Influence of Abiotic and Environmental Factors on the Density and Infection Prevalence of Ixodes pacificus (Acari: Ixodidae) With Borrelia burgdorferi

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 48(1), 20–28.

By: A. Swei, R. Meentemeyer* & C. Briggs*

author keywords: abiotic limits; disease ecology; path analysis; spatial autocorrelation
MeSH headings : Animals; Borrelia burgdorferi / physiology; California; Ecosystem; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Ixodes / microbiology; Microclimate; Population Density; Quercus
TL;DR: It is found that in certain years but not others, temperature maxima in the dry season may constrain the density and density of infected I. pacificus nymphs, and biotic or stochastic factors may play a more important role in determining tick density. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Forest species diversity reduces disease risk in a generalist plant pathogen invasion

ECOLOGY LETTERS, 14(11), 1108–1116.

author keywords: Bayesian hierarchical model; emerging infectious disease; forest ecosystem; landscape epidemiology; Phytophthora ramorum; spatial autocorrelation; species diversity; sudden oak death; zero-inflation
MeSH headings : Bayes Theorem; Biodiversity; California; Ecosystem; Host Specificity; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Introduced Species; Linear Models; Models, Biological; Phytophthora / pathogenicity; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Plants; Population Density; Trees / microbiology
TL;DR: Evidence is found for pathogen dilution, whereby disease risk was lower in sites with higher species diversity, after accounting for potentially confounding effects of host density and landscape heterogeneity, suggesting that although nearly all plants in the ecosystem are hosts, alternative hosts may dilute disease transmission by competent hosts, thereby buffering forest health from infectious disease.

Effects of propagule type on genetic parameters of wood density and growth in a loblolly pine progeny test at ages 10 and 11 years

Tree Genetics & Genomes, 7(6), 1147–1158.

By: W. Cumbie n, F. Isik n, B. Li n & B. Goldfarb n

author keywords: Pinus taeda; Wood density; Heritability; Clones; Vegetative propagation
TL;DR: Nine full-sib families of loblolly pine produced by a 3 × 3 factorial mating design showed that individual-tree and family heritability estimates from rooted cuttings were similar to or higher than those from seedlings for all traits, which suggests that wood density and height breeding value estimates can be estimated by traditional seedling tests, but not for tree diameter.

Accounting for non-independent detection when estimating abundance of organisms with a Bayesian approach

METHODS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 2(6), 595–601.

By: J. Martin*, J. Royle*, D. Mackenzie*, H. Edwards*, M. Kery* & B. Gardner n

author keywords: beta-binomial distribution; binomial mixture; correlated Bernoulli outcomes; correlated behaviour; manatees; truncated Poisson distribution
TL;DR: This work has shown that correlated behaviour, affecting the non‐independence of individual detections, may also be relevant in other systems (e.g. correlated patterns of singing in birds and amphibians). (via Semantic Scholar)

Using stable carbon isotopes to distinguish wild from captive wolves

Northeast Naturalist, 18, 253–264.

By: R. Kays* & R. Feranec*

TL;DR: This new evidence suggests that, while some Wolves are escaping from captivity, at least three animals have apparently dispersed into the area, adding new urgency to the preparation of conservation plans for the potential natural recovery of this endangered species in the region.

The effect of feeding time on dispersal of Virola seeds by toucans determined from GPS tracking and accelerometers

Acta Oecologica, 37(6), 625–631.

By: R. Kays*, P. Jansen*, E. Knecht*, R. Vohwinkel & M. Wikelski*

author keywords: Seed dispersal kernel; Regurgitation time; GPS tracking; Accelerometer; Tropical forests
TL;DR: This study combined high-resolution GPS/3D-acceleration bird tracking, seed-retention experiments, and field observations to quantify dispersal of V. nobilis by their principal dispersers, Ramphastos toucans, demonstrating how new tracking technology can yield nuanced seed dispersal kernels for animals that cannot be directly observed.
