Long-term changes in herbivore community and vegetation impact of wild and domestic herbivores across IcelandNARA Subscribed
Changes in wild and domestic herbivore populations significantly impact extensive grazing systems, particularly in low productive environments, where increasing wild herbivore populations are perceived as a threat to farming. To assess the magnitude of these changes in Iceland, we compiled time series on herbivore populations from 1986 to 2020 and estimated changes in species densities, metabolic biomass, and consumption of pl...
The regional species richness and genetic diversity of A rctic vegetation reflect both past glaciations and current climateNARA Subscribed
Aim The A rctic has experienced marked climatic differences between glacial and interglacial periods and is now subject to a rapidly warming climate. Knowledge of the effects of historical processes on current patterns of diversity may aid predictions of the responses of vegetation to future climate change. We aim to test whether plant species and genetic diversity patterns are correlated with time since deglaciation at region...
Fine‐scale population genetic structure of a wildlife disease vector: the southern house mosquito on the island of HawaiiNARA Subscribed
The southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus , is a widespread tropical and subtropical disease vector. In the Hawaiian Islands, where it was introduced accidentally almost two centuries ago, it is considered the primary vector of avian malaria and pox. Avian malaria in particular has contributed to the extinction and endangerment of Hawaii's native avifauna, and has altered the altitudinal distribution of native bird p...
Bottlenecks and multiple introductions: population genetics of the vector of avian malaria in HawaiiNARA Subscribed
Avian malaria has had a profound impact on the demographics and behaviour of Hawaiian forest birds since its vector, Culex quinquefasciatus the southern house mosquito, was first introduced to Hawaii around 1830. In order to understand the dynamics of the disease in Hawaii and gain insights into the evolution of vector‐mediated parasite–host interactions in general we studied the population genetics of Cx. quinquefasciatus in...
