2002 journal article

Direct and ecological costs of resistance to herbivory

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 17(6), 278–285.

TL;DR: It is found that many more studies have documented costs of resistance (sensu lato) than found during the 1996 survey and that eighty-two percent of studies in which genetic background is controlled, demonstrate significant fitness reductions associated with herbivore resistance.

By: R. Irwin* & J. Maloof*

TL;DR: Variation in the interactions between a nectar-robbing bumblebee and its host plants may have important consequences with respect to the population dynamics of host plants as well as selection on floral and flowering traits. (via Semantic Scholar)

What is missing in amphibian decline research: Insights from ecological sensitivity analysis

CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 16(3), 728–734.

By: R. Biek*, W. Funk*, B. Maxell* & L. Mills*

TL;DR: Ecological sensitivity analysis should be more widely applied to the issue of amphibian declines in order to identify the most plausible mechanisms of decline and prioritize which life‐history stages should be the focus of research and management efforts. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: J. Reed*, L. Mills*, J. Dunning*, E. Menges*, K. McKelvey*, R. Frye*, . Beissinger*, M. Anstett*, P. Miller*

TL;DR: It is concluded that PVA is a powerful tool in conservation biology for comparing alternative research plans and relative extinction risks among species, but caution is suggested in its use. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

DNA reveals high dispersal synchronizing the population dynamics of Canada lynx

NATURE, 415(6871), 520–522.

By: M. Schwartz*, L. Mills*, K. McKelvey*, L. Ruggiero* & F. Allendorf*

MeSH headings : Animals; Canada; Carnivora / genetics; DNA; Homing Behavior; Microsatellite Repeats; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: High gene flow is shown despite separation by distances greater than 3,100 km, supporting the dispersal hypothesis, and it is suggested that management actions in the contiguous United States should focus on maintaining connectivity with the core of the lynx's geographic range.

2002 journal article

Corridors affect plants, animals, and their interactions in fragmented landscapes

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 99(20), 12923–12926.

By: J. Tewksbury n, D. Levey n, N. Haddad n, S. Sargent n, J. Orrock n, A. Weldon n, B. Danielson n, J. Brinkerhoff n, E. Damschen n, P. Townsend n

MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Butterflies; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecology; Ecosystem; Environment; Plant Physiological Phenomena; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that corridors not only increase the exchange of animals between patches, but also facilitate two key plant–animal interactions: pollination and seed dispersal, and suggested that increased plant and animal movement through corridors will have positive impacts on plant populations and community interactions in fragmented landscapes.

Long-term oscillations in grassland productivity induced by drought

ECOLOGY LETTERS, 5(1), 110–120.

author keywords: ANPP; community dynamics; disturbance; drought; litter; long-term research; nitrogen; oscillations; primary production; synchronous production
TL;DR: It is shown that a major drought perturbed prairie grassland from nearly constant average annual production, and induced 9 years of oscillations with a 2-year period, showing that a single disturbance may have long-lasting effects on the dynamics of plant production. (via Semantic Scholar)
