Ecologists, educators, and writers collaborate with the public to assess backyard diversity in The School of Ants Project

ECOSPHERE, 5(7).

By: A. Lucky n, A. Savage n, L. Nichols n, C. Castracani *, L. Shell n, D. Grasso *, A. Mori *, R. Dunn n

EFFECTS OF SUBSTRATE TYPE ON DEMOGRAPHIC RATES OF EASTERN OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA)

JOURNAL OF SHELLFISH RESEARCH, 33(1), 177–185.

By: R. Dunn n , D. Eggleston n & N. Lindquist

author keywords: oyster; Crassostrea virginica; restoration; bioerosion; clionid sponge; salinity; recruitment; growth
TL;DR: Results support consideration of non-CaCO3 materials, particularly concrete, for future oyster reef restoration, especially in high-salinity areas where the boring sponge Cliona is abundant, because both oyster density and growth were similar on oyster shell and concrete substrates as long as 1 y after reef construction.

Changes in ant community composition caused by 20 years of experimental warming vs. 13 years of natural climate shift

ECOSPHERE, 5(1).

By: S. Menke *, J. Harte * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: S. Menke *, J. Harte * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: climate change; community composition; elevation gradient; Formicidae; Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory; warming experiment
TL;DR: Interestingly, after 20 years of experimental warming, there is little discernible effect on ant communities in experimentally warmed plots compared to control plots, probably an effect of the spatial scale of the experimental warming. (via Semantic Scholar)
