5. [Article] Convergence of Microclimate in Residential Landscapes Across Diverse Cities in the United States
Context The urban heat island (UHI) is a welldocumented pattern of warming in cities relative to rural areas. Most UHI research utilizes remote sensing methods at large scales, or climate sensors in single ...Citation -
6. [Article] Defining Conservation Priorities for Freshwater Fishes According to Taxonomic, Functional, and Phylogenetic Diversity
To date, the predominant use of systematic conservation planning has been to evaluate and conserve areas of high terrestrial biodiversity. Although studies in freshwater ecosystems have received recent ...Citation -
The New Zealand mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1843) is a common invasive species in fresh and brackish water ecosystems in Europe, Australia, Japan, and North America. In some invaded habitats, ...

8. [Article] Biotic Resistance to Invasion: Native Predator Limits Abundance and Distribution of an Introduced Crab
Introduced species frequently escape the natural enemies (predators, competitors, and parasites) that limit their distribution and abundance in the native range. This reduction in native predators, competitors, ...Citation -
9. [Article] Climate-Suitable Planting as a Strategy for Maintaining Forest Productivity and Functional Diversity
Within the time frame of the longevity of tree species, climate change will change faster than the ability of natural tree migration. Migration lags may result in reduced productivity and reduced diversity ...Citation -
10. [Article] Complex Interactions Between Regional Dispersal of Native Taxa and an Invasive Species
In the event of an environmental disturbance, dispersal of native taxa may provide species and genetic diversity to ecosystems, increasing the likelihood that there will be species and genotypes present ...Citation
