Vegetation response to a short interval between high-severity wildfires in a mixed-evergreen forest

open access: yes, 2009
1 Variations in disturbance regime strongly influence ecosystem structure and function. A prominent form of such variation is when multiple high-severity wildfires occur in rapid succession (i.e. short-interval (SI) severe fires, or ‘re-burns’).

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Dopaminergic novelty detection and theta oscillations: Virtual reality‐based adaptive interventions for cognitive enhancement in aging

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Aging‐related cognitive decline is associated with reduced dopaminergic signaling and disrupted theta oscillations, which together impair novelty detection and memory formation. This review shows how VR environments can be used to deliver adaptive, novelty‐rich stimuli that engage dopaminergic circuits and entrain theta rhythms, thereby enhancing ...
