Prescribed Fire Effects on Dalmation Toadflax

Journal of Range Management, 2003
Prescribed fires are important for rangeland restoration and affect plant community composition and species interactions. Many rangeland plant communities have been, or are under the threat of noxious weed invasion, however there is little information on how fire effects weeds.

Pyric‐carnivory: Raptor use of prescribed fires [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractFire is a process that shaped and maintained most terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Changes in land use and patterns of human settlement have altered fire regimes and led to fire suppression resulting in numerous undesirable consequences spanning individual species and entire ecosystems.

Selective Control of Rangeland Grasshoppers with Prescribed Fire [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2004
Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are considered among the most damaging rangeland pests, but are necessary for the survival of many wildlife species. Most grasshoppers species are innocuous, but control with insecticides is non-discriminatory among species.

Engineering Neuronal Network Connectivity Through Precise and Scalable Electrical Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a scalable all‐electrical method for precise neuronal‐circuit reconfiguration based on high‐density microelectrode arrays. By employing biologically inspired plasticity rules, targeted connectivity changes were successfully induced and quantified across diverse neuronal preparations.
