Landscape Epidemiology and Control of Pathogens with Cryptic and Long-Distance Dispersal: Sudden Oak Death in Northern Californian Forests

PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, 8(1).

MeSH headings : California; Computer Simulation; Ecosystem; Models, Biological; Plant Diseases / parasitology; Plant Diseases / prevention & control; Trees / parasitology
TL;DR: It is shown how the successful management of forest ecosystems depends on estimating the spatial scales of invasion and treatment of pathogens and pests with cryptic long-distance dispersal, and early synchronous treatment in newly-identified disease foci should be more cost-effective.

Ecosystem transformation by emerging infectious disease: loss of large tanoak from California forests

JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, 100(3), 712–722.

author keywords: community-driven transmission; disease ecology; forest disease; pathogen-caused extinction; Phytophthora ramorum; plant population and community dynamics; selective species removal; sudden oak death
TL;DR: This work states that forest disease has caused spectacular declines in North American overstorey trees and restructured forest ecosystems at large spatial scales over the past 100 years and that these events threaten biodiversity associated with impacted host trees and other resources valued by human societies even when they do not directly cause host extinction.

Common Factors Drive Disease and Coarse Woody Debris Dynamics in Forests Impacted by Sudden Oak Death

ECOSYSTEMS, 15(2), 242–255.

By: R. Cobb*, M. Chan*, R. Meentemeyer* & D. Rizzo*

author keywords: Phytophthora ramorum; emerging infectious disease; disease ecology; tanoak; coarse woody debris; decomposition
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the same epidemiological mechanisms drive disease intensity and coarse woody debris dynamics in natural forest ecosystems impacted by an emerging disease and models of CWD dynamics need to integrate epidemiological processes to predict realistic ecosystem impacts and lead to management applications for forest pathogens.

An emergent disease causes directional changes in forest species composition in coastal California

ECOSPHERE, 3(10).

By: M. Metz*, K. Frangioso*, A. Wickland*, R. Meentemeyer* & D. Rizzo*

author keywords: Big Sur, California; diversity-disease risk; emerging infectious disease; mixed evergreen forests; pathogen-mediated competition; Phytophthora ramorum; redwood forests; sudden oak death; tanoak
TL;DR: Examining interactions between P. ramorum and its hosts in redwood and mixed evergreen forest types over an 80,000 ha area in the Big Sur ecoregion of central California found that forest diversity plays an important role in pathogen establishment and spread, and is in turn changed by pathogen impacts.

Use of Occupancy Models to Evaluate Expert Knowledge-based Species-Habitat Relationships

AVIAN CONSERVATION AND ECOLOGY, 7(2).

By: M. Iglecia*, J. Collazo* & A. McKerrow n

author keywords: Breeding Bird Survey; Brown-headed Nuthatch; Eastern Wood-Pewee; expert knowledge; habitat conservation; Red-headed Woodpecker; South Atlantic Coastal Plain
TL;DR: The modeling approach described herein provides a means to test expert knowledge-based species-habitat relationships, and hence, help guide conservation planning, and suggest that covariates representing other habitat requirements might be necessary to model occurrence of generalist species like the woodpecker.

author keywords: Species distribution model; Machine learning; Marine protected area; Important bird area (IBA); Shearwater; Portugal
TL;DR: This paper advocates the use of ensemble modelling that combines the output of several methods to predict the spatial distribution of seabirds, and uses these predictions to target separate surveys assessing the abundance of seABirds in areas of regular use. (via Semantic Scholar)

Trends over time in tree and seedling phylogenetic diversity indicate regional differences in forest biodiversity change

Ecological Applications, 22(2), 517–531.

author keywords: biodiversity; climate change; conservation biology; dispersal; ecosystem function; forest health; indicator; landscape ecology; monitoring; North America; phylogenetic diversity; regional scale
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Phylogeny; Seedlings / classification; Seedlings / genetics; Seedlings / physiology; Time Factors; Trees / classification; Trees / genetics; Trees / physiology; United States
TL;DR: Using repeated inventory measurements five years apart from more than 7000 forested plots in the eastern United States, phylogenetic diversity is substantially different from species richness as a measure of biodiversity, and broadscale patterns of forest biodiversity change are detected that are consistent with expected early effects of climate change.
