Stress in biological invasions: Introduced invasive grey squirrels increase physiological stress in native Eurasian red squirrels
(European Squirrel InitiativeWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-09)
Invasive alien species can cause extinction of native species through processes including predation, interspecific competition for resources or disease‐mediated competition. Increases in stress hormones in vertebrates may ...
Nutrient availability and invasive fish jointly drive community dynamics in an experimental aquatic system
(US Fish and Wildlife ServiceWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-03)
Species invasions increasingly occur alongside other forms of ecosystem change, highlighting the need to understand how invasion outcomes are influenced by environmental factors. Within freshwaters, two of the most widespread ...
Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition ameliorates the decline in tree growth caused by a drier climate
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-02)
Most forest ecosystems are simultaneously affected by concurrent global change drivers. However, when assessing these effects, studies have mainly focused on the responses to single factors and have rarely evaluated the ...
Substituent effects on the oxidation of substituted biphenyl congeners by type II methanotroph strain CSC1
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-05)
The oxidation potential of type II groundwater methanotroph, strain CSC1, expressing soluble methane monooxygenase, was measured in the presence of 10 ortho -substituted biphenyls with varying electronics, sterics, and ...
Colonization from divergent ancestors: glaciation signatures on contemporary patterns of genomic variation in Collared Pikas (Ochotona collaris)
(Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in CanadaWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-07)
Identifying the genetic structure of a species and the factors that drive it is an important first step in modern population management, in part because populations evolving from separate ancestral sources may possess ...
Speciation dynamics during the global radiation of extant bats
(Johns Hopkins University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-06)
Current temporal trends in moth abundance are counter to predicted effects of climate change in an assemblage of subarctic forest moths
(InterceptWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2014-06)
Changes in climate are influencing the distribution and abundance of the world's biota, with significant consequences for biological diversity and ecosystem processes. Recent work has raised concern that populations of ...
Concordance in hippocampal and fecal Nr3c1 methylation is moderated by maternal behavior in the mouse
(The MIT PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2012-12)
Recent advances in genomic technologies now enable a reunion of molecular and evolutionary biology. Researchers investigating naturally living animal populations are thus increasingly able to capitalize upon genomic ...
The geographic mosaic of herbicide resistance evolution in the common morning glory, Ipomoea purpurea: Evidence for resistance hotspots and low genetic differentiation across the landscape
(SpringerWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-09)
Strong human‐mediated selection via herbicide application in agroecosystems has repeatedly led to the evolution of resistance in weedy plants. Although resistance can occur among separate populations of a species across ...
Fishes of the Mio-Pliocene Western Snake River Plain and Vicinity.
(2018-07-31)
Hybridization and introgression permitted gene transfer from Catostomus to Lake Suckers in modern and MioPliocene lakes of Western United States. Lake Sucker genera, Chasmistes, Deltistes, and Xyrauchen, were sympatric ...
