Short-term response of small mammals following oak regeneration silviculture treatments
Amy L. Raybuck,Christopher E. Moorman,Cathryn H. Greenberg,Christopher S. DePerno,Kevin Gross,Dean M. Simon,Gordon S. Warburton +6 more
TL;DR: This research indicates that, in the short-term, small mammals can tolerate a wide range of forest disturbance following oak regeneration treatments, but delayed treatment effects or additive changes following future treatments may compound effects on small mammal populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating fluctuating vital rates from time-series data: a case study of aphid biocontrol
TL;DR: It is found that, while parasitism depresses aphid population growth rate substantially, declines in aphidpopulation growth rates do not coincide with increases in parasitism, therefore, parasitism cannot be responsible for the density-dependent regulation of aphid populations observed in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls over native perennial grass exclusion and persistence in California grasslands invaded by annuals
TL;DR: This work used a two-species discrete time population growth model to predict the outcome of competition between exotic annual and native perennial grasses in California, and to determine the demographic traits responsible for the outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient data collection for estimating growth rates of structured populations
TL;DR: In this article, an allocation of tags among stages that provides a more precise estimate of the estimated population multiplication rate than tagging individuals randomly is presented, and the authors demonstrate that stratified sampling based on this efficient sample composition can result in sizable increases in the precision of λ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drivers of elevational richness peaks, evaluated for trees in the east Himalaya.
TL;DR: It is considered that AET declines with elevation, but an abrupt change in the association of AET with geographical distance into the plains means that the location of highest AET, at the base of the mountain, receives range overlaps from fewer species than the location just above the base.
