Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

Is 500m2 an effective plot size to sample floristic diversity for Queensland’s vegetation? [PDF]

, 2013
Species area curves from 37 sites spanning the diversity of native vegetation in Queensland were examined. For the majority of sites investigated a 500 m2 plot captured about 80–90% of the vascular plant species present at the time of sampling. Floristic

Louisiana coastal prairie vascular flora checklist with coefficients of conservatism for floristic quality assessments

Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas
Coastal prairie historically ranged across ~ 3.6 million ha in Texas and Louisiana, with approximately 1.01 million ha in Louisiana. This once-expansive grassland is now critically imperiled, with less than one percent remaining (0.02% remaining in Louisiana). This work was inspired by recent discovery of defensible prairie remnants on grazing lands in

Fletcheria gen. nov. (Ralfsiales, Phaeophyceae): A new crustose brown algal genus clarifying evolutionary relationships of Ralfsia pacifica

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Ralfsia was historically broadly circumscribed but has recently undergone significant taxonomic revision. Based on molecular data, a restricted Ralfsia sensu stricto was delineated that had many species reassigned to new genera and families.

California's vernal‐pool mousetails (Myosurus, Ranunculaceae): Phylogenetic analysis of ddRADseq data, hybridization tests, and species delimitation

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the first phylogenetic analysis of the Californian species of Myosurus. Our ddRADseq analysis reveals considerably more diversity than what was recognized in recent floristic treatments. Myosurus minimus subsp. apus was found to be a rare species restricted to Southern California and northwestern Baja California.

The power of choice: how early performance of tree species may shape direct seeding for tropical forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The success of direct seeding depends on appropriate species selection. Understanding the geographic and taxonomic distribution of species used, along with their performance profiles, can inform more effective restoration outcomes.

Long‐term effects of annual mowing on plant diversity, community composition, and temporal stability in wet grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wet grasslands and fens are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems whose structure and functioning are shaped by disturbance, productivity, and hydrological conditions. Their persistence depends on management. Although mowing is widely used to maintain these habitats, its long‐term effects on species diversity and community composition ...

Ground mammal colonization of restored wildlife corridors in the tropical uplands of north‐eastern Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Since European settlement, Australia's Wet Tropics bioregion has been extensively cleared, leaving a mosaic of rainforest fragments, crops, pastures, orchards, and human settlement. Fragment isolation leads to declines in faunal diversity and genetic variability, effects potentially exacerbated by climate change. Restoring habitat
