This study uses 35 years of mark-recapture data to show that hurricane-mediated disturbance positively influences Schaus swallowtail butterfly population sizes.

This study maps phylogenetic diversity and endemism in Astragalus across temperate arid regions, identifying climate factors driving diversity patterns and biogeographic gateways.

This study examines how urbanization affects moth populations in subtropical environments, finding declines in caterpillar biomass and adult abundance, reduced species richness, and trait-based differences in species responses.

The paper identifies SR hotspots and analyzes the distribution of non-RNS mimosoid legumes, finding they correlate with high RPD and specific environmental conditions.
