Allen, M. L., L. A. Kammin, L. R. LaBarge. 2024. “First Verified Documentation of a Fisher in Illinois Since the American Civil War.” Prairie Naturalist Notes 56: N15-N19.

• Abstract: Pekania pennanti (Fisher) are mustelids that mainly occupy forested habitats across northern North America. After European colonization, Fisher distribution was halved due to extensive trapping, logging, and habitat conversion for agriculture. Now Fishers are expanding into many suitable portions of their historical distribution, aided by active reintroduction programs, albeit with uneven success. Illinois is one part of the midwestern U.S.A. in which Fishers have not yet re-established themselves, with the last known individuals being documented in the 1850s. Here we report the first verified Fisher in Illinois since that time, killed by a vehicle collision in Rockford, Illinois. This three-year-old male is of unknown origin, but likely from the nearest self-sustaining population in Wisconsin (~190km away). We discuss this finding in the context of what is known of Fisher’s recent expansion and their ability to colonize other portions of midwestern North America.

Deak, A.L., M.S. Lucash, M.R. Coughlan, S. Weiss, and L.C.R. Silva. 2024. “Prescribed Fire Placement Matters More Than Increasing Frequency and Extent in a Simulated Pacific Northwest Landscape.” Ecosphere 15: e4827.

• Abstract: Prescribed fire has been increasingly promoted to reduce wildfire risk and restore fire-adapted ecosystems. Yet, the complexities of forest ecosystem dynamics in response to disturbances, climate change, and drought stress, combined with myriad social and policy barriers, have inhibited widespread implementation. Using the forest succession model LANDIS-II, we investigated the likely impacts of increasing prescribed fire frequency and extent on wildfire severity and forest carbon storage at local and landscape scales. Specifically, we ask how much prescribed fire is required to maintain carbon storage and reduce the severity and extent of wildfires under divergent climate change scenarios? We simulated four prescribed fire scenarios (no prescribed fire, business-as-usual, moderate increase, and large increase) in the Siskiyou Mountains of northwest California and southwest Oregon. At the local site scale, prescribed fires lowered the severity of projected wildfires and maintained approximately the same level of ecosystem carbon storage when reapplied at a ~15-year return interval for 50-year simulations. Increased frequency and extent of prescribed fire decreased the likelihood of aboveground carbon combustion during wildfire events. However, at the landscape scale, prescribed fire did not decrease the projected severity and extent of wildfire, even when large increases (up to 10× the current levels) of prescribed fire were simulated. Prescribed fire was most effective at reducing wildfire severity under a climate change scenario with increased temperature and precipitation and on sites with north-facing aspects and slopes greater than 30°. Our findings suggest that placement matters more than frequency and extent to estimate the effects of prescribed fire, and that prescribed fire alone would not be sufficient to reduce the risk of wildfire and promote carbon sequestration at regional scales in the Siskiyou Mountains. To improve feasibility, we propose targeting areas of high concern or value to decrease the risk of high-severity fire and contribute to meeting climate mitigation and adaptation goals. Our results support strategic and targeted landscape prioritization of fire treatments to reduce wildfire severity and increase the pace and scale of forest restoration in areas of social and ecological importance, highlighting the challenges of using prescribed fire to lower wildfire risk.

• Abstract: The competition for light has long been regarded as a key axis of niche partitioning that promotes forest diversity, but available evidence is contradictory. Despite strong tradeoffs between growth and survival with light, field tests suggest neutral forces govern tree composition across forest gaps and resource use across size classes. Here we integrate scaling and niche theory, and use data from >114,000 woody plants in a tropical, old growth forest to test and predict patterns of niche partitioning with size and light. Consistent with predictions, the relative abundance, production, light capture, and richness of species in life histories with fast growth follow a power law relationship, increasing 1–2 orders of magnitude along a solar and size gradient. Competitive neutrality between size classes emerges above the sapling layer, where increasing access to light is counterbalanced by stronger self-shading. Convergent power law patterns of resource partitioning across taxa and spatial scale suggest general life history tradeoffs drive the organization of diverse communities.

Green, E.T, A.I. Dell, J.A. Crawford, E.G. Biro, D.R. Daversa. 2024. “Trait variation in patchy landscapes: Morphology of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) varies more within ponds than between ponds.” PLoS ONE 19(4): e0299101.

