Plant thresholds and community composition of coastal marsh–forest ecotones in the US Northeast

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Sea level rise is causing coastal salt marshes to migrate upslope into coastal forests and other terrestrial ecosystems. The factors that control marsh migration rates are not well understood, particularly in the US Northeast, where this phenomenon has received little attention. To determine the relationship between environmental variables and

Eastern North American Liana Distributions Reveal Conservation and Climate Mitigation Potential

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We created the first high‐resolution distribution maps for lianas at a continental scale to address critical knowledge gaps in invasive species management, forest carbon storage, and temperate forest ecology. Location The Nearctic realm and Eastern North America. Methods We developed a cascading modelling approach using Google Earth Engine

Evaluating potential altered harvest and predator management strategies to increase white‐tailed deer population growth in the Southeastern United States

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
In some portions of the southeastern United States where white‐tailed deer populations are declining, alteration of adult female harvest levels and the availability of alternative foods for coyotes can help increase population growth. Abstract White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations in the southeastern United States have declined from ...

Combined volunteer and ecological network observations show broad‐scale temperature‐sensitivity patterns for deciduous plant flowering and leaf‐out times across the eastern USA

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Phenological ‘big data’ encompassing over 100 species across the eastern USA show that leaf‐out and flowering occur earlier with warmer temperatures and that native species and individuals at high latitudes tend to have weaker temperature sensitivities than introduced species and more southern plants; these findings suggest adaptations within and ...

Riparian Vegetation and Arthropod Responses to Dam Removal and Habitat Restoration Along the Kalamazoo River, Michigan, USA

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2017-2031, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Riparian ecosystems harbor diverse biota and provide numerous services to rivers including mitigating sediment run‐off, regulating temperature, and contributing food‐web subsidies. Dams are a major threat to riparian communities, but dam removal and riparian restoration efforts have the potential to restore these communities and the services ...

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database – Systematic literature search up to 31 December 2024

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This scientific report provides an update of the Xylella spp. host plant database, aiming to provide information and scientific support to risk assessors, risk managers and researchers dealing with Xylella spp. Upon a mandate of the European Commission, EFSA created and regularly updates a database of host plant species of Xylella spp.

First Report of Seedling Blight of Eastern Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) by Colletotrichum fioriniae in Virginia

Plant Disease, 2014
Colletotrichum fioriniae is a member of the large cosmopolitan C. acutatum species complex (2). Known agricultural hosts of C. acutatum include apple, European blueberry, grape, olive, papaya, and strawberry (2). In contrast, the life history of C. fioriniae ranges from an epizootic of certain scale insect populations to an endophyte of plants (3,4 ...

Responses of a large herbivore to predation risk are modulated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Prey species can perceive and respond to spatiotemporal variation in predation risk to increase survival. In addition to adjusting spatial and temporal activity patterns to avoid predation, prey employ other antipredator behaviors, such as vigilance and fleeing, and these behaviors can be further modulated by intrinsic, environmental, and ...

Hydrologic Restoration of Retired Cranberry Farms Leads to Species Rich Wetlands

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 2, April/June 2025.
Hydrologic restoration of former cranberry farms built on riparian wetlands resulted in increased plant species richness. Viable seeds primarily germinated from sand placed during cultivation, and the seed bank was not predictive of post‐restoration biodiversity. High diversity of wetland species in the restored wetlands shows the potential of restored
