ABSTRACT Urban heat during summer has recently become a serious issue. Although urban trees have a cooling effect, this effect must be evaluated quantitatively for effective landscape and streetscape design. However, models capable of predicting hourly changes in typical tree transpiration under summer conditions at the whole‐tree scale rather than the

Street‐side trees control pavement wetness in a moist‐temperate region with cold winters
Abstract Urban tree canopies intercept rain and snowfall, potentially extending the service life of asphalt pavement below them. However, the process of pavement wetting has not been quantified and controlling factors are poorly understood. In this study, we document four forms of pavement moisture and experimentally test the role of trees in ...

Biotic and abiotic factors associated with genome size evolution in oaks
Abstract The evolutionary processes that underlie variation in plant genome size have been much debated. Abiotic factors are thought to have played an important role, with negative and positive correlations between genome size and seasonal or stressful climatic conditions being reported in several systems.

Evaluating deterrents to reduce depredation of wood duck eggs in nest boxes
Rat snakes and woodpeckers were the main predators of wood duck eggs observed during our study. A commercially available snake repellent was not effective in deterring rat snakes entering nest boxes. Alternatively, a raptor decoy was effective in deterring woodpeckers and increased wood duck nest success when the decoy was present. Abstract Wood ducks (

Not all sanctuaries are created equal: variation in protected area selection by wintering mallards
Public lands managed for wildlife frequently provide various forms of designated sanctuary to increase residency times and allow access to energetic and other habitat resources for waterfowl; however, the influence of sanctuary type and disturbance regime on resource use and fine‐scale movements of waterfowl has not been investigated extensively using ...

Preservation influences what can be measured within the fossil record, but modern methods are also not compatible with paleobotanical methods.
