Population genetics of South African Protea L. (Proteaceae) species associated with various pollinator guilds
… traits associated with different pollinator guilds. Suites of specialised floral traits associated with particular pollinators are known as pollination systems or syndromes. However, it is often uncertain how these pollination systems affect gene flow between plant populations, mating system …

Developing Habitat Suitability Criteria for Individual Species and Habitat Guilds in the Shenandoah River Basin
… often-suggested approach has been to use habitat guilds to incorporate the diversity found in these systems. My goal is to determine the feasibility of developing habitat suitability criteria (HSC) for the entire fish assemblage in the North and South Fork Shenandoah River, Virginia, using habitat …

Indirect Effects of Elevated Carbon Dioxide on Members of Three Herbivorous Feeding Guilds on Soybean, Glycine Max
P. japonica prefers damaged leaves grown under elevated CO2 over damaged leaves grown under ambient CO2, which may be the result of increased complexity in volatile compounds in leaves grown under elevated CO2. Increased amounts of flavonols and decreased amounts of isoflavonoids in leaves grown …

Fish ecomorphology: predicting habitat preferences of stream fishes from their body shape
… to predict membership of fishes in habitat guilds, their swimming performance, and habitat preference. Further, it considered methods for choosing a surrogate species to identify habitat of target species. Morphological discriminant functions were developed using morphological traits of …

Characterization of Suitable Habitats for Freshwater Mussels in the Clinch River, Virginia and Tennessee
… Species were grouped into three habitat guilds using corresponding canonical analysis and cluster analysis: fast-flow specialists (FFS), fast-flow generalists (FFG), and slow-flow tolerant (SFT). I used the same data set to develop and test transferability of Habitat Suitability Criteria …

Conservation biological control in a multi-strata agroforestry system
… the response of arthropod pest and natural enemy guilds to variations in shrub layer composition and alley mowing. Shrub composition affected guilds on shrubs but had little effect on arthropods in neighboring apple trees. Pest guilds linked to apple damage were not affected by shrub composition, …

Impacts of elk management and riparian condition on songbirds in Rocky Mountain National Park
… and occupancy of some riparian bird species and guilds was positively correlated with particular vegetation conditions in this ecosystem. Shrub height positively related to both density and occupancy of Dusky Flycatcher. For the Lincoln Sparrow and shrub-nesting guild, occupancy also had a …

Effects Of Patch Size And Matrix Type On Bird Assemblages Within Central Florida Cypress Domes
… the relationship of species richness and bird guilds to patch size and surrounding matrix. I also measured a series of potential covariates for each dome to account for variation among the three size-matrix representatives for each combination. Richness and abundance counts were divided by the …

Influences of Anthropogenic Noise on Flight Initiation Distance, Foraging Behavior, and Feeder Community Structure of Wild Birds
… surveyed 12 songbird species from three foraging guilds, ground foragers, canopy gleaners, and hawking flycatchers, and I predicted FIDs to decrease, remain the same, and increase with noise exposure, respectively. Contrary to expectations, the canopy gleaning and flycatching guilds exhibited …

Habitat tools for assessing instream-flow needs for fishes in the upper Roanoke River, Virginia
… flows. The fish analyses showed that habitat-use guilds of fish species could be effectively defined with aggregated data, i.e., across mesohabitat types or by calculation of fishes' habitat-use means for physical variables. In contrast, unaggregated data (each quadrat considered separately) gave …

Evaluation of native bee nesting rates and beetle community assemblages in the presence of clothianidin in the soil of natural areas
… and trophic interactions between feeding guilds were influenced by clothianidin contamination. These results suggest that neonicotinoid contamination of natural habitats can have a number of environmental consequences for arthropods and that these effects are not always consistent between …
