Causes of synchronous flowering in Astragalus scaphoides, and iteroparous perennial plant by Crone, Elizabeth E., Lesica, Peter

“…Many plant populations reproduce synchronously over time. Hypotheses to explain reproductive synchrony have typically been based on evolutionary advantages of…”

dynamics of carbon-nutrient balance: effects of cottonwood acclimation to short-and long-term shade on beetle feeding preferences by Crone, E.E, Jones, C.G

“…The carbon-nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH) predicts that shading should increase leaf palatability to herbivores by decreasing concentrations of carbon…”

The role of transient dynamics in stochastic population growth for nine perennial plants by Ellis, Martha M, Crone, Elizabeth E

“…Most populations exist in variable environments. Two sets of theory have been developed to address this variability. Stochastic dynamics focus on variation in…”

Predicting insect phenology across space and time by HODGSON, J. A., THOMAS, C. D., OLIVER, T. H., ANDERSON, B. J., BRERETON, T. M., CRONE, E. E.

“…Many species appear to be undergoing shifts in phenology, arising from climate change. To predict the direction and magnitude of future changes requires an…”

Fire and mice: Seed predation moderates fire's influence on conifer recruitment by Zwolak, Rafa, Pearson, Dean E, Ortega, Yvette K, Crone, Elizabeth E

“…In fire-adapted ecosystems, fire is presumed to be the dominant ecological force, and little is known about how consumer interactions influence forest…”

Disappearing plants: why they hide and how they return by Gremer, Jennifer R, Sala, Anna, Crone, Elizabeth E

“…Prolonged dormancy is a life-history stage in which mature plants fail to resprout for one or more growing seasons and instead remain alive belowground…”

Edge-Mediated Dispersal Behavior in a Prairie Butterfly by Schultz, Cheryl B., Crone, Elizabeth E.

“…Animal responses to habitat boundaries will influence the effects of habitat fragmentation on population dynamics. Although this is an intuitive and often…”

IS SURVIVORSHIP A BETTER FITNESS SURROGATE THAN FECUNDITY? by Crone, Elizabeth E

“…Although fitness depends on both survivorship and fecundity, we tend to assume fecundity relates to fitness more directly than survivorship. In fact, several…”

Old models explain new observations of butterfly movement at patch edges by Crone, Elizabeth E, Schultz, Cheryl B

“…Understanding movement in heterogeneous environments is central to predicting how landscape changes affect animal populations. Several recent studies point out…”

Landscape Restoration: Moving from Generalities to Methodologies by HOLL, KAREN D, CRONE, ELIZABETH E, SCHULTZ, CHERYL B

“…Large-scale, landscape-level restoration actions are widely implemented but receive little attention from academic ecologists. We review the methods used to…”

Patch Size and Connectivity Thresholds for Butterfly Habitat Restoration by SCHULTZ, CHERYL B., CRONE, ELIZABETH E.

“…Recovery of endangered species in highly fragmented habitats often requires habitat restoration. Selection of restoration sites typically involves too many…”

impact of invasive grasses on the population growth of Anemone patens, a long-lived native forb by Williams, Jennifer L., Crone, Elizabeth E.

“…Negative impacts of invasive plants on natives have been well documented, but much less is known about whether invasive plants can cause population level…”

Testing Simple Indices of Habitat Proximity by Winfree, Rachael, Dushoff, Jonathan, Crone, Elizabeth E., Schultz, Cheryl B., Budny, Robert V., Williams, Neal M., Kremen, Claire

“…Simple measures of habitat proximity made primarily on the basis of land cover are widely used in the ecological literature to infer habitat connectivity, or…”

Orchids do not pay costs at emergence for prolonged dormancy by Jääkäälääniemi, Anne, Crone, Elizabeth E, Näärhi, Paavo, Tuomi, Juha

“…In plants, prolonged dormancy is often considered a response to resource depletion or environmental stress that comes at a fitness cost. However, apparent…”
