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

Wildlife 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.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Transcriptome analysis and annotation: SNPs identified from single copy annotated unigenes of three polyploid blueberry crops.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Blueberry is a kind of new rising popular perennial fruit with high healthful quality. It is of utmost importance to develop new blueberry varieties for different climatic zones to satisfy the demand of people in the world.

GENETIC LINKAGE MAP FOR BLUEBERRY (VACCINIUM spp.) USING RAPD MARKERS

HortScience, 1993
A genetic linkage map for blueberry has been constructed from over 60 RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers that segregated 1:1 in a testcross population of about 40 plants. Prior to map construction, polymerase chain reaction conditions were optimized and RAPD marker reliability was confirmed.

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development

Boreas, EarlyView.
Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...

Do camera light traps for moths provide similar data as conventional funnel light traps?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We recorded moths using a traditional collection method (funnel light traps, FLTs) and compared them with records made using automated camera light traps (CLTs). In direct comparison, the recorded moth species richness was similar, but the CLTs were able to leverage their advantages over longer periods of time and recorded more species.

SURVEY OF BLUEBERRY (VACCINIUM SPP.) PROBLEMS IN THE GULF SOUTH

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
The blueberry (Vaccinium) industry in Mississippi has been steadily increasing since the early 1980s, but some plants in older fields are now in decline. The root rot pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi, is endemic in the southeastern United States and has caused severe losses to blueberries in North Carolina and Arkansas.
