Integrating ecosystem and contaminant models to predict the effects of ecosystem fluxes on contaminant dynamics

This paper develops a modeling framework to predict how ecosystem fluxes affect contaminant dynamics across trophic levels, showing that nutrient input and loss rates influence pollutant concentrations differently.

Integrating plant stoichiometry and feeding experiments: state-dependent forage choice and its implications on body mass

This study tests foraging hypotheses in snowshoe hares by linking plant quality variation to feeding choices and body condition under different energetic and nutritional demands.

Comparing global and regional maps of intactness in the boreal region of North America: Implications for conservation planning in one of the world's remaining wilderness areas

The paper compares forest intactness and human impact maps in the boreal region to assess their effectiveness for conservation planning, finding significant variation in how well they capture anthropogenic disturbances.

Forage stoichiometry predicts the home range size of a small terrestrial herbivore

This study shows that forage stoichiometry affects snowshoe hare home range size, with lower quality forage leading to smaller ranges but also reduced spatial heterogeneity.

Modelling the spatial-temporal distributions and associated determining factors of a keystone pelagic fish

The paper models the spatial-temporal distribution of capelin using Maxent, showing seasonal variations in occurrence probabilities and variable importance of oceanographic factors.

On the prevalence of uninformative parameters in statistical models applying model selection in applied ecology

This study examines the prevalence of uninformative parameters in ecological models using AIC, finding that 71.5% of studies likely have such parameters or lack sufficient information to assess them.
