2009 journal article

Effects of flowering plant density on pollinator visitation, pollen receipt, and seed production in <i>Delphinium barbeyi</i> (Ranunculaceae)

American Journal of Botany, 96(5), 912–919.

By: S. Elliott* & R. Irwin*

TL;DR: The effects of conspecific flowering plant density on D. barbeyi pollination and seed production are minor, and experimental manipulation did not affect pollinator visitation rate, pollen receipt, or seed production. (via Semantic Scholar)

The importance of interannual variation and bottom–up nitrogen enrichment for plant–pollinator networks

Oikos, 118(12), 1816–1829.

By: L. Burkle & R. Irwin*

TL;DR: The community structure of small-scale mutualistic networks may be relatively robust to short-term bottomup changes in the resource supply, but sensitive to variation in the opportunistic behavior and turnover of plant and pollinator species among years. (via Semantic Scholar)

Realized tolerance to nectar robbing: compensation to floral enemies in Ipomopsis aggregata

Annals of Botany, 103(9), 1425–1433.

By: R. Irwin*

TL;DR: By linking concepts and techniques from studies of plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore interactions, this work provides insight into the role of floral traits in pollinator attraction as well as plant defence. (via Semantic Scholar)

Nectar Sugar Limits Larval Growth of Solitary Bees (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)

Environmental Entomology, 38(4), 1293–1300.

TL;DR: This study suggests that, in addition to pollen, nectarsugar concentration can limit solitary bee larval growth and development, and nectar should be considered more explicitly as a currency governing foraging decisions related to producing optimally sized offspring. (via Semantic Scholar)

Ecology and evolution of plant–pollinator interactions

Annals of Botany, 103(9), 1355–1363.

By: R. Mitchell*, R. Irwin*, R. Flanagan* & J. Karron*

TL;DR: This Viewpoint paper highlights the application of ecological and evolutionary approaches to two themes in pollination biology: (1) links between pollinator behaviour and plant mating systems, and (2) generalization and specialization inpollination systems. (via Semantic Scholar)

The effects of nutrient addition on floral characters and pollination in two subalpine plants, Ipomopsis aggregata and Linum lewisii

Plant Ecology, 203(1), 83–98.

author keywords: Floral traits; Life-history; Nutrient limitation; Plant reproduction; Pollen limitation; Water addition
TL;DR: In both species, there were no effects of resource addition on male function, and the direct effects of fertilization on female function were relatively stronger than the indirect effects via changes in pollination. (via Semantic Scholar)

Ecogeographic genetic epidemiology

Genetic Epidemiology, 33(4), 281–289.

author keywords: geographic information systems; environmental health; population genetics; spatial genetics; medical geography; landscape genetics
MeSH headings : Ecosystem; Environment; Epidemiologic Methods; Genetics, Medical / statistics & numerical data; Genetics, Population / statistics & numerical data; Geography; Humans; Software
TL;DR: A new interdisciplinary paradigm is introduced, ecogeographic genetic epidemiology, which uses GIS and spatial statistical analyses to layer genetic subpopulation and environmental data with disease rates and thereby discern the complex gene‐environment interactions which result in spatial patterns of incidence.

Preliminary Examination of How Human-driven Freshwater Flow Alteration Affects Trophic Ecology of Juvenile Snook (Centropomus undecimalis) in Estuarine Creeks

Estuaries and Coasts, 32(4), 819–828.

By: A. Adams*, R. Wolfe* & C. Layman*

author keywords: Food web; Freshwater flow alteration; Intraspecific niche variation; Juvenile fish; Lavage; Trophic ecology
TL;DR: The difference in diet diversity of juvenile snook may be an indicator of an overall change in ecosystem function and these shifts in food web structure may affect the rate that juveniles of this and other species with similar habitat requirements successfully join the adult population.

Sinks without borders: snowshoe hare dynamics in a complex landscape

OIKOS, 118(10), 1487–1498.

By: P. Griffin & L. Mills

TL;DR: The results support a conceptual model for snowshoe hares in the southern range in which sink habitats (open areas) prevent the buildup of high hare densities and develop a novel approach to quantify demographic sources and sinks for animals making routine movements through complex fragmented landscapes.

MARMOTS ON THE MOVE? DISPERSAL IN A DECLINING MONTANE MAMMAL

JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 90(3), 686–695.

By: S. Griffin, P. Griffin, M. Taper & L. Mills

author keywords: dispersal; Kaplan-Meier; Marmota olympus; metapopulation; Olympic marmot; radiotelemetry; translocations
TL;DR: If the observed dispersal patterns are representative of range-wide patterns and if Olympic marmot densities remain low, successful dispersal may be too infrequent to sustain reliable recolonization of vacant habitats or even genetic or demographic rescue of isolated marmot groups.

DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF SNOWSHOE HARES IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 90(4), 870–878.

By: K. Hodges, L. Mills & K. Murphy

author keywords: fire; habitat; Lepus americanus; lodgepole pine; snowshoe hare; Yellowstone National Park
TL;DR: It is indicated that snowshoe hares in Yellowstone are rare, patchily distributed, and apparently acyclic, important findings both for understanding hare dynamics and for implications for the Yellowstone food web that includes the federally Threatened Canada lynx. (via Semantic Scholar)

A better way to estimate population trends

OIKOS, 118(12), 1940–1946.

By: J. Humbert, L. Mills, J. Horne & B. Dennis

TL;DR: The performance of the EGSS model even with half of the counts in the time series missing implies that trend estimates may be improved by diverting effort away from annual monitoring and towards increasing time series length or improving precision of the abundance estimates for years that data are collected.

Effects of Corridors on Genetics of a Butterfly in a Landscape Experiment

SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST, 8(4), 709–722.

By: C. Wells*, R. Williams*, G. Walker* & N. Haddad n

TL;DR: The results support previous investigations on dispersal and population size for J. coenia, and show that higher dispersal through corridors promotes genetic variability at a locus implicated in disperseal and fitness in butterflies. (via Semantic Scholar)

Plant species loss decreases arthropod diversity and shifts trophic structure

ECOLOGY LETTERS, 12(10), 1029–1039.

By: N. Haddad n, G. Crutsinger*, K. Gross n, J. Haarstad*, J. Knops* & D. Tilman*

author keywords: Arthropods; biodiversity; consumers; ecosystem function; herbivores; insects; long-term; plant diversity; predators; trophic structure
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods / physiology; Biodiversity; Extinction, Biological; Food Chain; Plant Development; Plants; Population Density
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that, over the long term, the loss of plant species propagates through food webs, greatly decreasing arthropod species richness, shifting a predator-dominated trophic structure to being herbivore dominated, and likely impacting ecosystem functioning and services.

author keywords: dispersal; habitat corridors; halos; life-history traits; reserve design
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Ecology; Ecosystem; Pinus; Plants / classification; South Carolina
TL;DR: By extending economically driven spillover concepts from marine fisheries and crop pollination systems, it is shown how reconnecting landscapes amplifies biodiversity conservation both within and beyond reserve borders. (via Semantic Scholar)
