DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00396
Abstract: Extreme weather events dramatically impact populations of individual insect species but the consequences of such events for entire insect communities are not well documented. We present evidence that late spring frosts and summer drought negatively… read more here.

DOI: 10.3959/trr2019-10a
Abstract: ABSTRACT To investigate drought influences on mixed-severity fire regimes in montane forests of southeastern British Columbia, we developed a Douglas-fir latewood-width chronology and tested its associations with drought records across the fire season. Associations were… read more here.
