Soft coral reproductive phenology along a depth gradient: Can “going deeper” provide a viable refuge?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3760
Abstract: Abstract Many species across a wide range of taxa and habitats display phenological shifts and differences in response to both environmental gradients and climate change. Moreover, the wide‐scale decline of numerous ecosystems is leading to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7529
Abstract: Helicoverpa zea, an economic pest in the southeastern U.S., has evolved practical resistance to Bt Cry toxins in maize and cotton. Insect resistance management (IRM) programs have historically required planting of structured non-Bt maize, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-019-3502-8
Abstract: Bottom-up (e.g. resource quality) and top-down (e.g. predation) factors have strong effects on the fitness and distribution of small herbivores. Herein, we investigated how food quality and refuge offered by macroalgal hosts influence the distribution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04570-2
Abstract: In tropical forests, epiphytes increase habitat complexity and provision services rare to canopy environments, such as water retention, nutrient cycling, and microclimate refuge. These services facilitate species diversity and coexistence in terrestrial ecosystems, and while their utility… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cois.2017.04.007
Abstract: Several strategies involving refuge have been proposed for delaying insect resistance to Bt crops. The report was focused on the unstructured 'natural' refuges that contain plants naturally presented as part of the cropping system in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.02.058
Abstract: Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection of invasive species can be used to inform management decisions by delimiting occupied ranges and estimating detection probabilities. Environmental DNA is shed into the environment through skin cells and bodily… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.151207
Abstract: Abstract Reef ecosystems are structurally complex and characterized by an array of abiotic (e.g., rocks and crevices) and biotic (sessile benthic organisms) physical features, many of which having the potential to act as refuge for… read more here.
