How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Undoing composition? [PDF]

, 2012
This piece is a contribution to a symposium on the relationship of literacy studies to composition studies. Three central foci of literacy studies have direct implications for composition studies: the shift from canonical to everyday texts, practices and

Prescribed Fire Mitigates Climate‐Driven Aboveground Carbon Losses From Wildfire in High Elevation Ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Extreme wildfires are becoming more common in California's Sierra Nevada, increasing the need for fuel management to protect ecosystem services such as carbon storage. Because mechanical treatments can be costly or inaccessible in steep or remote terrain, prescribed fire, particularly broadcast burning, provides a cost‐effective strategy for ...

Multi-scale controls on natural regeneration dynamics after partial overstory removal in Douglas-fir forests in western Oregon, USA [PDF]

We examined natural regeneration following operational-scale variable density retention treatments in 40-60 year old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) forests at seven sites for a decade following treatment.

Prioritizing site groups for intrinsic biodiversity assets using complementarity and not just rarity

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Conservation practitioners rightfully focus on at‐risk species when valuing biodiversity assets and prioritizing spatial units. We compared and combined numbers of at‐risk species with four other community metrics using surveys of vascular plants at wetlands in a preserve network in Illinois, USA.

A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Structural attributes of stand overstory and light under the canopy

Annals of Silvicultural Research, 2015
 This paper reviews the literature relating to the relationship between light availability in the understory and the main qualitative and quantitative attributes of stand overstory usually considered in forest management and planning (species composition,

Pyrodiversity and Phylodiversity: Insights on Post‐Fire Forest Communities

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 10, October 2026.
Phylogenetic and taxonomic metrics can be useful ways to explore how the reintroduction of fire influences plant community assembly and diversity patterns. We leveraged a dataset of plant community samples collected before and after three fire events, pairing them with the first application of spatial phylogenetic methods at local spatiotemporal scales.
