Opportunities, research gaps, and risks in allogenic ecosystem engineer mimicry

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In an age of anthropogenically driven species loss and increasingly novel ecosystems, ecosystem engineer restoration is a process‐based approach to supporting ecosystem function. Many ecosystem engineers have low or declining population sizes.

Impact of light intensity on sugar maple leaf physical traits and consequences for caterpillar preference and performance

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of light intensity on sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf traits and interactions with insect herbivores. Leaves from sunlit saplings were thicker with lower specific leaf area, while caterpillar feeding preference and performance differed between species.

The role of larval density and food availability in life‐history traits of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated the effects of competition (food availability and larval density) on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) mortality and development. Food had a more pronounced effect on mortality and development time than density, but density had a higher impact on adult size and lifespan.
