Joint telemetry and mark–recapture model reveal resource selection affects Northern Bobwhite chick survival

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Resource selection studies have become increasingly common since the advent of modern animal tracking equipment, yet most studies fail to examine how selection affects vital rates or population growth (i.e., fitness). Without investigating if optimal habitat selection is facilitated in a system, conservation efforts may promote ineffective ...

Effects of Four Afforestation Stands on Some Physical, Chemical and Biological Properties of Soil in Northern Iran

Annals of Silvicultural Research, 2021
Selected species for afforestation have different effects on soil quality in addition to differences in their growth. The aim of current study was to investigate the effects of afforestation with four tree species, including chestnut-leaved oak, loblolly

Key Drivers of Soil CO2, CH4, and N2O Fluxes in Conifer and Broadleaf Afforestation Systems in the Southeastern U.S.: A Machine Learning Analysis

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Soil CO2 and CH4 emissions were higher in broadleaf than conifer afforestation systems in the southeastern U.S., particularly during the growing season. Machine learning analyses identified soil temperature, moisture, and atmospheric conditions as key drivers, emphasizing that soil greenhouse gas responses critically influence the climate mitigation ...

Use of Haploid Mixtures and Heteroduplex Analysis Enhance Polymorphisms Revealed by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis

BioTechniques, 2000
PCR-based codominant genetic markers were developed by using primer sequences designed from cDNA clones of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Such markers offer certain advantages relative to simple-sequence repeat (SSR), also known as short-tandem repeat ...

Interannual dynamic resource selection patterns of the northern bobwhite in a region with poor edaphic conditions

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) prefer inoculated peanuts over whole‐kernel corn in cafeteria‐style study

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.
In this study, we explored bait preference of wild pigs (Sus scrofa), a highly invasive species where primary removal efforts include the use of bait and corral‐style trapping. In addition, we investigated preferences of a common nontarget to identify a bait that is preferred by wild pigs and not by white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

Processing the Loblolly Pine PtGen2 cDNA Microarray [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2009
PtGen2 is a 26,496 feature cDNA microarray containing amplified loblolly pine ESTs. The array is produced in our laboratory for use by researchers studying gene expression in pine and other conifer species. PtGen2 was developed as a result of our gene discovery efforts in loblolly pine, and is comprised of sequences identified primarily from root ...

Effects of forest treatments on nutritional carrying capacity for white‐tailed deer in mid‐rotation loblolly pine stands

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.
In this study we compared nutritional carrying capacity (NCC) for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) among 6 treatment combinations in mid‐rotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) forests, including 3 levels of commercial thinning. We also paired each level of thinning with prescribed fire, prescribed fire with herbicide, or herbicide only ...

Nucleotide diversity and linkage disequilibrium in loblolly pine [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004
Outbreeding species with large, stable population sizes, such as widely distributed conifers, are expected to harbor relatively more DNA sequence polymorphism. Under the neutral theory of molecular evolution, the expected heterozygosity is a function of the product 4 N e μ,
