A 400-year Tree-ring Chronology from the Tropical Treeline of North America
(2001)High-elevation sites in the tropics may be particularly sensitive to rapid climate change. By sampling treeline populations, I have developed the first extensive (> 300 years) tree-ring chronology in tropical North America. ... -

A machine-learning approach for extending classical wildlife resource selection analyses
(2018)Resource selection functions (RSFs) are tremendously valuable for ecologists and resource managers because they quantify spatial patterns in resource utilization by wildlife, thereby facilitating identification of critical ... -

A review of concentrated flow erosion processes on rangelands: Fundamental understanding and knowledge gaps
(2016)Concentrated flow erosion processes are distinguished from splash and sheetflow processes in their enhanced ability to mobilize and transport large amounts of soil, water and dissolved elements. On rangelands, soil, nutrients ... -

A synthesis of research needs for improving the understanding of atmospheric mercury cycling
(2017)This synthesis identifies future research needs in atmospheric mercury science, based on a series of review papers, as well as recent developments in field data collection, modeling analysis, and emission assessments of ... -

A watershed modeling approach to streamflow reconstruction from tree-ring records
(2008)Insight into long-term changes of streamflow is critical for addressing implications of global warming for sustainable water management. To date, dendrohydrologists have employed sophisticated regression techniques to ... -

Aggregated particles caused by instrument artifact
(2018)Previous studies have indicated that superaggregates, clusters of aggregates of soot primary particles, can be formed in large-scale turbulent fires. Due to lower effective densities, higher porosity, and lower aerodynamic ... -

Antioxidants Protect against Arsenic Induced Mitochondrial Cardio-Toxicity
(2017)Arsenic is a potent cardiovascular toxicant associated with numerous biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases in exposed human populations. Arsenic is also a carcinogen, yet arsenic trioxide is used as a therapeutic agent in ... -

Application of Bayesian robust design model to assess the impacts of a hurricane on shorebird demography
(2018)The increasing use of Bayesian inference in population demography requires rapid advancements in modeling frameworks to approach the rigor and flexibility of the current suite of maximum-likelihood models. We developed an ... -

Arctic biodiversity: increasing richness accompanies shrinking refugia for a cold-associated tundra fauna
(2015)As ancestral biodiversity responded dynamically to late-Quaternary climate changes, so are extant organisms responding to the warming trajectory of the Anthropocene. Ecological predictive modeling, statistical hypothesis ... -

Are Climate-Tree Growth Relationships Changing in North-Central Idaho, U.S.A.?
(2000)An 861-yr Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) tree-ring chronology has been recently developed for the Salmon River Valley, Challis National Forest, Idaho. Its potential for climatic reconstruction is ... -

Arsenic Methylation Capacity and Metabolic Syndrome in the 2013-2014 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
(2018)Arsenic methylation capacity is associated with metabolic syndrome and its components among highly exposed populations. However, this association has not been investigated in low to moderately exposed populations. Therefore, ... -

Biogeochemical recuperation of lowland tropical forest during succession
(2019)High rates of land conversion and land use change have vastly increased the proportion of secondary forest in the lowland tropics relative to mature forest. As secondary forests recover following abandonment, nitrogen (N) ... -

Biomass and Neutral Lipid Production in Geothermal Microalgal Consortia
(2015)Recently, technologies have been developed that offer the possibility of using algal biomass as feedstocks to energy producing systems- in addition to oil-derived fuels (Bird et al., 2011;Bird et al., 2012). Growing native ... -

Building flux capacity: Citizen scientists increase resolution of soil greenhouse gas fluxes
(2018)Though citizen science programs have been broadly successful in diverse scientific fields, their adoption has lagged in some disciplines, including soil science and ecosystem ecology. Collaborations with citizen scientists ... -

Changes in behavior are unable to disrupt a trophic cascade involving a specialist herbivore and its food plant
(2019)Changes in ecological conditions can induce changes in behavior and demography of wild organisms, which in turn may influence population dynamics. Black brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) nesting in colonies on the ... -

Charcoal Increases Microbial Activity in Eastern Sierra Nevada Forest Soils
(2018)Fire is an important component of forests in the western United States. Not only are forests subjected to wildfires, but fire is also an important management tool to reduce fuels loads. Charcoal, a product of fire, can ...
