The influence of provisioning on animal-mediated seed dispersal doi.org/10.1111/oik.08… @WileyEcolEvol @NordicOikos @CharlesKwit #removal #germination #plant #ecology #community #change #provisioning
New paper by @chelseamiller_9 @CharlesKwit Reproductive traits explain occupancy of predicted distributions in a genus of eastern N. American understory herbs. #Trillium #distributions are partly explained by flower type, related to #seeddispersal ability onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…
Globally, humans provide food to #wildlife. Intentionally, in bird feeders, unintentionally in plantations or garbage dumps. New study by Asmita Sengupta, Kim McConkey & @CharlesKwit shows how this affects the role of wildlife as #seed dispersers. bit.ly/3thK5yM
We're searching for a #wildlife M.S. student to join the lab & work with bog turtles. Applications due by 1 April. For more info, see utianews.tennessee.edu/wp-content/upl… Please RT! @CharlesKwit
New research out in @InsSociaux : Lash et al. investigated whether sanguinarine, a myrmecochore plant-produced antimicrobial chemical, influences the survival and foraging behavior of #ants. You can read this latest article here: rdcu.be/caBY6
This #FeatureFriday we are highlighting @CharlesKwit and his Wildlife Vegetation class. Service-learning based courses, like FWF 325S, have the potential to enhance academic learning, promote civic responsiveness, and strengthen communities. Learn more: teaching.utk.edu/servicelearnin…
