Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological resistance surfaces predict fine-scale genetic differentiation in a terrestrial woodland salamander.
TL;DR: This study determines the landscape and ecological factors affecting gene flow in the western slimy salamander and demonstrates that composite representations of ecologically explicit processes can provide novel insight and can better explain genetic differentiation than ecologically implicit landscape resistance surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Losing a jewel-Rapid declines in Myanmar's intact forests from 2002-2014.
Tejas Bhagwat,A. Hess,Ned Horning,Thiri Khaing,Zaw Min Thein,Kyaw Moe Aung,Kyaw Htet Aung,Paing Phyo,Ye Lin Tun,Aung Htat Oo,Anthony Neil,Win Myo Thu,Melissa Songer,Katherine J. LaJeunesse Connette,Asja Bernd,Qiongyu Huang,Grant M. Connette,Peter Leimgruber +17 more
TL;DR: It is found that forests cover 42,365,729 ha or 63% of Myanmar, making it one of the most forested countries in the region, but severe logging, expanding plantations, and degradation pose increasing threats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined Landsat and L-Band SAR Data Improves Land Cover Classification and Change Detection in Dynamic Tropical Landscapes
TL;DR: Analysis of combined Landsat and L-band SAR data provides an improved understanding of the associated drivers of agricultural plantation expansion and the dynamics of land use/cover change in tropical forest landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Political transition and emergent forest-conservation issues in Myanmar.

TL;DR: A horizon-scanning approach was used to assess the 40 emerging issues most affecting Myanmar's forests, including internal conflict, land-tenure insecurity, large-scale agricultural development, demise of state timber enterprises, shortfalls in government revenue and capacity, and opening of new deforestation frontiers with new roads, mines, and hydroelectric dams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and shrinking salamanders: alternative mechanisms for changes in plethodontid salamander body size.
TL;DR: It is found that mean adult body size of salamanders can be highly sensitive to survey conditions, particularly rainfall, and considerable variability in body size distributions among years is identified.
