Spatiotemporal Analyses of Tornado Risk and Exposure in the Contiguous United States: A Modeling Study
(2019)Tornadoes represent a significant threat to both life and property across the United States. It is unclear exactly how climate change may influence the occurrence and intensity of small-scale phenomenon (below the resolution ... -
Species distributions and trait-environment correlations: Implications for the evolutionary ecology of crayfish (Decapoda: Cambaridae)
(2014-07)Crayfish occur on every continent, except for Antarctica and Africa excluding Madagascar, and are a very diverse group of freshwater crustaceans with over 600 species. Crayfish are keystone species, ecosystems engineers, ... -
Spring temperatures influence selection on breeding date and the potential for phenological mismatch in a migratory bird
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-09-15)Climate change has affected the seasonal phenology of a variety of taxa, including that of migratory birds and their critical food resources. However, whether climate-induced changes in breeding phenology affect individual ... -
Telesis 2019
(2019)Front Matter: Telesis editor Emily Hays offers thanks to supporters, as well as an introduction to the issue. This section also includes the table of contents. -
Thermal patterns constrain diurnal behavior of a ground-dwelling bird
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-11-12)Recently, gaining knowledge about thermal refuges for vulnerable species has been a major focal point of ecological studies, and this focus has been heightened by predicted temperature increases associated with global ... -
Using a historic drought and high-heat event to validate thermal exposure predictions for ground-dwelling birds
(Wiley Open Access, 2017-07-08)Deviations from typical environmental conditions can provide insight into how organisms may respond to future weather extremes predicted by climate modeling. During an episodic and multimonth heat wave event (i.e., ambient ... -
Using regional climate projections to guide grassland community restoration in the face of climate change
(Frontiers Media, 2017-05-09)Grassland loss has been extensive worldwide, endangering the associated biodiversity and human well-being that are both dependent on these ecosystems. Ecologists have developed approaches to restore grassland communities ... -
What kills trees? Drivers, mechanisms, and timing of climate-induced tree mortality
(2021-05)In recent decades, drought-induced tree mortality has been observed on every forested continent of the planet. This is of great concern, as trees support some of the most biodiverse communities on Earth, are keystones in ...
