Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Predicting Occupancy of Wintering Migratory Birds: Is Microhabitat Information Necessary? [PDF]
, 2012 Information regarding microhabitat, here defined as small-scale vegetation structure, is often useful in predicting use of habitat by birds. Quantifying microhabitat, however, is expensive and labor intensive compared to assessment of habitat at a larger

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how climate and vegetation structural complexity jointly shape fungal communities is essential for effective roadside slope restoration. To address this, we examined restoration effects on fungal diversity, community composition, and ecological networks across three climatically distinct regions: dry‐hot valley, subalpine, and ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Microhabitat segregation in mimetic ithomiine butterflies
, 2008 Lowland neotropical butterfly faunas exhibit many “mimicry rings”, in which species from many genera and families share a similar aposematic color pattern.

Oikos, EarlyView.The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.
