Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 12, Page 2568-2582, December 2023., 2023 With strikingly consistent patterns across three tropical forests, the authors find strong evidence for the promise of functional traits to provide mechanistic links between seedling form and demographic performance. Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that promote the coexistence of hundreds of species over small areas in tropical forest remains a ...

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 907-918, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Research documenting differences in mortality risk across the life course between veterans and nonveterans has not accounted for combat status. To address this gap in the literature, the current study examined differences in long‐term mortality among midlife and older‐adult male nonveterans, noncombat veterans, and combat veterans.

Factors affecting the recovery of Mexican wolves in the Southwest United States
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 10, Page 2199-2209, October 2023., 2023 Using management removal to reduce human–carnivore conflict can have negative population impacts if not used judiciously. Recovering and maintaining carnivore populations in shared landscapes may require greater tolerance of conflict and more emphasis on effective conflict prevention strategies and compensation programs for affected stakeholders ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Fisheries bycatch is a critical threat to sea turtle populations worldwide, particularly because turtles are vulnerable to multiple gear types. The Canary Current is an intensely fished region, yet there has been no demographic assessment integrating bycatch and population management information of the globally significant Cabo Verde ...

Smaller size of harlequin toads from populations long exposed to the fungal disease chytridiomycosis
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 699-705, May 2023., 2023 Pathogens can exert selective pressures on the scheduling of reproduction. The smaller size of harlequin toads from populations long exposed to the lethal fungal disease chytridiomycosis suggests that toads from post‐epidemic populations are breeding earlier.

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Invasive species can dramatically alter ecosystems, but eradication is difficult, and suppression is expensive once they are established. Uncertainties in the potential for expansion and impacts by an invader can lead to delayed and inadequate suppression, allowing for establishment.

Mitigating the effects of climate change on the nests of sea turtles with artificial irrigation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract For sea turtles, like many oviparous species, increasing temperatures during development threaten to increase embryonic mortality, alter offspring quality, and potentially create suboptimal primary sex ratios. Various methods are being implemented to mitigate the effects of climate change on reproductive success, but these methods, such as ...

Journal of Social Issues, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 900-923, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic impacted people's lives all over the world, requiring health and safety measures intended to stop the virus from spreading. This study explores whether an unintended consequence of these measures is a new form of ageism. We explore, using qualitative methods, the experiences of older adults living through the pandemic in ...
