DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0408
Abstract: Extreme weather events are among the most critical aspects of climate change, but our understanding of their impacts on biological populations remains limited. Here, we exploit the rare opportunity provided by the availability of concurrent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0269407
Abstract: Large predators often are believed to cause declines in hunter harvests of ungulates due to direct competition for prey with hunters. In Alberta, predators of elk (Cervus elaphus), including grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), cougar (Puma… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13020154
Abstract: Simple Summary Soybean agroecosystems in the Midsouth support an assorted insect community. Louisiana soybean is heavily managed by growers, and the subsequent effect on residing arthropod populations is not well understood. For sustainable management of… read more here.
