Use of an exotic host plant shifts immunity, chemical defense, and viral burden in wild populations of a specialist insect herbivore
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8723
Abstract: Abstract Defense against natural enemies constitutes an important driver of herbivore host range evolution in the wild. Populations of the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly, Euphydryas phaeton (Nymphalidae), have recently incorporated an exotic plant, Plantago lanceolata (Plantaginaceae),… read more here.

TDFCAM: A method for estimating stable isotope trophic discrimination in wild populations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9709
Abstract: Abstract Stable isotope mixing models (SIMMs) are widely used for characterizing wild animal diets. Such models rely upon using accurate trophic discrimination factors (TDFs) to account for the digestion, incorporation, and assimilation of food. Existing… read more here.

Joint estimation of growth and survival from mark-recapture data to improve estimates of senescence in wild populations: Comment.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3232
Abstract: The presence and form of senescence in wild populations is of broad theoretical interest (e.g., Cohen 2015, Nussey et al. 2013), and mortality schedules have obvious practical implications for constructing demographic models for ecological research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10811-019-01987-3
Abstract: This study quantified the spatial variation of endophyte infections in wild populations of commercially important Chondrus ocellatus in Korea. We examined the variation of infection across four locations, two tidal heights and life-history stage (gametophyte… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022000671
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Parasites can significantly influence the ecology, behaviour and physiology of their hosts sometimes with remarkable effects on their survivorship. However, endemic parasites or those not associated with obvious clinical disease have been partly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-22878-6
Abstract: The natural history of model organisms is often overlooked despite its importance to correctly interpret the outcome of laboratory studies. Ageing is particularly understudied in natural populations. To address this gap, we present lifetime demographic… read more here.

Estimated six per cent loss of genetic variation in wild populations since the industrial revolution
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Evolutionary Applications"
DOI: 10.1111/eva.12810
Abstract: Genetic variation is fundamental to population fitness and adaptation to environmental change. Human activities are driving declines in many wild populations and could have similar effects on genetic variation. Despite the importance of estimating such… read more here.

Multiple decades of stocking has resulted in limited hatchery introgression in wild brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations of Nova Scotia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Evolutionary Applications"
DOI: 10.1111/eva.12923
Abstract: Many populations of freshwater fishes are threatened with losses, and increasingly, the release of hatchery individuals is one strategy being implemented to support wild populations. However, stocking of hatchery individuals may pose long‐term threats to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.12687
Abstract: Transplantation of nursery-farmed corals is a primary management tool for restoration of degraded coral reefs. However, there have been concerns about the potential loss of genetic diversity in nurseries due to asexual propagation methods used… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfas-2017-0386
Abstract: The escape of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from aquaculture facilities can result in both negative genetic and ecological interactions with wild populations, yet the ability to predict the associated risk to wild populations has remained… read more here.
