Journal ArticleDOI
Of Mice and Mast Ecological connections in eastern deciduous forests
TL;DR: The role of predation or competition in structuring ecological communities, typically a predator or competitor is removed, and the responses of prey or other competitors are monitored, reveal the importance of direct effects in ecological communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population Fluctuations of Mast-Eating Rodents Are Correlated with Production of Acorns
TL;DR: A 14-year dataset on dynamics of mast-consuming rodents from an eastern deciduous forest was used to determine the relationship between population fluctuations of white-footed mice, deer mice, and eastern chipmunks and production of mast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promiscuous females protect their offspring
