Abstract: Abstract Warming climate in U.S. forests may limit future viability of dominant high-elevation species at their lower elevation range limits but favor more drought-adapted sympatric species, potentially contributing to species distribution changes. Adaptive management may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118577
Abstract: Abstract Bark beetles are keystone species that can alter the structure and function of forested ecosystems, yet the mechanisms underlying host selection and successful colonization remain poorly understood for most species. Comparison of closely related… read more here.
