Demographic response of osprey within the lower Chesapeake Bay to fluctuations in menhaden stock
Forage fish support the largest fisheries in the world and play a vital role in marine food webs by transferring energy from plankton to consumers within higher trophic levels.Growing commercial demand for these species and concern for the impact of over harvest on predator populations has driven a paradigm shift in management objectives from maxim
Lignin concentrations in phloem and outer bark are not associated with resistance to mountain pine beetle among high elevation pines.
A key component in understanding plant-insect interactions is the nature of host defenses.Research on defense traits among Pinus species has focused on specialized metabolites and axial resin ducts, but the role of lignin in defense within diverse systems is unclear.We investigated lignin levels in the outer bark Lady Skirt and phloem of P.longaeva
