Cigarette butts may have low toxicity to soil-dwelling invertebrates: Evidence from a land snail
Hussan Gill, Kyler Rogers, Bilal Rehman, John Moynihan, Elizabeth A. Bergey Cigarette butts are a common form of litter that is often deposited on soil, where toxins from butts may affect soil-dwelling [...]
Temporal migration patterns between natal locations of ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) and their Gulf Coast stopover site
Theodore J. Zenzal Jr, Andrea J. Contina, Jeffrey F. Kelly and Frank R. Moore Autumn latitudinal migrations generally exhibit one of two different temporal migration patterns: type 1 where southern populations migrate [...]

Plant genotypic variation and intra-specific diversity trump soil nutrient availability to shape old-field structure and function
Plant genotypic variation and intra-specific diversity trump soil nutrient availability to shape old-field structure and function 1. Individual plant genotypes as well as genotypic diversity can shape the structure and function of ecosystems; [...]
Electromagnetic Model Reliably Predicts Radar Scattering Characteristics of Airborne Organisms
Electromagnetic Model Reliably Predicts Radar Scattering Characteristics of Airborne Organisms The radar scattering characteristics of aerial animals are typically obtained from controlled laboratory measurements of a freshly harvested specimen. These measurements are tedious [...]
Seasonal differences in landbird migration strategies
Migrating birds make strategic decisions at multiple temporal and spatial scales. They must select flight altitudes, speeds, and orientations in order to maintain preferred directions of movement and to minimize energy expenditure and risk. Spring [...]
Bumble Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of Oklahoma: Past and Present Biodiversity
Bumble bees (Bombus Latreille) provide indispensable ecosystem services for natural and agricultural systems by increasing crop yield and quality. With documented bumble bee declines throughout the world, the need for baseline data on these important [...]
Land tenure and landscape change: a comparison of public-private lands in the southern High Plains
Long-term drought in the southern Great Plains increases the vulnerability of coupled human-environment systems at a variety of scales. Developing better understandings of the dynamics at regional scales will become increasingly important as long-established land-use [...]
