Exotic tree diseases have direct impacts on their host and may have indirect effects on native fauna that rely on host tree species. This paper reports on relative preference for European beech [Fagus sylvatica (L.)] and sugar maple [Acer saccharum (

Analyses of the annual seed set taken from 208 shrubs of Vaccinium corymbosum at six locations in eastern North American from 1978 to 1999, showed that at each location, a group of individual plants retained the same rank among the others in the numb

Ecologists have come to appreciate that plant genotype can affect the success of restoration efforts, but the role of plant symbionts has received less attention. Epichloe-type endophytic fungi (EF) grow in the aboveground tissues of most plants and

Flowers are expected to be under strong selection pressure to be attractive to pollinators. Yet, floral traits that serve in pollinator attraction may inadvertently attract animals that consume flowers. We expected animals to utilize floral cues in t

Several aspects of the reproductive ecology of the hibiscus seed beetle were investigated during summer 2003 and the succeeding winter and spring. Throughout the flowering period that extended from late Jul. to early Sept., aggregations of adult hibi

After defoliation occurs leaf photosynthetic rate (Pn) can increase, decrease or remain unchanged relative to control uninjured leaves depending on the plant species. With common milkweed Asclepias syriaca (Asclepiadaceae) we conducted 27 experiments

Tamarix ramosissima has caused dramatic morphological changes to riparian ecosystems and their bank structures over the last century throughout the southwestern United States. Growing as either small trees or dense stands of shoots, Tamarix species d
