Broadening the impact of plant science through innovative, integrative, and inclusive outreach. [PDF]

Plant Direct, 2021
Abstract Population growth and climate change will impact food security and potentially exacerbate the environmental toll that agriculture has taken on our planet. These existential concerns demand that a passionate, interdisciplinary, and diverse community of plant science professionals is trained during the 21st century.

Integrating Population Genetics With Long-Term Environmental Monitoring to Evaluate and Guide Vernal Pool Creation for Amphibian Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the success of created vernal pools in sustaining local amphibian populations (i.e., wood frogs and spotted salamanders) in a Pennsylvania state park from 2014 to 2023. By comparing environmental parameters and genetic diversity between natural and created pools, we found that well‐designed created pools positively contributed ...

Toward a large-scale and deep phenological stage annotation of herbarium specimens: Case studies from temperate, tropical, and equatorial floras. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci, 2019
Premise of the Study Phenological annotation models computed on large‐scale herbarium data sets were developed and tested in this study. Methods Herbarium specimens represent a significant resource with which to study plant phenology. Nevertheless, phenological annotation of herbarium specimens is time‐consuming, requires substantial human investment ...

Rethinking local seed sourcing for the restoration of a foundational grass species in California

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 8, November 2023., 2023
Restricting seed collecting to local populations is a common practice in restoration because it is assumed that most plants are adapted to local environmental conditions. However, there is still considerable debate about whether local seed collection should be the default seed‐provenancing strategy as the effects of climate change are increasingly ...

The Only Girl in Amoy: Gender and American Patriotism in a Nineteenth‐Century Treaty Port

Gender &History, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 954-972, October 2023., 2023
Abstract In 1861, twenty‐year‐old Ruth Bradford accompanied her father to the Chinese treaty port of Amoy where he was to serve as American consul. Bradford recorded this trip in a diary kept from her departure from New York until her 1863 return. Drawing upon her diary, this paper explores how Bradford, as the only American woman in Amoy, refined her ...

Evapotranspiration of Residential Lawns Across the United States

Water Resources Research, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite interest in the contribution of evapotranspiration (ET) of residential turfgrass lawns to household and municipal water budgets across the United States, the spatial and temporal variability of residential lawn ET across large scales is highly uncertain.

Integrative data reuse at scientifically significant sites: Case studies at Yellowstone National Park and the La Brea Tar Pits

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 73, Issue 8, Page 1155-1170, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Scientifically significant sites are the source of, and long‐term repository for, considerable amounts of data—particularly in the natural sciences. However, the unique data practices of the researchers and resource managers at these sites have been relatively understudied.

Host evolutionary relationships explain tree mortality caused by a generalist pest–pathogen complex

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1083-1094, April 2021., 2021
Abstract The phylogenetic signal of transmissibility (competence) and attack severity among hosts of generalist pests is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the phylogenetic effects on hosts differentially affected by an emergent generalist beetle–pathogen complex in California and South Africa. Host types (non‐competent, competent and killed‐

Inferring multispecies distributional aggregation level from limited line transect‐derived biodiversity data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 7, Page 1015-1023, July 2019., 2019
Abstract Ecologists have generally concluded that species distributions are not random (e.g. aggregate), based on single‐species studies that applied single‐species–based statistical methods, like the negative binomial model. Although it is common knowledge that some specific species in an ecological community present aggregate distributions, this does

Comparison of Conservation Strategies for California Channel Island Oak (Quercus tomentella) Using Climate Suitability Predicted From Genomic Data

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Management strategies, such as assisted gene flow, can increase resilience to climate change in tree populations. Knowledge of evolutionary history and genetic structure of species are needed to assess the risks and benefits of different strategies.
