A comprehensive checklist of Mediterranean wild edible plants: Diversity, traditional uses, and knowledge gaps

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The use of wild edible plants and the traditional knowledge associated with them are rapidly disappearing across the Mediterranean, with serious consequences for biodiversity, cultural heritage, and regional food security. This study compiles and organizes fragmented information to create the first comprehensive catalogue of these plants across the ...

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Dispersal and establishment both limit colonization during primary succession on a glacier foreland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Plant colonization can be limited by lack of seeds or by factors that reduce establishment. The role of seed limitation in community assembly is being increasingly recognized, but in early primary succession, establishment failure is still considered ...

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

Neutral effects of low‐intensity dog training on northern bobwhite vital rates

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Indirect effects of hunting can lead to changes in population dynamics, which can be caused by trait‐mediated effects such as, but not limited to, changes in behavior, reproduction, and physiological responses. Our understanding of the effects of activities associated with hunting such as dog training may incur trait‐mediated effects, and ultimately ...

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium
