Rheological Properties of Southern Pine Oleoresins

Applied Rheology, 2015
Despite the economic and ecologic importance of pine oleoresins, their rheology remains little explored. In this report we describe rheological properties of oleoresins produced by mature trees of four southern pines native to North America (loblolly ...

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

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
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).

Accuracy of wildlife observations identified by citizen scientists in Florida

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Citizen scientists varied widely in their ability to identify wildlife, with bird identifications substantially more accurate than those of snakes, mustelids, and panthers. Despite frequent misidentifications, public observations generated more confirmed records than professional biologists, demonstrating the value of their involvement. Quality‐control

Gaps in a gappy forest: plant resources, longleaf pine regeneration, and understory response to tree removal in longleaf pine savannas

, 2001
Resource availability and planted longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) seedling and understory vegetation response within and among three sizes of experimentally created canopy gaps (0.11, 0.41, 1.63 ha) in a mature longleaf pine savanna were ...

Successful translocation of an imperiled amphibian following targeted habitat restoration efforts

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Recovery strategies have increasingly called for the use of conservation translocations to overcome barriers to natural recolonization of suitable habitat to reverse population declines. The critically imperiled Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander (Ambystoma bishopi) has experienced severe range contractions and local extirpations across most of ...

Increasing precipitation variability and climate-growth responses of five tree species in North Carolina, USA

Environmental Research: Climate, 2023
We examined the effects of increasing summertime precipitation variability from 1950 to 2022 on the radial-growth responses of five tree species native to central North Carolina, USA.

Impacts of Tropical Cyclones on Longleaf Pine Ecosystems of Florida: Tropical Cyclogenesis, Landfall Frequencies, and Climate Change

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Tropical storms and hurricanes (collectively hereafter, tropical cyclones) are among the most destructive forces in nature. These threats are of particular concern to human populations and ecosystems of coastal areas of the southeastern United States ...

Assessing working lands as habitat for disturbance‐dependent birds using autonomous recording units

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Working lands can provide habitat for declining disturbance‐dependent birds, such as Bachman's Sparrow (Peucaea aestivalis) and Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), but it remains unclear whether restoration following intensive land use (e.g. surface mining) yields habitat comparable to less intensive land uses (e.g.

Fire frequency and timing influence bee–flower interactions: a case study from an oak‐pine savanna restoration on the Cumberland Plateau

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Native plant communities have declined in the southeastern United States over the past century because of habitat loss and fire suppression. While restoration of these communities often requires prescribed fire, the effects of fire on endemic insects remain unclear.
