Phenology, or the timing of life history events, can be heterogeneous across biological
communities and landscapes and can vary across a wide variety of spatiotemporal scales …

Quantifying and assessing changes in biological diversity are central aspects of many
ecological studies, yet accurate methods of estimating biological diversity from sampling …

The nonnative hemlock woolly adelgid is steadily killing eastern hemlock trees in many parts
of eastern North America. We summarize impacts of the adelgid on these forest foundation …

Based on a sample of individuals, we focus on inferring the vector of species relative
abundance of an entire assemblage and propose a novel estimator of the complete species …

Loss of foundation tree species rapidly alters ecological processes in forested ecosystems.
Tsuga canadensis, an hypothesized foundation species of eastern North American forests …

Forest insect outbreaks cause large changes in ecosystem structure, composition, and
function. Humans often respond to insect outbreaks by conducting salvage logging, which …

Landscape structure and biotic interactions are closely linked. We identify five aspects of
landscape structure that contribute to the co-occurrence of species and restrict or enable …

We study an integro-difference equation model that describes the spatial dynamics of a
species in an expanding or contracting habitat. We give conditions under which the species …

Global loss of biodiversity and its associated ecosystem services is occurring at an alarming
rate and is predicted to accelerate in the future. Metacommunity theory provides a framework …

Foundation species define and structure ecological communities but are difficult to identify
before they are declining. Yet, their defining role in ecosystems suggests they should be a …
