Understanding Human-Coyote Encounters in Urban Ecosystems Using Citizen Science Data: What Do Socioeconomics Tell Us?
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, 55(1), 159–170.
author keywords: Autologistic regression; Crowdsourcing; Human-wildlife conflict; Invasion; Multimodel inference; Species distribution model; Urban wildlife
MeSH headings : Animals; Cities / economics; Coyotes / physiology; Ecosystem; Human Activities / economics; Human Activities / psychology; Humans; North Carolina; Socioeconomic Factors
TL;DR:
The results indicate that the consideration of readily available socioeconomic variables in the analysis of citizen science data improves the prediction of species distributions by providing insight into the effects of important factors for which data are often lacking, such as resource availability for coyotes on private property and observer experience.

Spread of an introduced parasite across the Hawaiian archipelago independent of its introduced host
FRESHWATER BIOLOGY, 60(2), 311–322.
author keywords: Awaous stamineus; biological invasions; enemy addition; parasite; Camallanus cotti
TL;DR:
It is shown that the effects of ‘enemy addition’ can extend beyond the range of non-native hosts through the independent spread ofNon-native parasites, suggesting that control of non -native hosts is not sufficient to halt the spread of introduced parasites.

Partially supervised spatiotemporal clustering for burglary crime series identification
JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY SERIES A-STATISTICS IN SOCIETY, 178(2), 465–480.
author keywords: Bayesian hierarchical model; Crime linkage; Markov chain Monte Carlo methods; Model-based clustering
TL;DR:
This work proposes a Bayesian model‐based clustering approach for criminal events that utilizes spatiotemporal crime locations as well as crime features describing the offender's modus operandi, and produces posterior clustering probabilities which allow analysts to act on model output only as warranted.

Detecting understory plant invasion in urban forests using LiDAR
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED EARTH OBSERVATION AND GEOINFORMATION, 38, 267–279.
author keywords: Biological invasion; Chinese privet; Data integration; IKONOS; LiDAR; Ligustrum sinense; Random forest
TL;DR:
The results demonstrate the superiority of LiDAR-derived metrics over spectral data and fusion ofLiDAR and spectral data for accurately mapping the spatial distribution of the forest understory invader L. sinense across the authors' country-wide study extent.

Predicting fine-scale distributions of peripheral aquatic species in headwater streams
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 5(1), 152–163.
author keywords: Conservation planning; habitat modeling; headwater streams; landscape variables; peripheral populations; species distributions; topographic gradient; wild trout
TL;DR:
It appears that a relative watershed position metric (e.g., stream order) is an important surrogate variable for biotic interactions across the landscape in areas where headwater species distributions are influenced by topographical gradients.

Habitat and species identity, not diversity, predict the extent of refuse consumption by urban arthropods
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(3), 1103–1115.
author keywords: ants; arthropods; biodiversity; ecosystem service; hurricane; urban food waste; urbanization
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods / physiology; Biodiversity; Cities; Ecosystem; Feeding Behavior; Food Chain; New York City; Solid Waste / analysis; Species Specificity; Vertebrates / physiology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that species identity and habitat may be more relevant than diversity for predicting urban ecosystem services, even small green spaces such as street medians that may complement those of larger habitat patches across the urban landscape.

Do cities simulate climate change? A comparison of herbivore response to urban and global warming
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(1), 97–105.
author keywords: Acer rubrum; climate change; global warming; herbivory; historical comparison; Melanaspis tenebricosa; urban ecosystem; urban warming
MeSH headings : Acer / parasitology; Animals; Cities; Climate Change / history; Hemiptera / physiology; Herbivory / physiology; History, 19th Century; History, 20th Century; Population Density; Southeastern United States; Temperature; Trees / parasitology; Urbanization
TL;DR:
Scale insects reached their highest densities in the city, but abundance peaked at similar temperatures in urban and historical datasets and tracked temperature on a decadal scale, suggesting cities may be an appropriate but underused system for developing and testing hypotheses about biological effects of climate change.

Modeling climate change, urbanization, and fire effects on Pinus palustris ecosystems of the southeastern US
JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, 151, 186–199.
author keywords: Climate-resilient; Conservation; Open-canopy longleaf; State-and-transition simulation model; Urban growth
MeSH headings : Climate Change; Ecosystem; Fires; Models, Biological; Pinus / physiology; Southeastern United States; Urbanization
TL;DR:
This work uses scenarios of climate change, urbanization and management to simulate the future dynamics of the critically endangered and fire-dependent longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem and finds that both conservation goals are only attainable if a greater focus is placed on restoration of non-longleaf areas as opposed to maintaining existing longleaf stands.
