SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Physical monitoring of an erosional hotspot on a nourished beach: a case study of Ortley Beach, New JerseyNARA Subscribed
Beaches worldwide play an essential role in shore protection under storm conditions. How to identify the threshold beach width for effective shore protection remains largely unresolved due to a scarcity of measured beach profiles with sufficient temporal and spatial resolutions. In this study, weekly to monthly surveys spaced 100 m along the shoreline have been conducted at Ortley Beach, New Jersey since Fall 2023. The survey...
Successful Invasion Into New Environments Without Evidence of Rapid Adaptation by a Predatory Marine GastropodNARA Subscribed
Invasive species with native ranges spanning strong environmental gradients are well suited for examining the roles of selection and population history in rapid adaptation to new habitats, providing insight into potential evolutionary responses to climate change. The Atlantic oyster drill ( Urosalpinx cinerea ) is a marine snail whose native range spans the strongest coastal latitudinal temperature gradient in the world, with...
Metrics and Considerations for Evaluating How Forest Treatments Alter Wildfire Behavior and EffectsNARA Subscribed
The influence of forest treatments on wildfire effects is challenging to interpret. This is, in part, because the impact forest treatments have on wildfire can be slight and variable across many factors. Effectiveness of a treatment also depends on the metric considered. We present and define human–fire interaction, fire behavior, and ecological metrics of forest treatment effects on wildfire and discuss important consideratio...
Bacterial community assembly and antibiotic resistance genes in soils exposed to antibiotics at environmentally relevant concentrationsNARA Subscribed
Understanding how bacterial community assembly and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) respond to antibiotic exposure is essential to deciphering the ecological risk of anthropogenic antibiotic pollution in soils. In this study, three loam soils with different land management (unmanured golf course, dairy‐manured pasture, and swine‐manured cornfield) were spiked with a mixture of 11 antibiotics at the initial concentration of 1...
