2005 journal article

Comparison of Pollen Transfer Dynamics by Multiple Floral Visitors: Experiments with Pollen and Fluorescent Dye

Annals of Botany, 97(1), 141–150.

TL;DR: The results from this study add to a growing body of literature highlighting that floral visitors vary in pollination effectiveness, and that visitors carrying the most pollen on their bodies may not always be the most efficient at depositing pollen on stigmas. (via Semantic Scholar)

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATION IN POLLINATION OF A MONTANE HERB: A SEVEN-YEAR STUDY

Ecology, 86(8), 2106–2116.

By: M. Price*, N. Waser*, R. Irwin*, D. Campbell* & A. Brody*

TL;DR: Results of a long-term study of Ipomopsis aggregata, a semelparous montane herb whose flowers are visited by hummingbird and insect pollinators as well as “floral larcenists,” show variation in mean stigma pollen load among plants flowering in the same site and year is explained.

ECOLOGICAL COSTS AND BENEFITS OF DEFENSES IN NECTAR

Ecology, 86(11), 2968–2978.

TL;DR: It is found that nectar robbers and most pollinators probed fewer flowers and spent less time per flower on plants with high compared to low nectar alkaloids, suggesting that secondary compounds in nectar may have more costs than benefits for plants. (via Semantic Scholar)

Male genital size reflects a tradeoff between attracting mates and avoiding predators in two live-bearing fish species

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 102(21), 7618–7623.

By: R. Langerhans*, C. Layman* & T. DeWitt

author keywords: fitness tradeoff; genital evolution; mate choice; natural selection; sexual selection
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Bahamas; Body Weights and Measures; Cyprinodontiformes / anatomy & histology; Cyprinodontiformes / physiology; Food Chain; Genitalia, Male / anatomy & histology; Male; Selection, Genetic; Sex Factors; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Swimming / physiology; Texas
TL;DR: Although postmating sexual selection is widely presumed to be the most important mechanism driving genital diversification, these findings suggest that alternative mechanisms, particularly for organisms that cannot retract their genitalia, may also prove important. (via Semantic Scholar)

Community assembly at the patch scale in a species rich tropical river

Oecologia, 144(1), 157–167.

By: D. Arrington*, K. Winemiller* & C. Layman*

author keywords: assembly rules; neotropical fishes; null model; patch dynamics; species density
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Ecosystem; Environment; Fishes / physiology; Models, Theoretical; Rivers; Species Specificity; Venezuela
TL;DR: It is concluded that community assembly in shallow habitats of this tropical lowland river is influenced by physical habitat characteristics, the spatial distribution of habitat patches, and species interactions as habitats are saturated with individuals. (via Semantic Scholar)

Pellet count indices compared to mark-recapture estimates for evaluating snowshoe hare density

JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, 69(3), 1053–1062.

By: L. Mills*, P. Griffin*, K. Hodges*, K. McKelvey*, L. Ruggiero* & T. Ulizio*

author keywords: abundance index; density estimation; effective grid size; Lepus americanus; mark-recapture; Montana; pellet counts; population size; snowshoe hare
TL;DR: It is recommended that widespread pellet sampling be used to identify areas with very low hare densities; subsequent surveys using mark–recapture methodology can then focus on higher density areas where density inferences are more reliable. (via Semantic Scholar)

Mortality by moonlight: predation risk and the snowshoe hare

BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY, 16(5), 938–944.

By: P. Griffin, S. Griffin, C. Waroquiers & L. Mills*

author keywords: moonlight; moon phase; movement; predation rate; predation risk; prey behavior
TL;DR: Snowshoe hares' nightly movement distances decreased during high-risk full-moon periods in the snowy season but did not change according to moon phase in the snow-free season, consistent with the predation risk allocation hypothesis. (via Semantic Scholar)

Habitat selection of endangered and endemic large flying-foxes in Subic Bay, Philippines

BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION, 126(1), 93–102.

By: T. Mildenstein, S. Stier, C. Nuevo-Diego* & L. Mills*

author keywords: habitat selection; threatened species conservation; Philippines; Pteropus vampyrus; Acerodon juhatus; fruit bat
TL;DR: Habitat selection information streamlines management’s efforts to protect and conserve these popular but threatened animals and recommends that management focus flying-fox conservation efforts on undisturbed forest and riparian areas. (via Semantic Scholar)

Gene flow after inbreeding leads to higher survival in deer mice

BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION, 123(4), 413–420.

author keywords: inbreeding depression; migration; purging; deer mouse; conservation biology
TL;DR: It is shown that the introduction of migrants can reduce inbreeding depression, as theory predicts, and limited evidence for purging of deleterious recessive alleles that can cause in breeding depression is shown. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effects of landscape corridors on seed dispersal by birds

SCIENCE, 309(5731), 146–148.

By: D. Levey n, B. Bolker n, J. Tewksbury n, S. Sargent n & N. Haddad n

MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Computer Simulation; Conservation of Natural Resources; Defecation; Ecosystem; Environment; Flight, Animal; Models, Biological; Myrica; Passeriformes / physiology; Pinus; Seeds; South Carolina; Trees
TL;DR: This study examined the effect of habitat corridors on long-distance dispersal of seeds by birds, and tested whether small-scale movements of birds could be scaled up to predict dispersal across hundreds of meters in eight experimentally fragmented landscapes. (via Semantic Scholar)

Corridors and olfactory predator cues affect small mammal behavior

JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 86(4), 662–669.

author keywords: corridors; foraging; habitat fragmentation; movement; Peromyscus; Savannah River Site
TL;DR: This study is among the 1st to indicate combined effects of landscape configuration and predation risk on prey behavior and these changes in prey behavior may, in turn, have cascading effects on community dynamics where corridors and differentialpredation risk influence movement and patch use.

The effects of patch shape on indigo buntings: Evidence for an ecological trap

ECOLOGY, 86(6), 1422–1431.

By: A. Weldon n & N. Haddad n

author keywords: disturbance-dependent birds; ecological trap; edge habitat; fragmentation; habitat selection; Indigo Bunting; nest success; Passerina cyanea; patch shape; reproductive success
TL;DR: This work experimentally demonstrated how habitat shape, and thus amount of edge, can adversely affect nest site selection and reproductive success of a disturbance-dependent bird species, the Indigo Bunting, and provides the first experimental evidence that edges can function as ecological traps.

Low-quality habitat corridors as movement conduits for two butterfly species

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 15(1), 250–257.

By: N. Haddad n & J. Tewksbury*

author keywords: butterfly; connectivity; conservation; corridor; dispersal; Euptoieta claudia; fragmentation; gene flow; habitat quality; Junonia coenia; landscape experiment; small populations
TL;DR: It is shown that open-habitat corridors can serve as dispersal conduits even when corridors do not support resident butterfly populations, and that for species that can traverse corridors within a generation, corridor habitat may be lower in quality than larger patches and still increase dispersal and gene flow.
