Global fire regime change is threatening terrestrial biodiversity. Understanding how these changes affect biota is essential to protect biodiversity now and into the future. A targeted examination of the mechanisms through which fire influences populations will help achieve this by enabling comparisons and connections across taxa. Here, we develop a cross‐taxa framework that identifies mechanisms through which fire regimes inf...

In vitro co-culture system for Prunus spp. and Armillaria mellea in phenolic foam rooting matricNARA Subscribed
Armillaria and Desarmillaria spp. are causal agents of a devastating root-borne disease of peach. Breeding resistant rootstock requires a reliable screening tool. An in vitro co-culture screen designed for almond was modified by replacing agar-gelled medium with a more aerated phenolic foam and combining resistant and susceptible rootstocks ( i.e. , common garden experiment) and minimizes variation in inoculum pressure or root...
Frog occupancy of polluted wetlands in urban landscapesNARA Subscribed
Urban sprawl and the rising popularity of water‐sensitive urban design of urban landscapes has led to a global surge in the number of wetlands constructed to collect and treat stormwater runoff in cities. However, contaminants, such as heavy metals and pesticides, in stormwater adversely affect the survival, growth, and reproduction of animals inhabiting these wetlands. A key question is whether wildlife can identify and avoid...
Microscale sulfur cycling in the phototrophic pink berry consortia of the S ippewissett S alt M arshNARA Subscribed
Summary Microbial metabolism is the engine that drives global biogeochemical cycles, yet many key transformations are carried out by microbial consortia over short spatiotemporal scales that elude detection by traditional analytical approaches. We investigate syntrophic sulfur cycling in the ‘pink berry’ consortia of the S ippewissett S alt M arsh through an integrative study at the microbial scale. The pink berries are macros...
Distinguishing whether pathogens are novel or endemic is critical for controlling emerging infectious diseases, an increasing threat to wildlife and human health. To test the endemic vs. novel pathogen hypothesis, we present a unique analysis of intraspecific host‐pathogen phylogenetic concordance of tiger salamanders and an emerging Ranavirus throughout Western North America. There is significant non‐concordance of host and v...
