Small mammal responses to fire severity mediated by vegetation characteristics and species traits
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The frequency of large, high‐severity “mega‐fires” has increased in recent decades, with numerous consequences for forest ecosystems. In particular, small mammal communities are vulnerable to post‐fire shifts in resource availability and play critical ...

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionEcological dipoles are the opposite patterns in animal and plant population indices over time in geographically distant areas. Ecological dipoles are recently described macroscale patterns in animal and plant population dynamics, and have been uncovered ...

Is small mammal mycophagy relevant for truffle cultivation?
Acta Mycologica, 2013 The role of small mammal mycophagy as vectors of hypogeous fungi is well established. However, little is known about dispersal of gourmet truffle species by mammal vectors, or about the potential role of mycophagy in truffle plantations.

Mesocarnivore Distribution along Gradients of Anthropogenic Disturbance in Mediterranean Landscapes
Diversity, 2022 Wildfires are important sources of landscape change in Mediterranean environments, creating large patches of low-growth natural habitats (i.e., scrublands) inside protected areas, whereas woodland patches remain mostly near well protected human ...
