The role of habitat in predator-prey dynamics and its applications

Habitat is a powerful force in ecosystems, and the quantity and quality of habitat can shape ecosystem structure and function. Among the many important roles that habitat plays is as a mediator of ecological interactions, including predator–prey dynamics.

CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES FOR WILD TURKEY RELEASE PRIORITIES IN INDIANA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1990
: Habitat criteria based on the theoretical potential to support self‐sustaining wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) populations serve as a more objective guide for determining restoration priorities. We derived criteria from literature sources,

Stream Restoration Is Influenced by Details of Engineered Habitats at a Headwater Mine Site

Diversity, 2021
A lack of information regarding which ecological factors influence restoration success or failure has hindered scientifically based restoration decision-making.

Living Electronics: Microbial Metabolism as Batteries, Resistors, and Capacitors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Three microorganisms are assigned the three elementary roles of a circuit on one sheet of paper. Dormant Bacillus subtilis spores germinate to switch the power source on; a photosynthetic Synechocystis biofilm sets resistance by the color and intensity of light; and a respiring Shewanella oneidensis biofilm stores charge. Together they form a printable

Modeling the Potential Habitat Gained by Planting Sagebrush in Burned Landscapes

Conservation
Many revegetation projects are intended to benefit wildlife species. Yet, there are few a priori evaluations that assess the potential efficiency of restoration actions in recovering wildlife habitats.

Reverse auctions for drought‐responsive water buybacks: Evidence from co‐designed lab and field experiments

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Protecting endangered aquatic species while sustaining farming communities can require water buyback programs that are both cost‐effective and responsive to the variability and unpredictability of drought conditions. Working in close partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Water Planning and Policy Center, we co‐design parallel

The role of species traits in mediating functional recovery during matrix restoration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Reversing anthropogenic impacts on habitat structure is frequently successful through restoration, but the mechanisms linking habitat change, community reassembly and recovery of ecosystem functioning remain unknown.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Fish habitat restoration and interannual variability in intensively monitored watersheds

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The Western Washington Intensively Monitored Watersheds (IMW) study was designed to assess the cumulative effects of extensive stream habitat restoration over long durations at ‘watershed’ geographic extents. We conducted annual surveys from 2004 through

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...
