Individual Tree Detection from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Derived Canopy Height Model in an Open Canopy Mixed Conifer Forest

FORESTS, 8(9).

By: M. Mohan  n, C. Silva *, C. Klauberg *, P. Jat *, G. Catts n, A. Cardil, A. Hudak *, M. Dia n

author keywords: structure from motion (SfM); 3D point cloud; remote sensing; local maxima; fixed tree window size
TL;DR: From the results, it can be concluded that ITD can be performed with an acceptable accuracy (F > 0.80) from UAV-derived CHMs in an open canopy forest, and has the potential to supplement future research directed towards estimation of above ground biomass and stem volume from Uav-imagery.

Genetic diversity within populations of an arctic-alpine species declines with decreasing latitude across the Northern Hemisphere

JOURNAL OF BIOGEOGRAPHY, 44(12), 2740–2751.

By: A. Hirao*, M. Watanabe *, S. Tsuyuzaki *, A. Shimono*, X. Li*, T. Masuzawa *, N. Wada *

author keywords: arctic-alpine species; Dryas octopetala L; genetic diversity; high-latitude marginal population; latitudinal gradient; low-latitude marginal population
TL;DR: General latitudinal trends in genetic diversity within populations of a widespread arctic–alpine plant, Dryas octopetala, are identified and evaluated to examine the applicability to this species of the dominant hypothesis that intraspecific genetic diversity is highest in the tropics and declines towards the poles.

A spatial model for rare binary events

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL STATISTICS, 24(4), 485–504.

By: S. Morris*, B. Reich n , K. Pacifici n  & Y. Lei *

author keywords: Ecology; Extreme value analysis; Generalized linear model; Max-stable process; Occupancy
TL;DR: This paper proposes a method for rare binary data that builds on spatial extreme value theory and finds some evidence that for very rare data the max-stable extension provides an improvement in spatial prediction compared to Gaussian models. (via Semantic Scholar)

Regenerating white pine (Pinus strobus) in the south: Seedling position is more important than herbivory protection

Castanea, 82(2), 156–162.

By: M. Lashley *, M. Chitwood *, J. Nanney n, C. DePerno  & C. Moorman n

TL;DR: The data indicate seedling microenvironment is an important consideration at the periphery of the white pine range, especially given that deer herbivory tends to be most intense near forest edges. (via Semantic Scholar)

Bachman's Sparrows at the northern periphery of their range: home range size and microhabitat selection

JOURNAL OF FIELD ORNITHOLOGY, 88(3), 250–261.

By: J. Winiarski  n, C. Moorman n & J. Carpenter *

author keywords: kernel density estimators; longleaf pine; minimum convex polygon; radio-telemetry
TL;DR: The home ranges of Bachman's Sparrows in this study had greater densities of woody and dead vegetation than unused areas, and the presence of some woody vegetation in frequently burned longleaf pine communities may be important in providing song perches for males and cover from attacking predators.

Should We Use the Float Test to Quantify Acorn Viability?

WILDLIFE SOCIETY BULLETIN, 41(4), 776–779.

By: D. Morina *, M. Lashley *, M. Chitwood *, C. Moorman n & C. DePerno 

author keywords: germination; mast; oaks; Quercus; regeneration; viability
TL;DR: The data indicate the float test, though objective, is less accurate than an untrained observer at predicting the viability of acorns and that visually inspecting acorns is better than float-testing to determine viability. (via Semantic Scholar)

Contributors: Y. Lin  n, H. Chen n, Q. Li *, W. Li n, J. Wang n , R. Shi n, S. Tunlaya-Anukit n, P. Shuai  n ...

author keywords: reciprocal cross-regulation; NAC transcription factors; alternative splicing; wood formation; Populus trichocarpa
MeSH headings : Alternative Splicing; Cell Wall / genetics; Cell Wall / metabolism; Cloning, Molecular; DNA, Plant; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant / genetics; Gene Regulatory Networks; Genes, Plant; Homeostasis; Multigene Family; Nuclear Proteins; Plant Leaves / genetics; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Proteins / genetics; Plant Proteins / metabolism; Plant Shoots / genetics; Plant Shoots / metabolism; Populus / genetics; Populus / metabolism; Recombinant Proteins / genetics; Transcription Factors / genetics; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Transcriptional Activation / genetics; Transcriptome; Wood / genetics; Wood / growth & development; Xylem / genetics; Xylem / growth & development
TL;DR: The results indicate that the splice variants from the PtrVND6 and PtrSND1 family may exert reciprocal cross-regulation for complete transcriptional regulation of these two families in wood formation, suggesting a general mechanism among NAC domain proteins and likely other transcription factors.

Population isolation results in unexpectedly high differentiation in Carolina hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana), an imperiled southern Appalachian endemic conifer

Tree Genetics & Genomes, 13(5).

By: K. Potter n , A. Campbell n, S. Josserand*, C. Nelson * & R. Jetton n

author keywords: Disjunct populations; Gene conservation; Inbreeding; Microsatellite; Population isolation; Rare species
TL;DR: It is clearly demonstrated that, existing as a limited number of small and isolated populations, Carolina hemlock has insufficient gene flow to avoid widespread genetic drift and inbreeding, despite having the capacity to disperse pollen and seed relatively long distances by wind.

By: M. Lashley *, M. Chitwood  n, C. DePerno  & C. Moorman n

author keywords: Fire-return interval; Frugivore; Longleaf pine; Prescribed fire; Pyrodiversity
