Scaling Disturbance Instead of Richness to Better Understand Anthropogenic Impacts on Biodiversity
Download2015-01-01
Mayor, S. J., Cahill, J. F., He, F., Boutin, S.
A primary impediment to understanding how species diversity and anthropogenic disturbance are related is that both diversity and disturbance can depend on the scales at which they are sampled. While the scale dependence of diversity estimation has received substantial attention, the scale...

Separate effects of human visitation and touch on plant growth and herbivory in an old-field community
Download2002-01-01
Cahill, J. F., Castelli, J. P., Casper, B. B.
Although animal scientists have long been aware that methods used to measure an experimental system can affect the subject of measurement, similar confounding effects of commonly used field methods have only recently been acknowledged by plant ecologists. Here we demonstrate significant effects...

Short-Term Plant Community Responses to Warming and Defoliation in a Northern Temperate Grassland
Download2011-01-01
Bork, E. W., Cahill, J. F., Deutsch, E. S., Chang, S. X.
Little is known about the short-term impacts of warming on native plant community dynamics in the northern Canadian prairies. This study examined the immediate effects of elevated temperature and defoliation on plant community diversity, composition, and biomass within a native rough fescue...
