Single-site experiments have demonstrated detritus quality in wetlands can have strongly negative, neutral, and even positive influences on wildlife. However, an examination of the influence of detritus quality across several regions is lacking and can provide information on whether impacts from variation in detritus quality are consistent across species with wide ranges. To address this gap in...

INKAGE estimates in autotetraploids are more complicated than in diploids for three reasons outlined by FISHER (1949) : 1) The multiplicity of segregating genotypes-for IWO loci with two alleles at each there are 19 doubly heterogenic genotypes in an autotetraploid, compared with only two in a diploid. 2) The eleven possible modes of gamete formation, compared with only two in diploidstetraploi...

Pore water and solid phase samples were collected from the upper 50 cm of a peat profile at four sites within a 10 m area in Kleinstuck Marsh, a minerotropic fen located in Kalamazoo, MI. Although the chosen sites are in close proximity to each other, they differ with respect to vegetation species and density. Pore water analyses for a suite of redox sensitive species (pH, alkalinity, dissolved...

The fossil record of Lythrum is scarce and every new find brings an extra piece the puzzle to obscure phytogeographic history this genus. pollen unique has potential be recognized in palynological assemblages. Therefore, few pre-Holocene records are all described from North America, Russia, Europe. European both most numerous geologically younger than those other parts Northern Hemisphere. Earl...

The degree to which biocontrol agents impact invasive plants varies widely across landscapes, often for unknown reasons. Understanding this variability can help optimize invasive species management while also informing our understanding of trophic linkages. To address these issues, we tested three hypotheses with contrasting predictions regarding the likelihood of biocontrol success. (1) The bi...
