Climate change is arguably the greatest challenge to conservation of our time. Most
vulnerability assessments rely on past and current species distributions to predict
future persistence but ignore species’ abilities to disperse through landscapes, which
may be particularly important in fragmented habitats and crucial for long-term persistence
in changing environments....

Studies of Hawaiian volcanoes contribute valuable insights about Earth processes and mantle evolution, and are fundamental for understanding the construction of the largest volcanoes on terrestrial planets. The pre-shield stage exists in every Hawaiian volcano, but is usually blanketed by high volume tholeiitic lava flows during the main shield stage....
1. Foraging and migration often require different energetic and movement strategies. Though not readily apparent, constraints during one phase might influence the foraging strategies observed in another. For marine birds that fly and dive, body size constraints likely present a trade-off between foraging ability and migration as smaller bodies reduce...

BACKGROUND: The wild grass Brachypodium distachyon has emerged as a model system for temperate grasses and
biofuel plants. However, the global analysis of miRNAs, molecules known to be key for eukaryotic gene regulation,
has been limited in B. distachyon to studies examining a few samples or that rely on computational...

This toolkit is part of a larger project to employ innovative Extension techniques and technologies to engage a fast-growing yet traditionally underserved and socially disadvantaged segment of forest owners in the United States. This project is designed to engage women woodland owners with an empowering, peer-learning approach. The toolkit focuses...

BACKGROUND: Circadian clocks provide an adaptive advantage through anticipation of daily and seasonal environmental
changes. In plants, the central clock oscillator is regulated by several interlocking feedback loops. It was shown that a
substantial proportion of the Arabidopsis genome cycles with phases of peak expression covering the entire day.
Synchronized...
