Do Giant Sequoias Regenerate in Large Crown Fire Patches?
While it is widely recognized that giant sequoias are serotinous and reproduction is positively associated with high‐severity fire, land managers hypothesize that giant sequoias cannot effectively reproduce in large crown fire patches. We investigated this issue in two large high‐severity fire patches, dominated primarily by crown fire, in Redwood ...

Ecological integrity of boreal streams [PDF]
Running waters provide a number of services for humans, such as drinking water and food resources and many freshwater animals are confined and specialised to this environment.

Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Phenotypic Plasticity Across Gradients of Predation and Competition in Larval Amphibians
Many taxa encounter a wide range of conditions for any particular environmental variable and they experience variation in multiple environmental variables simultaneously, which may have interactive effects if different environmental types induce opposing phenotypes.

We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Validating COI eDNA Metabarcoding Primers for Detection of Subterranean Fauna
ABSTRACT Subterranean ecosystems host a diverse range of ancient fauna, but studying these ecosystems is challenging due to significant sampling difficulties. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding offers a promising approach for monitoring subterranean biodiversity, yet issues such as primer bias and non‐target amplification can complicate its ...

The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...
