Prescribed fire and livestock grazing are used for the management and restoration of native grasslands the world over; however, the effects of these management techniques on ant communities are unclear. We examined the response of ants to these distu

In moving seeds from one location to another, dispersers define the ecological context that a plant will experience throughout its lifetime. Because seed deposition sites may benefit one plant life cycle stage but not others, dispersal may give rise

We present experimental evidence supporting the hypothesis that increased spine length in acacia species is a defense induced by herbivory. Acacia drepanolobium is the dominant tree over large areas of East Africa. Each individual tree is occupied by

Seed-dispersal mutualisms have a fundamental role in regenerating natural communities1,2. Interest in the importance of seed dispersal to plant communities has been heightened by worldwide declines in animal dispersers3,4,5. One view, the ‘keystone

Patterns and consequences of plant disease at the community level have rarely been studied. We surveyed fungal infection in a Great Basin community of perennial shrubs over 4 years. Repeat surveys in fixed plots and along transects showed that diseas

As part of a larger five-year analysis of the behavioral impact of modern management procedures on private liberal arts colleges, data were collectedfrom administrators at twenty-two institutions of various enrollment size, admissions selectivity, an
