Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental manipulation of seed shadows of an Afrotropical tree determines drivers of recruitment
John R. Poulsen,John R. Poulsen,Connie J. Clark,Connie J. Clark,Benjamin M. Bolker,Benjamin M. Bolker +5 more
TL;DR: No conclusive evidence that patterns of seed dispersal influence the diversity of the seedling community is found, although community seedling diversity tended to decrease with longer dispersal distances, which does affect seedling recruitment and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceleration of plague outbreaks in the second pandemic.
TL;DR: Order-of-magnitude estimates of epidemic parameters suggest that the observed slow growth rates in the 14th century are inconsistent with direct (pneumonic) transmission, and the potential roles of demographic and ecological factors, such as climate change or human or rat population density, in driving the observed acceleration.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of the generation interval in investigating dynamics and control of new SARS-CoV-2 variants
Sang Woo Park,Benjamin M. Bolker,Sebastian Funk,C. Jessica E. Metcalf,Joshua S. Weitz,Bryan T. Grenfell,Jonathan Dushoff +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the relative strength and speed of new SARS-CoV-2 variants are analyzed under two idealized interventions: a constant-strength intervention like idealized vaccination or social distancing, which reduces transmission rates by a constant proportion, and a constant speed intervention like Idealized contact tracing, which isolates infected individuals at a constant rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactive effects of tree size, crown exposure and logging on drought-induced mortality.
Alexander Shenkin,Benjamin M. Bolker,Marielos Peña-Claros,Juan Carlos Licona,Nataly Ascarrunz,Francis E. Putz +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that, at the scale of a site, hydraulic factors related to tree height, not air humidity, are a cause of elevated drought-induced mortality of large trees in unlogged plots.
