Distribution and diet of Central American Clouded Tiger Cat Leopardus pardinoides oncilla via noninvasive genetics

Torrey W. Rodgers, Roberto Salom‐Pérez, Stephanny Arroyo-Arce, Erick Viquez-Alvarado et autres

Abstract The Clouded Tiger Cat Leopardus pardinoides is a recently recognized Neotropical species for which ecological and natural history data are sparse. Knowledge of species distribution and elevational range are largely based upon camera trap studies, and its diet has not been …

An efficient iDNA method for surveying rainforest mammals with carrion flies

Torrey W. Rodgers, Arianna Basto, Raider Castro, Erin Marcela Rivera Groves et autres

Metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA derived from invertebrates (iDNA) is a promising method for monitoring of mammal assemblages. However, optimization of field and laboratory methods for efficient and economical sampling and analysis is needed. We used metabarcoding of carrion flies to survey for …

Mosaic of somatic mutations in one of Earth’s largest organisms, Pando

Rozenn M. Pineau, Karen E. Mock, Jesse Morris, Vachel A. Kraklow et autres

While evolutionary biology traditionally focuses on the spread of mutations within populations, the dynamics of mutational spread within individuals, particularly in long-lived clonally-spreading organisms, remain poorly understood. Here we examine the genetic structure of ‘Pando’, Earth’s largest known quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) …

Growth and Relative Survival of Aspen Seedling Outplanting Following High Severity Wildfire in the Southwest

Sarah M Kapel, Larissa L. Yocom, Karen E. Mock, Owen T. Burney

Aspen stands (Populus tremuloides Michx.) are declining in western U.S. forests due to drought, changing climate, and altered disturbance regimes. Management of aspen has focused on promoting vegetative suckering, which requires viable rootstock. With increasing wildfire frequency and severity in the West, …

Extraction-free iDNA metabarcoding of small dung beetles is an efficient method for surveying arboreal mammals in tropical forests

Torrey W. Rodgers, Arianna Basto, Raider Castro, Erin Marcela Rivera Groves et autres

Abstract Surveying mammals in tropical rainforests, particularly those that inhabit the rainforest canopy, can be challenging. We tested a novel method for detecting rainforest mammals with metabarcoding of iDNA at Los Amigos Biological Station in the Peruvian Amazon. We used an extraction-free, …

Characterizing genetic adaptations and plastic stress responses within a transcontinental North American keystone species

Roos Goessen, Nathalie Isabel, Christian Wehenkel, Eliana Gonzales‐Vigil et autres

Local adaptation can lead to the intraspecific variation in a species' genetic makeup, shaping both its physiological and morphological traits as well as its molecular responses. In this study, we assessed variation in key functional leaf traits, such as stomata density, carbon …

A Degenerate Primer Set for eDNA Metabarcoding of Freshwater Amphibians, Turtles and Fish

Torrey W. Rodgers, John R. Olson, Charles P. Hawkins, Karen E. Mock

ABSTRACT Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the detection of aquatic species across large geographic scales. However, the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding across taxa is marker‐dependent, often requiring multiple markers to detect divergent taxonomic groups. Here, we introduce a re‐designed metabarcoding …

Experiments to enhance post-fire aspen seedling survival and growth

Larissa L. Yocom, Mark R. Kreider, Owen T. Burney, Tammy Parsons et autres

Abstract Aspen forests provide wildlife, watershed, and aesthetic value, and the potential for reduced fire occurrence, behavior, and severity. There is interest in planting aspen to achieve various management objectives. However, few studies have investigated the optimal conditions for aspen seedlings in …
