Aim Stream captures are implicated as drivers of speciation in many groups of lotic fishes. In the southeastern United States, numerous stream‐dwelling animals possess restricted trans‐divide populations at localities where quiescent geologic features intersect drainage divides, suggesting potential evidence for inter‐basin vicariance via stream capture. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive quantitative biogeographi...

Urban forests provide numerous benefits including habitat for wildlife, improving human health, purifying air and water, and preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change. The need to protect and improve our urban forests will only increase as populations increase and cities densify and expand over time. However, urban forest establishment and maintenance is challenging due to a lack of effective policies, delays, la...
