Riparian zones are critical for functional integrity of riverscapes and conservation of
riverscape biodiversity. The synergism of intermediate flood-induced disturbances, moist …

Natural landscape heterogeneity and barriers resulting from urbanization can reduce
genetic connectivity between populations. The evolutionary, demographic, and ecological …

Urbanization has the potential to induce major changes in freshwater systems. Expected
increases in human populations will likely amplify these changes and lead to the overall …

Population models depend on reliable estimates of vital rates, yet for many taxa, such
estimates and how they vary in response to spatial or temporal environmental gradients are …

Human‐induced land‐use changes are among the primary causes of ecosystem
degradation and biodiversity loss. Across central Appalachia (USA), mountaintop removal …

Urbanization is among the largest threats to wildlife populations through factors such as
fragmentation, isolation, and habitat destruction. Urban open spaces, such as parks and golf …

Anthropogenic landscapes negatively impact stream habitats by altering hydrologic,
sediment, and nutrient cycling regimes, thereby reducing or displacing populations of …

Life history theory provides a basis for understanding how amphibians persist within
landscapes fragmented by urbanisation. To quantify the life history traits of a population …

Conservation practitioners must contend with an increasing array of threats that affect
biodiversity. Citizen scientists can provide timely and expansive information for addressing …

Pressures of rapid development continue to increase, and recreational activities are
becoming a prominent driving force in many urban wildlife communities. Freshwater turtles …
