Re-surveying breeding forest bird communities in Western Oregon after 50 years: comparing 1968–1970 and 2020–2021
Accurate assessments of changes in breeding bird populations require regular, structured surveys or, alternatively, carefully documented benchmarks that can be precisely repeated.…
Soil mite (Acari: Oribatida) communities in the limestone quarry of Saskhori (Gerogia)
Abstract The present publication provides a review of the soil mite (Acari; Oribatida) community’s structure and the connection between changes in environmental fac…
Back to the wild: Post-translocation GPS monitoring of a rehabilitated ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in a forest-agricult…
The sparsity of post-translocation monitoring data for rehabilitated felids leaves a pressing gap in our current understanding of their integration into and use of novel landscape…
Human-wildlife conflicts and drought in the greater Calakmul Region, Mexico: implications for tapir conservation
Wildlife conservation efforts in the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor have focused on reducing negative interactions between humans and charismatic species. In recent years, droug…
Integrating herbarium data with spatial biodiversity assessment into conservation plans: A case study of the genus Care…
Sedge (Carex L.) is the largest genus of vascular plants in Saskatchewan, Canada, where it is represented by 105 species. The aim of this study was to develop an effective procedu…
Invaders break assembly rules to beat the natives: how cheatgrass cheats
Understanding how some introduced plants achieve invasive status while most simply become naturalized is a fundamental question in invasion ecology. Traditional approaches compari…
Effects of earthworm invasion on soil properties and plant diversity after two years of field experiment
Although belowground invasive species are probably equally widespread and as important as their aboveground counterparts, they remain understudied, and their impacts are likely to…
Proximity to forest plantations is associated with presence and abundance of invasive plants in landscapes of south-cen…
Invasive plant species (IPs) are widespread in forests and cause substantial environmental, economic and social impacts. They occupy native ecological niches, causing local extinc…
Changes in the functional and phylogenetic diversity of above- and below-ground plant communities invaded by two alien…
Introduced plants can have long-lasting and irreversible effects on the communities and ecosystems they invade. A critical step towards understanding the legacy of plant introduct…
Ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Hanford Nuclear Site in south-central Washington State
In this paper we report on ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) collected from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and Hanford National Monument (together the Hanford Site), which i…
Trachymolgus purpureus sp. n., an armored snout mite (Acari, Bdellidae) from the Ozark highlands: morphology, developme…
Trachymolgus purpureus Fisher & Dowling sp. n. is described from the Ozark highlands of North America. A diversity of imaging techniques are used to illustrate the species includi…
A re-survey in 2019-2021 of winter bird communities in the Oregon Coast Range, USA, initially surveyed in 1968-1970
Long-term changes in bird populations during winter are poorly evaluated in many parts of the world. We re-surveyed forest bird communities during winter, 2019-2021, in seven larg…
Effects of a recalcitrant understory fern layer in an enclosed tropical restoration experiment
Establishing mixed-species tree plantings and fencing them to protect seedlings from herbivory is a valuable strategy for reconnecting forest fragments separated by agropastoral l…
The dark side of facilitation: native shrubs facilitate exotic annuals more strongly than native annuals
Positive interactions enhance biodiversity and ecosystem function, but can also exacerbate biological invasions. Facilitation of exotic invaders by exotic foundation species (inva…
Importance of soil and plant community disturbance for establishment of Bromus tectorum in the Intermountain West, USA
The annual grass Bromus tectorum has invaded millions of hectares in western North America and has transformed former perennial grass and shrub-dominated communities into annual g…
Distribution and abundance of exotic earthworms within a boreal forest system in southcentral Alaska
Little is known about exotic earthworms (Oligochaeta: Lumbricidae) in Alaska outside its southeastern panhandle. This study documents the distribution of exotic earthworms in the …
Vegetation and fire in lowland dry forest at Wa’ahila Ridge on O’ahu, Hawai’i
Long-term ecological studies are critical for providing key insights in ecology, environmental change, natural resource management and biodiversity conservation. However, island f…
The rediscovery of the Great Winterberg endemic Lotononis harveyi B.–E.van Wyk after 147 years, and notes on the poorly…
South Africa’s 800 km-long southern Great Escarpment hosts numerous endemic plant species only known from their type specimens or from very few records. This is a legacy of a 100–…
Adiantum shastense, a new species of maidenhair fern from California
A new species of Adiantum is described from California. This species is endemic to northern California and is currently known only from Shasta County. We describe its discovery af…
Lucky morning glory, Calystegia felix (Convolvulaceae): a new species from Southern California, with notes on the histo…
A new morning glory, Calystegia felix Provance & A.C. Sanders sp. nov. (Convolvulaceae), is described from the Los Angeles, San Gabriel, and Santa Ana River basins. Historical col…
Effects of grazing pressure on plant species composition and water presence on bofedales in the Andes mountain range of…
Bofedales are high-Andean peatland plant communities with high capacity for water retention, which are regarded as oases of biodiversity. These areas have great social and economi…
Short-Term Effects of Pack Animal Grazing Exclusion from Andean Alpine Meadows
Grazing by livestock can have positive, neutral, and/or negative effects on vegetation depending on the intensity and type of grazing. This includes grazing by pack animals used f…
