2008 journal article
MECHANISMS OF TOLERANCE TO FLORAL LARCENY IN TWO WILDFLOWER SPECIES
Ecology, 89(11), 3093–3104.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that tolerance to floral larceny involves "banking" extra flowers to replace lost reproduction rather than maintaining pollination of ones with larcenny, and that the efficacy of flower production as a tolerance mechanism varies inversely to larcenist intensity.

NECTAR SECONDARY COMPOUNDS AFFECT SELF-POLLEN TRANSFER: IMPLICATIONS FOR FEMALE AND MALE REPRODUCTION
Ecology, 89(8), 2207–2217.
TL;DR:
The hypothesis that nectar with secondary compounds may benefit plants by encouraging pollinators to leave plants after visiting only a few flowers, thus reducing self-pollen transfer is tested and an exponential model of pollen carryover suggests that high nectar alkaloids could benefit plants via increased pollen export (an estimate of male function), but only when pollinators were efficient and abundant and plants had large floral displays.

The nectar alkaloid, gelsemine, does not affect offspring performance of a native solitary bee, <i>Osmia lignaria</i> (Megachilidae)
Ecological Entomology, 33(2), 298–304.
TL;DR:
The ecology and evolution of foliar‐feeding insects are thought to be closely tied to plant secondary compounds, which are also abundant in floral nectar, and their role in mediating pollinator preference and performance remains relatively unexplored.

2008 journal article
Interactions between nectar robbers and seed predators mediated by a shared host plant, Ipomopsis aggregata
Oecologia, 155(1), 75–84.
author keywords: scarlet gilia; multispecies interactions; nectar robbing; plant-animal interactions; pollination
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / physiology; Diptera / physiology; Flowers / parasitology; Fruit / parasitology; Host-Parasite Interactions / physiology; Magnoliopsida / parasitology; Magnoliopsida / physiology; Predatory Behavior; Seeds / parasitology
TL;DR:
The results suggest that seed predation is not independent of nectar robbing, and accounting for the interactions among species is crucial to predicting their ecological effects and plant evolutionary response.

Evaluation of the field impact of an adventitious herbivore on an invasive plant, yellow toadflax, in Colorado, USA
Plant Ecology, 199(1), 99–114.
author keywords: biological Control; Brachypterolus pulicarius; herbivory; insect behavior; invasive; Linaria vulgaris
TL;DR:
The effects of an accidentally introduced beetle Brachypterolus pulicarius on the growth and reproduction of its host, the invasive plant Linaria vulgaris, growing under field conditions across multiple years and sites in western Colorado, USA are studied.

2008 journal article
The case of the missing marmots: Are metapopulation dynamics or range-wide declines responsible?
BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION, 141(5), 1293–1309.
author keywords: Marmota olympus; metapopulation dynamics; Olympic marmot; Olympic National Park; non-equilibrium dynamics
TL;DR:
The spatial pattern of the extinctions is inconsistent with observed metapopulation dynamics in other marmot species and, together with very low observed dispersal rates, indicates that population is not at equilibrium.

Inferences about ungulate population dynamics derived from age ratios
JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, 72(5), 1143–1151.
author keywords: age ratios; Cervus elaphus; elk; indices; life-stage simulation analysis; monitoring; population growth rate; recruitment; sensitivity analysis; survival; ungulate
TL;DR:
Age ratios are not useful for detecting gradual declines in survival of young or making inferences about fecundity or adult survival in ungulates populations, therefore, age ratios coupled with independent estimates of population growth or population size are necessary to monitor ungulate population demography and dynamics closely through time.

Designing fecal pellet surveys for snowshoe hares
FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, 256(11), 1918–1926.
author keywords: Abundance index; Fecal pellet plots; Lepus americanus; Monte Carlo simulations; Negative binomial; Snowshoe hare; Survey design
TL;DR:
Examining how the precision, bias, and efficiency of four commonly used plot types vary with plot type, pellet density, and sample size found that researchers explicitly address the power of their survey design to detect different pellet densities is recommended.

Optimising methods for monitoring programs: Olympic marmots as a case study
WILDLIFE RESEARCH, 35(8), 788–797.
author keywords: Marmota olympus; occupancy; Olympic National Park; presence-absence
TL;DR:
A large-scale, long-term monitoring program for Olympic marmot (Marmota olympus) throughout its range across a logistically challenging mountainous park is presented, designed to reflect extinction–recolonisation dynamics using presence–absence data.

The movement ecology and dynamics of plant communities in fragmented landscapes
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 105(49), 19078–19083.
author keywords: corridors; dispersal; diversity; life-history traits; species richness
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Ecology / methods; Ecosystem; Models, Biological; Plants; Population Dynamics
TL;DR:
This framework was modified to generate predictions for species richness dynamics of fragmented plant communities and found that two external factors affected species colonization and recolonization in habitat fragments and their effects varied and depended on motion capacity.

Finding the corridor more traveled
Haddad, N. M. (2008, December 16). PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Vol. 105, pp. 19569–19570.
MeSH headings : Animal Migration; Animals; Biodiversity; Birds / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Trees / physiology
TL;DR:
A clever behavioral experiment is offered that offers new insights into the circumstances under which corridors benefit species and helps clarify the scientific question: Do corridors actually work to promote dispersal and conserve biodiversity?

Determining optimal population monitoring for rare butterflies
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 22(4), 929–940.
author keywords: butterflies; distance sampling; endangered butterflies; insects; mark-recapture; rare species; species monitoring; threatened species; transect counts
MeSH headings : Animals; Butterflies / physiology; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Population Density; Time Factors
TL;DR:
Mark–recapture analysis provided by far the greatest amount of demographic information, including estimates of population size, detection, survival, and recruitment probabilities, and Pollard–Yates population indices derived from transect counts did not provide estimates of demographic parameters.

Species' traits predict the effects of disturbance and productivity on diversity
ECOLOGY LETTERS, 11(4), 348–356.
author keywords: community; disturbance; diversity; productivity; species' traits; species richness
MeSH headings : Animals; Bacteria; Biodiversity; Biomass; Body Size; Competitive Behavior; Environment; Eukaryota; Reproduction
TL;DR:
It is found that - alone or in concert - increasing disturbance intensity or frequency, or decreasing productivity, reduced diversity, and it is demonstrated that species' traits can help resolve conflicting patterns in the response of diversity to disturbance and productivity.
