Data from: Experimental species removals impact the architecture of pollination networks
Mutualistic networks are key for the creation and maintenance of biodiversity, yet are threatened by global environmental change. Most simulation models assume that network structure remains static after species losses, despite theoretical and empirical reasons to expect dynamic responses. We assess
Data from: The oldest, slowest forests in the world? Exceptional biomass and slow carbon dynamics of Fitzroya cupressoides temperate rainforests in southern Chile
Old-growth temperate rainforests are, per unit area, the largest and most long-lived stores of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere, but their carbon dynamics have rarely been described. The endangered Fitzroya cupressoides forests of southern South America include stands that are probably the oldest
Data from: Environmental controls on canopy foliar N distributions in a neotropical lowland forest
Distributions of foliar nutrients across forest canopies can give insight into their plant functional diversity and improve our understanding of biogeochemical cycling. We used airborne remote sensing and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) to quantify canopy foliar nitrogen (N) across ~164 km2
HC.auto.3pops
This file is a text file in Arelquin input format. It contains autosome SNP genotypes for three groups. Two groups of C. urophasianus (one is GRSG which represents the southern part of the range and the other is BiState which represents the diverged population on the border between California and Ne
Z.3pops.4.arlequin
This is a text file in Arlequin input format and represents Z chromosome data for three groups (2 C. urophasianus - one (GRSG) is the southern part of the range and the other (BiState) is the diverged population on the border between California and Nevada). The third group is Gunnison Sage-grouse.
Data from: Interspecific functional convergence and divergence and intraspecific negative density dependence underlie the seed-to-seedling transition in tropical trees
The seed-to-seedling transition constitutes a critical bottleneck in the life history of plants and represents a major determinant of species composition and abundance. However, we have surprisingly little knowledge regarding the forces driving this ontogenetic transition. Here we utilize informatio

CRP: A Baca County, Colorado perspective
THE Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and conservation compliance provisions of the 1985 Food Security Act have had a dramatic impact in Colorado. As of May 1989, landowners in the state had enrolled more than 1.8 million acres in the CRP. Baca County, in southeastern Colorado, has the greatest num
