Stand-level drivers of tree-species diversification in Mediterranean pine forests after abandonment of traditional practices [PDF]

, 2015
The progressive abandonment of traditional forest management over the last few decades has led to significant densification processes in most Mediterranean pine stands.

Anthropogenic disturbance and trophic interactions mediate population viability of American martens

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We present a simulation model of the probability of collapse to <10% of carrying capacity for American marten populations over a 50‐year time frame in relation to forest disturbance due to commercial harvesting and fur‐trapping levels. Probability of collapse differed between models that assumed no effect of logging (solid line), martens living in a ...

Predicting woodpecker damage in utility infrastructure in the southeastern United States using species distribution modeling

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Predicting areas of wildlife damage can reduce long‐term costs. We developed and tested models of the geographic distribution of damage by woodpeckers to utility infrastructure and delineated areas of greater importance. Abstract Predicting areas of wildlife damage to human development has the potential to reduce long‐term costs associated with ...

Local scale variations in soil organic carbon sequestration in Lesser Himalayan coniferous and mixed forests: implications for sustainability

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Soil carbon sequestration is a fundamental mechanism for mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Soils can store more carbon than both vegetation and the atmosphere combined.

Phylogeny and taxonomy of the Ophiostoma piceae complex and the Dutch elm disease fungi [PDF]

, 2001
The Ophiostoma piceae complex forms a monophyletic group of insect-dispersed pyrenomycetes with synnemata (Pesotum) and micronematous (Sporothrix) synanamorphs. Other species of Ophios-toma outside of the O.

Nutritional and reproductive dynamics of moose near their southern range limit

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Though southern moose (Alces alces) had relatively low seasonal fluctuations in body fat, their condition was positively associated with pregnancy and adult survival but did not influence recruitment of young. We demonstrated clear signs of nutritional limitation and unexpected patterns of reproductive performance that may be unique to moose living at ...

Phylogenomics of palynophagous pine cone weevils (Coleoptera: Cimberididae) recovers the monophyly of Cimberidini and Doydirhynchini and reveals the paraphyly of Cimberis

European Journal of Entomology
The beetle family Cimberididae (pine cone weevils) consists of one extant subfamily, Cimberidinae, and two tribes, Cimberidini and Doydirhynchini, both limited in distribution to the Northern Hemisphere. Cimberidini comprise the genera Acromacer Kuschel,

Do the arthropod communities on a parasitic plant and its hosts differ?

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Parasitic plants growing on tree branches may be a novel niche and phytoresource for arthropods. The spatial continuity between hosts and their parasites in canopies might provide a homogeneous environment for arthropod communities, but differences in ...
