Stand Dynamics and Disturbance History of Champlain Valley Clayplain Forests [PDF]
Studies of stand dynamics can explain how species interactions and disturbances drive forest structure and recruitment patterns of tree species. It is difficult to generate an understanding of stand dynamics and successional trends of forests in areas ...

A connectivity‐based algorithm for wood–leaf separation from terrestrial laser scanning data
Abstract Tree architecture, characterized by the three‐dimensional (3D) arrangement of branches, plays a critical role in regulating key ecological functions such as light interception, resource transport and structural stability. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has emerged as a powerful tool for capturing detailed and accurate structural information ...

Urbanization of seed dispersal networks
Abstract Rapid urban expansion is affecting the composition of wild communities and creating novel ecosystems worldwide. Seed dispersal is key for ecosystem persistence, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, generalizations regarding the impacts of urbanization are still difficult due to the lack of studies encompassing the urban matrix.

Inhabiting warm microhabitats and risk-spreading as strategies for survival of a phytophagous insect living in common pastures in the Pyrenees [PDF]
[EN] The breakdown of the transhumant grazing system in the Spanish Pyrenees has led to a severe decline in the area of pastures. However, in the high mountain zone there are still large areas of species-rich grasslands.

Fences are widely used to restrict or reduce grazing pressure on endangered plant species or communities, and to ultimately ensure their viability. Here, we evaluate what factors determine their effectiveness at a regional scale by assessing ungulate detection (presence/absence) within exclosures and discuss its ecological and conservation implications.
