Understanding the influence of large and small-scale heterogeneity on species distribution
and abundance is one of the major foci of landscape ecology research in fragmented …

Foundation tree species are dominant and define ecosystems. Because of the historical
importance of oaks (Quercus) in east-central United States, it was unlikely that oak …

We surveyed the soil-dwelling spider communities of four stand types of forests (pure stands:
spruce, Douglas fir; mixed stands: beech-spruce, oak-beech) along a successional gradient …

Guidelines for using prescribed fire to regenerate and restore upland oak forests,
woodlands, and savannas in eastern North America were developed by synthesizing the …

We examined the community‐environment relationships of lotic macroinvertebrates in near‐
pristine headwater streams, and the correlation between patterns in taxonomic and …

Clouded leopards are among Asia's most widely distributed felids, but also among its least
known and most vulnerable. Clouded leopards occur in some of the most rapidly …

In the northeastern United States, pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.)–scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia
Wang.) communities are increasingly threatened by development and fire suppression, and …

In urban brownfields (derelict sites), we studied the influence of local factors (successional
age, vegetation structure, soil) and landscape context (spatial arrangement of brownfields of …

Question: Which environmental variables best explain patterns in the vegetation of biancane
badlands? What is the role of spatial scales in structuring the vegetation of biancane …

Although reserves of temperate seminatural grassland require management interventions to
prevent succesional change, each intervention affects the populations of sensitive …