• Abstract: The influence of intraspecific trait variation on species interactions makes trait-based approaches critical to understanding eco-evolutionary processes. Because species occupy habitats that are patchily distributed in space, species interactions are influenced not just by the degree of intraspecific trait variation but also the relative proportion of trait variation that occurs within- versus between-patches. Advancement in trait-based ecology hinges on understanding how trait variation is distributed within and between habitat patches across the landscape. We sampled larval spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) across six spatially discrete ponds to quantify within- and between-pond variation in mass, length, and various metrics associated with their relationship (scaling, body condition, shape). Across all traits, within-pond variation contributed more to total observed morphological variation than between-pond variation. Between-pond variation was not negligible, however, and explained 20–41% of total observed variation in measured traits. Between-pond variation was more pronounced in salamander tail morphology compared to head or body morphology, suggesting that pond-level factors more strongly influence tails than other body parts. We also observed differences in mass-length relationships across ponds, both in terms of scaling slopes and intercepts, though differences in the intercepts were much stronger. Preliminary evidence hinted that newly constructed ponds were a driver of the observed differences in mass-length relationships and morphometrics. General pond-level difference in salamander trait covariation suggest that allometric scaling of morphological traits is context dependent in patchy landscapes. Effects of pond age offer the hypothesis that habitat restoration through pond construction is a driver of variation in trait scaling, which managers may leverage to bolster trait diversity.

Jesper, A.C., S.A. Eckert, S.A. Ballard, J.A. Crawford, and M.J. Dreslik. 2024. “Distribution and drivers of critical overwinter refugia for the Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) in Illinois.” Endangered Species Research 53: 467-480.

• Abstract: The dependency on hibernacula for extended periods presents terrestrial reptiles with the challenge of locating thermally adequate hibernacula each winter. Defining the habitat characteristics of hibernacula is crucial for understanding the overwintering requirements and distributions of hibernacula-dependent reptiles, alongside identifying habitats which warrant special conservation concern. Our objectives were to identify the overwintering habitat characteristics of the imperiled timber rattlesnake Crotalus horridus in Illinois, USA, and to determine the distribution of likely hibernacula habitats throughout the state. Due to the initial sparsity of hibernacula records in Illinois, we adopted an iterative habitat suitability modeling process consisting of 3 distinct rounds of Maxent construction and revision. Each round was informed with updated information from model-guided surveys or by building rapport with in-state naturalists and researchers who knew of additional hibernacula locations. We created our final model using 36 hibernacula and identified slope angle (indicative of rock outcrops and shallow soils), topographical position index, forest patch area, and aspect (decomposed into 2 linearized variables: southness and eastness) as important drivers of C. horridus hibernacula habitat in Illinois. Together, the 5 variables and site surveys suggest the suitable overwintering habitat for C. horridus in Illinois is located on south- to southwest-facing outcrops on upper slopes and ridges of larger forest patches. Such habitat is distributed primarily in southern Illinois and throughout the Mississippi River and Illinois River border counties. Our study adds to the current understanding of the species’ overwintering requirements and provides a foundation for future ecological studies, management, and survey efforts throughout Illinois.

Kessler, E.J., J.A. Crawford, W.E. Peterman, and D.J. Hocking. 2024. “Reproductive ecology of southern Pygmy Salamanders (Desmognathus wrighti) along an elevational gradient. Herpetologica 80: 117-123.

• Abstract: Amphibian populations, including those of lungless salamanders (Plethodontidae), are susceptible to population declines, especially considering current and predicted climate change. Like many organisms, plethodontid salamanders exhibit reproductive plasticity to maximize population growth in response to environmental conditions. A better understanding of the external causes of reproductive plasticity can provide more accurate population models through the explicit incorporation of such drivers. To this end, we sampled Southern Pygmy Salamanders (Desmognathus wrighti) along a 1345-m elevational gradient in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA, to determine the effects of body size and elevation on reproductive investment. Using Bayesian mixed effects models, we assessed whether body size, elevation, or a combination of these factors best explained the probability an individual was gravid, the number of ova in gravid females, and the number of testis lobes in mature males. We found that the interaction of body size and elevation best explained each reproductive measure. Larger females were generally more likely to be gravid, with annual reproduction in fully mature females at low to mid-elevations and roughly biennial reproduction at high elevations. We also found a positive relationship between body size and ova counts at low and mid-elevations, but despite a reduction in reproductive frequency at higher elevations, we found no effect of body size on ova count. In addition, the addition of testis lobes, which has commonly been used as a proxy of age in plethodontid salamanders, occurred at larger body sizes with increasing elevation. Our findings support previous work showing a relationship between body size and reproductive ecology in desmognathine salamanders while providing insight into the complexity of this relationship in the context of elevational clines. Reproductive ecology significantly influences population dynamics; thus, further refinement of these observed patterns and their underlying causes is necessary to advance plethodontid salamander population ecology.
