Review of considerations for restoration of tule elk to the San Francisco Peninsula and northern Monterey Bay counties of California

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2022
Successful translocations of tule elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) have been conducted since the early 1900s, with their state population rising from a nadir of as few as three surviving individuals to about 500 when reintroductions began, and to over 5 ...

Historical Fires Induced Deforestation in Relict Scots Pine Forests during the Late 19th Century

open access: yesFire, 2021
Mountain forests are subjected to several pressures including historical land-use changes and climate warming which may lead to shifts in wildfire severity negatively impacting tree species with low post-fire growth resilience. This is the case of relict

The globalization of naval provisioning: ancient DNA and stable isotope analyses of stored cod from the wreck of the Mary Rose, AD 1545 [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
A comparison of ancient DNA (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) and carbon and nitrogen stable isotope evidence suggests that stored cod provisions recovered from the wreck of the Tudor warship Mary Rose, which sank in the Solent, southern England, in 1545,

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

The Native Bee Fauna of Carlinville, Illinois, Revisited After 75 Years: a Case for Persistence

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2001
As a follow-up to the observations of Charles Robertson from 1884 to 1916, we revisited the Carlinville, Illinois, area between 18 August 1970 and 13 September1972 to sample and identify bee species (Hymenoptera: Apoidea).

Les systèmes agricoles du passé peuvent-ils inspirer la transition écologique ?

open access: yesLes Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2020
Archaeology has a unique role to play in shaping the transition to more sustainable lifestyles. However, archaeology has so far had little impact in discussions of strategies to face major societal challenges such as how to ensure food security, adapt to
