Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Coyote diets in a longleaf pine ecosystem [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2016 The ecological implications of coyote Canis latrans colonization of the eastern USA have drawn considerable interest from land managers and the general public. The ability to predict how these ecosystems, which have lacked larger predators for decades, would respond to the invasion of this ...

The informal economy of wiregrass production for longleaf pine restoration in Florida
Trees, Forests and PeopleWiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana/stricta) is an understory grass most often associated with the ecosystem health, function, and biodiversity over a substantial part of the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) range, especially in Florida.

Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5225-5236, June 2026.Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Studies on the earliest life stages are essential to our ecological understanding of avian demography; however, monitoring technologies that allow tracking of small birds are still limited in a variety of ways. One critical limitation, until recently, has been the development of methods for attaching transmitters to young birds with precocial ...

Diurnal Pine Bark Structure Dynamics Affect Properties Relevant to Firebrand Generation
Fire, 2020 Firebrands are an important agent of wildfire spread and structure fire ignitions at the wildland urban interface. Bark flake morphology has been highlighted as an important yet poorly characterized factor in firebrand generation, transport, deposition ...

Fire‐survival strategies of first‐year acacia seedlings
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.Acacia seedlings (11 of 12 species) acquire some ability to survive grass fires in their first year, either by resisting topkill with thickened stems and/or by regrowing from below‐ground stems. The results suggest that small differences in these fire‐survival strategies at this crucial life stage translate to large differences in savanna physiognomy ...
