The response of avian chewing lice (Psocodea: Phthiraptera) loads to early-1900s urbanization in the Western United States Open
Urbanization can alter all types of ecological interactions, including parasitism. For urban-associated hosts, two hypotheses predict the response of parasites to urbanization: dense host populations can increase disease transmission, and/…

Why extreme events matter for species redistribution Open
Climate change is altering species’ distributions globally. Increasing frequency of extreme weather and climate events (EWCEs), including heat waves, droughts, storms, floods, and fires, is one of the hallmarks of climate change. These eve…

Hazardous wildfire smoke events can alter dawn soundscapes in dry forests of central and eastern Washington, United States Open
As global wildfire activity increases, wildlife are facing greater exposure to hazardous smoke pollution – with unknown consequences for biodiversity. Research on the effects of smoke on wild animals is extremely limited, in part due to th…

Wildfire smoke impacts the body condition and capture rates of birds in California Open
Despite the increased frequency with which wildfire smoke now blankets portions of world, the effects of smoke on wildlife, and birds in particular, are largely unknown. We used 2 decades of banding data from the San Francisco Bay Bird Obs…

Using unstructured crowd-sourced data to evaluate urban tolerance of terrestrial native animal species within a California Mega-City Open
In response to biodiversity loss and biotic community homogenization in urbanized landscapes, there are increasing efforts to conserve and increase biodiversity within urban areas. Accordingly, around the world, previously extirpated speci…

Afromontane understory birds increase in body size over four decades Open
Of the myriad responses to climate change, an emerging trend is the widespread decrease in animal body size with warming temperatures. Birds, in particular, have been shown to be decreasing in body size in several areas – most notably the …

Reciprocal knowledge exchange between climate-driven species redistribution and invasion ecology Open
Climate change is driving a rapid but highly variable redistribution of life on Earth, comparable in scale and magnitude to changes historically only seen over tens of thousands of years. Despite increased research effort, the complex mech…

Climate‐driven ‘species‐on‐the‐move’ provide tangible anchors to engage the public on climate change Open
Over recent decades, our understanding of climate change has accelerated greatly, but unfortunately, observable impacts have increased in tandem. Both mitigation and adaptation have not progressed at the level or scale warranted by our col…
