Feral Swine Behavior Relative to Aerial Gunning in Southern Texas
Feral swine (Sus scrofa) impact resources through their destructive feeding behavior, competition with native wildlife, and impacts to domestic animal agriculture. We studied aerial gunning on feral swine to determine if aerial gunning altered home range and core area sizes, distances between home range centroids, and distances moved by surviving individuals. We collected data before, during, a...
متن کاملA non-native invasive grass increases soil carbon flux in a Hawaiian tropical dry forest
Non-native plants are invading terrestrial ecosystems across the globe, yet little is known about how invasions impact carbon (C) cycling or how these impacts will be influenced by climate change. We quantified the effect of a non-native C4 grass invasion on soil C pools and fluxes in a Hawaiian tropical dry forest over 2 years in which annual precipitation was average (Year 1) and 60% higher t...
متن کاملNative herbivores and plant facilitation mediate the performance and distribution of an invasive exotic grass
1. Exotic plant species have become increasingly prominent features of ecological landscapes throughout the world, and their interactionswith native and exotic taxa in these novel environments may play critical roles inmediating the dynamics of such invasions. 2. Here, we summarize results from comparative and experimental studies that explore the effects of two factors – herbivory and facilita...
متن کاملMechanisms of exclusion of native coastal marsh plants by an invasive grass
1 Determining the mechanisms by which invasive species exclude natives is critical for conserving and restoring native populations in impacted habitats. In recent decades the grass Phragmites australis has been aggressively invading coastal marshes of North America, with monocultures often replacing diverse assemblages of plants. 2 Our objective was to quantify how P. australis modifies the abi...
متن کاملImpacts of Rotational Grazing on Soil Carbon in Native Grass-Based Pastures in Southern Australia
Rotational grazing management strategies have been promoted as a way to improve the sustainability of native grass-based pasture systems. From disturbance ecology theory, rotational grazing relative to continuous grazing can increase pasture productivity by allowing vegetation to recover after short intense grazing periods. This project sought to assess whether soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks ...
