Experimental evidence that simplified forest structure interacts with snow cover to influence functional connectivity for Pacific martens

Creator:

Moriarty, Katie M., Epps, Clinton W., Betts, Matthew G., Hance, Dalton J., Bailey, J. D., and Zielinski, William J.

Abstract:

Context: Functional connectivity—the facilitation of individual movements among habitat patches—is essential for species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes. Evaluating functional connectivity is critical for predicting range shifts, developing conservation plans, and anticipating effects of disturbance, especially for species affected by climate change. Objectives: We examined whether simplifying forest structure influenced animal...

Experimental brood enlargement differentially influences the magnitude of the corticosterone stress response in closely related, co-occurring songbirds

Creator:

Hardt, Braelei M., Ardia, Daniel R., Bashaw, Meredith J., and Rivers, James W.

Abstract:

1. Rearing environments can shape offspring phenotype across taxa, yet little is known about how brood size influences hypothalamic-pituitary axis functioning, whether its expression trades off with growth, and the degree to which these -relationships vary between species. 2. We evaluated how brood size influenced nestling physiological (glucocorticoids) and somatic...
