Ecology and evolution of invasive maple tree species 

Lamarque, Laurent Jean
Biological invasions represent a major driver of the current decline of biodiversity worldwide and generate expensive management programs. Increasing attention has thus been devoted to the study of invasive species, which ...

The effect of fire disturbance on bee community composition in oak savannah habitat in Southern Ontario, Canada 

Pindar, Alana N.
Determining how bee communities respond to environmental disturbance is crucial for ensuring that the pollination service that bees provide is sustained. Studies have reported that bee communities respond to environmental ...

A Test for Pre-Adapted Phenotypic Plasticity in the Invasive Tree Acer negundo L. 

Lamarque, Laurent J.; Porté, Annabel; Eymeric, Camille; Lasnier, Jean-Baptiste; Lortie, Christopher; Delzon, Sylvain (PLoS ONEPLoS ONE, 2013-09-09)
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism associated with the spread of exotic plants and previous studies have found that invasive species are generally more plastic than co-occurring species. Comparatively, the evolution ...

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: the Importance of Rejection, Power, and Editors in the Practice of Scientific Publishing 

Lortie, Christopher; Allesina, Stefano; Aarssen, Lonnie; Grod, Olyana; Budden, Amber (PLoS ONEPLoS ONE, 2013-12-30)
Peer review is an important element of scientific communication but deserves quantitative examination. We used data from the handling service manuscript Central for ten mid-tier ecology and evolution journals to test whether ...

A checklist for choosing between R packages in ecology and evolution 

Lortie, Christopher; Braun, Jenna; Filazzola, Alessandro; Miguel, Maria Florencia (Wiley, 2020)
The open source and free programming language R is a phenomenal mechanism to address a multiplicity of challenges in ecology and evolution. It is also a complex ecosystem because of the diversity of solutions available to ...

Nursing Back to Health: Shrubs Facilitate the Restoration of Native Forbs with Reductions in Non-Native Competition in an Invaded Arid Shrubland 

Liczner, Amanda Rae (2017-07-27)
Restoring native species to invaded arid ecosystems is challenging as non-native species often limit native species establishment, which limits success. Nurse plant facilitation may be utilized to improve native species ...

Shrubs indirectly increase desert seedbanks through facilitation of the plant community 

Filazzola, Alessandro; Liczner, Amanda; Westphal, Michael; Lortie, Christopher (Public Library of Science, 2019)
The mechanisms supporting positive ecological interactions are important. Foundation species can structure desert biodiversity by facilitating seedbanks of annual plants, but the direct and indirect mechanisms of shrub ...

The dark side of facilitation: native shrubs facilitate exotic annuals more strongly than native annuals in net abundance 

Lucero, Jacob; Noble, Taylor; Haas, Stephanie; Westphal, Michael; Butterfield, H. Scott; Lortie, Christopher (Pensoft, 2019-04)

Micro-Climatic Amelioration in a California Desert: Artificial Shelter versus Shrub Canopy 

Ghaziantafrishi, Nargol (2020-11-13)
Shrubs are structural agents of facilitation, providing benefit to animals that take refuge under their canopy. The central theme of this thesis is how shrubs compare to artificial shelters at reducing ambient temperature ...
