Heterogeneity in Primary Productivity Influences Competitive Interactions between Red Deer and Alpine Chamois. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Habitat heterogeneity can promote coexistence between herbivores of different body size limited to different extents by resource quantity and quality. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are known as superior competitors to smaller species with similar diets.

Habitat connectivity for endangered Indochinese tigers in Thailand
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Habitat connectivity is crucial for the conservation of species restricted to fragmented populations within human-dominated landscapes. However, identifying habitat connectivity for apex predators is challenging because trophic interactions between ...

TURKEY PRODUCTIVITY AND HABITAT USE ON SOUTH TEXAS RANGELANDS1
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1980 Productivity and habitat use of Rio Grande turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) were evaluated from May 1976 through November 1977 on the Welder Wildlife Refuge and the Rooke Ranch near Sinton, Texas. Turkey productivity ranged from 0.5 poults:hen in

Prioritizing Sites for Protection and Restoration for Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) in Southwestern Alberta, Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 As the influence of human activities on natural systems continues to expand, there is a growing need to prioritize not only pristine sites for protection, but also degraded sites for restoration.

BROODING OVER BROODS: REGIONAL IMPACTS OF HABITAT QUALITY ON WILD TURKEY PRODUCTIVITY
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) populations appear to be declining across much of their range. We anticipated that a key driver of this decline may be reduced reproductive success, which may be influenced by weather and habitat ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study employs a spouse‐pair cohort design and an idopNetwork model that integrates evolutionary game theory, predator‐prey dynamics, and developmental modularity theory to reconstruct maximally informative microbial interaction networks. This approach reveals how interspecies interactions drive the phenotypic plasticity of the gut microbiota in ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between participation in the EU Rural Development Program and the economic performance of Italian olive farms using a finite‐mixture model with inverse‐probability‐weighted regression adjustment. Based on 2010–2022 FADN panel data, it estimates heterogeneous treatment effects while correcting for selection ...
