Spread of North American wind-dispersed trees in future environments. - F1000

Gone with the wind! Or not? Climate variability is expressed also through increases in atmospheric turbulence, and this should enhance the spread of wind-dispersed plant species.

Gill Mortimer's curator insight, March 21, 6:01 AM

Similar carnivore human conflicts are ongoing in the Tusheti region of Georgia, where wolves are responsible for the loss of sheep grazing in the highlands.  A project by NACRES and FFI has shown that effectively trained sheepdogs can reduce these conflicts significantly.  http://www.fauna-flora.org/explore/georgia/

Anna Phillips's comment, March 21, 8:17 PM
Moving away from animal trophy collection is a good thing, but increased tourism in a wildlife sanctuary may also disturb the animals we seek to protect.
