Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Wetlands Water Level Measurements From the New Generation of Satellite Laser Altimeters: Systematic Spatial‐Temporal Evaluation of ICESat‐2 and GEDI Missions Over the South Florida Everglades

Water Resources Research
The ICESat‐2 and GEDI missions were launched in 2018, becoming the new generation of space‐borne laser altimeters. These missions provide unprecedented global geodetic elevations, opening great opportunities for water level monitoring.

The invasive spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) in Florida, United States: invasion timeline, insights, and implications for Everglades restoration

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
The spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) is a crocodylian native to Central and South America that has been introduced and established (reproducing in the wild) in several insular (i.e., Cuba, Puerto Rico, San Andres) and continental (i.e., Florida ...

Monitoring and Research on Wading Birds in the Water Conservation Areas ofthe Everglades: The 1996 Nesting season [PDF]

, 1996
This project was initiated to continue monitoring reproductive responses of wading birds in the central Everglades, and to investigate two areas of research considered key to understanding and managing wading birds: nestling energetics, and factors ...

Experimentally testing the function of anal fins in the bluefin killifish, Lucania goodei

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anal fins are thought to affect many functions, including swimming, sperm flow and signalling. However, there are few experimental demonstrations of these functions. We manipulated male anal fins by placing a cut in the fin. We found that cut males had lower fertilization rates than uncut males.

Everglade Renaissance

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1994
The Army Corps of Engineers unveiled a nearly 2000‐page blueprint last month to reinvigorate hydrological conditions in the South Florida Everglades. If the most ambitious of the six recommended options is carried out, the plan would be the largest environmental restoration project ever undertaken.

Factors affecting breeding status of wading birds in the Everglades. [PDF]

, 2000
This goals of this research and monitoring effort are to document nesting effort and roughly categorize success of nesting by wading birds in the central Everglades of Florida, and to investigate the causes of nonbreeding in a high proportion of the ...

Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate
