Biodiversity is declining at unprecedented rates worldwide. Yet cascading effects of
biodiversity loss on other taxa are largely unknown because baseline data are often …

The decline of early successional and open forests and their wildlife inhabitants has resulted
in increased efforts to understand and conserve these communities. Natural and …

Species intolerant to fire, defined as lacking adaptations needed to establish dominance in a
frequently burned landscape, are found within fire‐prone ecosystems globally. Such species …

Land‐use change is a major cause of wildlife habitat loss. Understanding how changes in
land‐use policies and economic factors can impact future trends in land use and wildlife …

The federally threatened eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi), native to the
southeastern Coastal Plain of the United States, has experienced population declines …

Context Although multi-scale approaches are commonly used to assess wildlife-habitat
relationships, few studies have examined selection at multiple spatial scales within different …

Snakes often occur in species‐rich assemblages, and sympatry is thought to be facilitated
primarily by low diet overlap, not interspecific interactions. We selected, a priori, three …

Background Vector-pathogen dynamics are controlled by fluctuations of potential vector
communities, such as the Culicidae. Assessment of mosquito community diversity and, in …

Understanding the factors that influence the distribution of vectors is critical to assess the risk
of disease transmission across landscapes. For mosquitoes, existing spatial models use …

If population, community, and ecosystem ecology of amphibians and reptiles has a central
problem, it is that the number of individuals one sees (or hears) does not necessarily reflect …
