Creator:: Miller, Brian J., Harlow, Henry J., Harlow, Tyler S., Biggins, Dean, and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: When large carnivores are extirpated from ecosystems that evolved with apex predators, these systems can change at the herbivore and plant trophic levels. Such changes across trophic levels are called cascading effects and they are very important to conservation. Studies on the effects of reintroduced wolves in Yellowstone National Park...

Creator:: Endress, Bryan A., Wisdom, Michael J., Vavra, Martin, Parks, Catherine G., Dick, Brian L., Naylor, Bridgett J., and Boyd, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Herbivory by domestic and wild ungulates can dramatically affect vegetation structure, composition and dynamics in nearly every terrestrial ecosystem of the world. These effects are of particular concern in forests of western North America, where intensive herbivory by native and domestic ungulates has the potential to substantially reduce or eliminate...

Creator:: Ripple, William J., Wirsing, Aaron J., Wilmers, Christopher C., and Letnic, Mike
Abstract:: Herein, we posit a link between the ecological extinction of wolves in the American West and the expansion in distribution, increased abundance, and inflated ecological influence of coyotes. We investigate the hypothesis that the release of this mesopredator from wolf suppression across much of the American West is affecting, via...

Creator:: Kemp, T. J., Bachus, K. N., Nairn, J. A., and Carrier, D. R.
Abstract:: The physical demands of rapid and economical running differ from the demands of fighting in ways that may prevent the simultaneous evolution of optimal performance in these two behaviors. Here, we test an hypothesis of functional trade-off in limb bones by measuring mechanical properties of limb bones in two breeds...

B., Douglas, Carl J., Strauss, Steven H., Rokhsar, Dan, and Tuskan, Gerald A.
Abstract:: •Plant population genomics informs evolutionary biology, breeding, conservation and bioenergy feedstock development. For example, the detection of reliable phenotype–genotype associations and molecular signatures of selection requires a detailed knowledge about genome-wide patterns of allele frequency variation, linkage disequilibrium and recombination. •We resequenced 16 genomes of the model tree Populus trichocarpa...
