Early successional changes in coniferous forest small mammal communities following a high‐severity summer wildfire Open
Forest fires in the southern Rocky Mountains are changing due to climate warming and increased fuel loads. Landscape‐scale stand‐replacement fires create extensive treeless swaths without regenerative seed sources, leading to long‐term con…

Co‐mast: Harmonized seed production data for woody plants across <span>US</span> long‐term research sites Open
Plants display a range of temporal patterns of inter‐annual reproduction, from relatively constant seed production to “mast seeding,” the synchronized and highly variable interannual seed production of plants within a population. Previous …

High-Severity Wildfires Alter Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Foraging Assemblage Structure in Montane Coniferous Forests and Grasslands in the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA Open
High-severity wildfires create heterogeneous patterns of vegetation across burned landscapes. While these spatial patterns are well-documented, less is known about the short- and long-term effects of large-scale high-severity wildfires on …

The Relationship Between Maturation Size and Maximum Tree Size From Tropical to Boreal Climates Open
The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a larger size. Due to the prolonged time required to reach maturity…

SEROPREVALENCE, BLOOD CHEMISTRY, AND PATTERNS OF CANINE PARVOVIRUS, DISTEMPER VIRUS, PLAGUE, AND TULAREMIA IN FREE-RANGING COYOTES ( CANIS LATRANS ) IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO, USA Open
Wildlife diseases have implications for ecology, conservation, human health, and health of domestic animals. They may impact wildlife health and population dynamics. Exposure rates of coyotes (Canis latrans) to pathogens such as Yersinia p…

Short-term effects of a high-severity summer wildfire on conifer forest moth (Lepidoptera) communities in New Mexico, USA Open
Forest fires in North America are becoming larger in area and burning with higher severity as a result of climate change and land management practices. High-severity, stand-replacement fires can inflict major changes to forest insect commu…

Heavy Logging Machinery Impacts Soil Physical Properties More than Nematode Communities Open
Mechanized logging equipment causes considerable soil disturbance, but little information is available regarding thresholds for impacts on soil nematodes—critical members of soil foodwebs which perform important ecological functions. We ex…

Influence of Mixed Conifer Forest Thinning and Prescribed Fire on Soil Temperature and Moisture Dynamics in Proximity to Forest Logs: A Case Study in New Mexico, USA Open
Forest management activities often include fuels reduction through mechanized thinning followed by prescribed fire to remove slash. Management prescriptions may include the retention of logs for wildlife habitat and microsites for enhanced…

Linking seed size and number to trait syndromes in trees Open
Aim Our understanding of the mechanisms that maintain forest diversity under changing climate can benefit from knowledge about traits that are closely linked to fitness. We tested whether the link between traits and seed number and seed si…

Globally, tree fecundity exceeds productivity gradients Open
Lack of tree fecundity data across climatic gradients precludes the analysis of how seed supply contributes to global variation in forest regeneration and biotic interactions responsible for biodiversity. A global synthesis of raw seedprod…

North American tree migration paced by climate in the West, lagging in the East Open
Tree fecundity and recruitment have not yet been quantified at scales needed to anticipate biogeographic shifts in response to climate change. By separating their responses, this study shows coherence across species and communities, offeri…

Environmental and endogenous drivers of tree mast production and synchrony in piñon–juniper–oak woodlands of New Mexico Open
Tree masting (synchronous, episodic reproduction) is common worldwide and is hypothesized to be especially important in ecosystems with low species diversity and productivity as in semi‐arid woodlands of the American Southwest. We analyzed…
