to demonstrated social behaviors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Elephants typically have very strong social bonds, and social interactions can include affiliative, agonistic, or ambiguous behaviors. The social interactions and dominance hierarchy between individuals of a herd depend upon many factors, including ...

Resilient Flow Regimes in the Rio Grande—Río Bravo Basin

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is essential for human development and is an indispensable resource for economic activity and a country's growth. However, current water practices, along with increasing land‐use change, climate change, and agricultural practices, have significantly altered the hydrological cycle and water availability.
