Carnivore Translocations and Conservation: Insights from Population Models and Field Data for Fishers (Martes pennanti)
PLOS ONE, 7(3).
MeSH headings : Animals; Carnivora / growth & development; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Ecosystem; Female; Geography; Male; Models, Biological; Mustelidae / growth & development; North America; Population Dynamics; Software
TL;DR:
This model predicts that the most important factor influencing successful re-establishment of a fisher population is the number of adult females reintroduced (provided some males are also released), and hypothesizes that many males may need to be released to insure a sufficient number of good breeders are included, probably large males.

Acute effects of road salts and associated cyanide compounds on the early life stages of the unionid mussel Villosa iris
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 31(8), 1801–1806.
author keywords: Unionidae; Freshwater mussel; Cyanide; Road salt; Toxicity
MeSH headings : Adolescent; Animals; Cyanides / toxicity; Environmental Monitoring; Humans; Larva / drug effects; Salts / toxicity; Sodium Chloride / toxicity; Unionidae / drug effects; Unionidae / growth & development; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR:
Assessment of the acute toxicity of cyanide compounds and road salts containing cyanide anticaking agents on glochidia and juveniles of the freshwater mussel Villosa iris indicates that cyanide‐containing anticaking Agents do not exacerbate the toxicity of road salts, but that the use ofRoad salts and brine solutions for deicing or dust control on roads may warrant further investigation.

ARTHROPOD ABUNDANCE AND SEASONAL BIRD USE OF BOTTOMLAND FOREST HARVEST GAPS
WILSON JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY, 124(1), 31–39.
TL;DR:
This study suggests high bird abundance associated with canopy gaps during the non-breeding period resulted less from high arthropod food resource availability than from complex understory and midstory vegetation structure.

Widespread inbreeding and unexpected geographic patterns of genetic variation in eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), an imperiled North American conifer
CONSERVATION GENETICS, 13(2), 475–498.
author keywords: Phylogeography; Pleistocene; Migration; Population genetics; Microsatellite; Bottleneck
TL;DR:
Efforts to conserve eastern hemlock genetic material should emphasize the capture of broad adaptability that occurs across the geographic range of the species, as well as genetic variability within regions with the highest allelic richness and heterozygosity, such as the Southern Appalachians and New England, and within disjunct populations that are genetically distinct.

The strategic importance of applied tree conservation programs to the forest industry in South Africa
SOUTHERN FORESTS-A JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 74(1), 1–6.
author keywords: adaptability; ex situ conservation; climate change
TL;DR:
The design is based on maintaining an effective population size of approximately 30 with the goal to capture alleles at high frequencies as well as to include a number of rare alleles in the ex situ plantings to maintain well-adapted genetic material for future deployment.

ROLES OF CLIMATE AND FUNCTIONAL TRAITS IN CONTROLLING TOOTHED VS. UNTOOTHED LEAF MARGINS
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 99(5), 915–922.
author keywords: climate; deciduous; evergreen; leaf mass per area; leaf teeth; leaf thickness; temperature; wood anatomy
MeSH headings : Biomass; Climate; Geography; Logistic Models; Plant Leaves / anatomy & histology; Plant Leaves / physiology; Principal Component Analysis; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Sample Size; Temperature
TL;DR:
The data support hypotheses linking the adaptive significance of teeth to leaf thickness and deciduousness (in addition to temperature) and toothed species associate with the "fast-return" end of the leaf economic spectrum, providing another functional link to thin leaves and theDeciduous habit.

Growth potential and genetic parameters of four Mesoamerican pines planted in the Southern Hemisphere
SOUTHERN FORESTS-A JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 74(1), 27–49.
author keywords: genetic correlation; genetic variation; heritability; tree breeding
TL;DR:
For all species, the best provenance produced 10–20% more volume than the population mean, and additional genetic gain could be made by family and within-family selection in an intensive tree-breeding effort.

Effects of crop field characteristics on nocturnal winter use by American woodcock
JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT, 76(3), 528–533.
author keywords: American woodcock; foraging habitat; no-till agriculture; North Carolina; Scolopax minor; wintering habitat
TL;DR:
Ridges and furrows in no-till soybean fields planted after corn and undisked corn fields may provide wintering woodcock with thermal protection and concealment from predators and can be used to predict woodcock field use on the wintering grounds in agricultural areas.

SOUTHERN FORESTS-A JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 74(1), 7–17.
author keywords: adaptability; cold hardiness; electrolyte leakage; frost tolerance; relative conductivity
TL;DR:
Rankings of pure species and varieties should be useful to predict frost tolerance of pine hybrids, and the methodology shows promise for future experiments to quantify cold tolerance and genetic variation among hybrid progeny.

Selection of Pinus spp. in South Africa for tolerance to infection by the pitch canker fungus
NEW FORESTS, 43(4), 473–489.
author keywords: Camcore; Tree disease; Screening for resistance; Disease avoidance; Plantation forestry
TL;DR:
The results showed that P. maximinoi, P. pseudostrobus, and the low elevation variety of P. tecunumanii are highly tolerant to infection with very little family variation, which provides the industry with valuable information on pine species tolerant to F. circinatum that could be used as alternatives to P. patula in South Africa.

Relationship between fecal hormone concentrations and reproductive success in captive pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis)
JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, 93(3), 759–770.
author keywords: captive breeding; conception; fecal glucocorticoids; hormones; lactation; litter size; mating; progestagens; stress; reproduction
TL;DR:
Investigating patterns of fecal progestagen and glucocorticoid excretion in females during mating, gestation, and lactation and identifying hormonal relationships to reproductive success found higher concentrations during the breeding season were associated with reduced conception rates and survival of subsequent litters.
