To study pollination networks in a changing environment, we need accurate, high-throughput methods. Previous studies have shown that more highly resolved can be constructed by studying pollen loads taken from bees, relative to field observations. DNA metabarcoding potentially allows for faster and finer-scale taxonomic resolution of compared traditional approaches (e.g., light microscopy), but has not been applied networks.We sampled 38 bee species collected Florida sites differing forest...
Global wildfire activity has increased since the 1970s and is projected to intensify throughout 21st century. Wildfires change composition biodegradability of soil organic matter (SOM) which contains nutrients that fuel microbial metabolism. Though persistent forms SOM often increase postfire, response more biodegradable remains unclear. Here we simulated severe wildfires through a controlled "pyrocosm" approach identify sources characterize metabolome immediately postfire. Using amplicon...
In this paper we explore the potential of academic podcasting to effect positive change within academia and between society. Building on concept “epistemic living spaces,” consider how can evaluate what is legitimate knowledge methods for production, who has access privileges power, nature our connections with other partners, experience constraints opportunities space time. We conclude by offering a guide others are looking develop their own projects discuss be formalized as mainstream...
In 2006, Walker et al. published an article titled, “A Handful of Heuristics and Some Propositions for Understanding Resilience in Social-ecological Systems.” The was incorporated into the <em>Ecology Society</em> special feature, Exploring Social-Ecological Systems. identified five heuristics posed 14 propositions understanding resilience social-ecological systems. At time, authors hoped paper would promote experimentation, critique, application these ideas systems research. To determine...
Abstract Solutions to global problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss require educational frameworks accompanying teaching resources that are theory‐based, interdisciplinary, accessible broad undergraduate graduate student audiences. Ecological resilience theory (ERT) is a framework with established interdisciplinary application complex problems, but despite an emphasis on the utility of in national higher education frameworks, we found many current ecology textbooks incorporate...
Despite conservation efforts in the U.S. Great Plains, woody species have continued to expand at an unprecedented rate, threatening key ecosystem services and resilience. Cross-scale monitoring of these grasslands is successful integrative management strategies. In this study we measured plant optical traits derived from hyperspectral proximal sensing techniques with a field spectrometer, coupled field-based measurements, including fluorescence chlorophyll content, determine impacts...

Wildfires in the western US are increasing frequency, size, and severity. These disturbances alter soil microbiome structure function, with greater fire severity leading to more pronounced impacts bacterial, archaeal, fungal communities. changes have implications for provisioning of microbially-mediated ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration, clean water supplies) typically associated forested watersheds. Challenges sampling wildfire-impacted areas immediately post-burn limited our...
