The fundamental goal of a rare plant translocation is to create self‐sustaining populations with the evolutionary resilience to persist in the long term. Yet, most plant translocation syntheses focus on a few factors influencing short‐term benchmarks of success (e.g., survival and reproduction). Short‐term benchmarks can be misleading when trying to infer future growth and viability because the factors that promote establishme...

Pediatric obesity is a major public health concern. Genetic susceptibility and increased availability of energy-dense food are known risk factors for obesity. However, the extent to which these factors jointly bias behavior and neural circuitry towards increased adiposity in children remains unclear. While undergoing fMRI, 108 children (ages 5-11y) performed a food-specific go/no-go task. Participants were instructed to either...

Individual quota (IQ) management systems in commercial marine fisheries are highly diverse, differing in the security, durability and exclusivity of the harvesting privilege and the transferability of quota units. This diversity in the degree of harvest rights may influence the effectiveness of IQ fisheries to meet management objectives. We conducted a global meta‐analysis of 167 stocks managed under IQs to test whether the st...

Fisheries management based on catch shares – divisions of annual fleet‐wide quotas among individuals or groups – has been strongly supported for their economic benefits, but biological consequences have not been rigorously quantified. We used a global meta‐analysis of 345 stocks to assess whether fisheries under catch shares were more likely to track management targets set for sustainable harvest than fisheries managed only by...

Annual macroinvertebrate sampling was performed from 1994 to 2005 in the Mica Creek Experimental Watershed in northern Idaho to examine the relationship between contemporary timber harvest practices and the structure and diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages. Four years of calibration, 4 years of postroad, and 4 years of postharvest (roads + harvest) data were used to analyze treatment effects. Metrics used to ass...

The inland Pacific Northwest of the United States is influenced by both maritime and continental hydrometeorogical conditions. To date there are limited studies of hydrologic impacts resulting from contemporary timber harvest in this region. Streamflow data were collected since 1991 at the Mica Creek Experimental Watershed (MCEW) in northern Idaho. Treatments were designed to isolate the effects of road construction and two di...
