Variation in the phenology and abundance of flowering by native and exotic plants in subalpine meadows

Biological Invasions, 12(7), 2363–2372.

By: B. Wilke* & R. Irwin*

TL;DR: The effects of an invasive exotic flowering plant, Linaria vulgaris, on community and individual species flowering phenology and abundance in subalpine meadows in Colorado, USA and the relationship between L. vulgaris density and resident floral production are explored, suggesting that a dominant invasive plant can affect community andindividual-species flowering.

Population-specific vital rate contributions influence management of an endangered ungulate

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 20(6), 1753–1765.

author keywords: endangered species; management; Ovis canadensis sierrae; population models; recovery; Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep; ungulate; vital rates
MeSH headings : Animals; California; Conservation of Natural Resources; Female; Longevity; Male; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics; Reproduction; Sheep, Bighorn / physiology; Time Factors
TL;DR: This study suggests that vital rate inferences from large, increasing, or healthy populations may not be applicable to those that are small, declining, or endangered, and finds wide spatial and temporal variation in bighorn sheep vital rates, causing rates to vary in their importance to different populations.

Open Environmental Sciences, 41, 41–52.

By: J. Pierson*, L. Mills & D. Christian

TL;DR: Fuel reduction/forest restoration treatments in dry ponderosa pine forests may be compatible with providing foraging substrates for cavity-nesting species often present in post-fire habitats. (via Semantic Scholar)

Combining ground count, telemetry, and mark-resight data to infer population dynamics in an endangered species

JOURNAL OF APPLIED ECOLOGY, 47(5), 1083–1093.

author keywords: Bayesian state-space models; demographic parameter estimation; fecundity; ground count; mark-resight; Ovis canadensis sierrae; Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep; survival; telemetry
TL;DR: Demographic rates indicated that recovery efforts should focus on increasing adult and yearling survival in the smallest bighorn sheep population, and in evaluating covariates it was found that vital rates in all populations were positively associated with summer precipitation, but that winter severity only had a negative effect on the smallest herd.

Natural, not urban, barriers define population structure for a coastal endemic butterfly

CONSERVATION GENETICS, 11(6), 2311–2320.

author keywords: Population genetics; Habitat fragmentation; Urbanization; Conservation; Atrytonopsis; Population structure
TL;DR: Conservation strategies for Atrytonopsis sp1, and potentially for other mobile insects that use open-structured habitats, should not focus explicitly on habitat corridors through urban areas, but rather should seek to preserve and restore as much habitat as possible across the butterfly’s range.
