TL;DR: It is found that although both forest and snow cover contributed to the historical range boundary, the current duration of snow cover best explains the most recent northward shift, while forest cover has declined in relative importance.

TL;DR: A generalizable framework for evaluating data quality and identifying remediation practices is presented, and the framework is demonstrated using trail camera images classified using crowdsourcing to determine acceptable rates of misclassification and identify optimal remediation strategies for analysis using occupancy models.

TL;DR: Results indicate that, although the SMC composition was affected by forest harvesting practices incorporating live and dead biological legacies, supplementing the number of standing dead trees through girdling and felling maintained SMC function, as measured through total soil respiration, an indicator of some important aspects of ecosystem function.

TL;DR: A rational decision-making framework was utilized and problematized to characterize adaptation at the level of public land managers in the Upper Midwest and cross-scale dynamics emerged as an important theme related to the overall adaptation process.

TL;DR: The results suggested that when a careful review of cause-specific mortality is considered for each deer, and presumed capture-related mortalities are removed from the sample, a 2-week truncation period is unnecessary.
