Diversity and Distribution of <i>Phytophthora</i> Species Along an Elevation Gradient in Natural and Semi-Natural Forest Ecosystems in Portugal by Carlo Bregant, Eduardo Batista, Sandra Hilário, Benedetto Teodoro Linaldeddu, Artur Alves

“…Overall, the data obtained highlight the widespread occurrence of <i>P. cinnamomi</i> in natural ecosystems from sea level to mountain habitats. The results of the pathogenicity tests carried out on 2-year-old chestnut plants confirmed the key role of <i>P. cinnamomi</i> in the recrudescence of chestnut ink disease and the additional risk posed by <i>P. pachypleura</i>, <i>P. plurivora</i>, and <i>P. multivora</i> to Portuguese chestnut forests. …”

Unburned habitat essential for amphibian breeding persistence following wildfire by Larissa L. Bailey, Richard Henderson, Wendy A. Estes-Zumpf, Charles C. Rhoades, Ellie Miller, Dominique Lujan, Erin Muths

“…We capitalized on existing pre-fire surveys for anuran species and resurveyed a random subset of wetlands across a gradient of soil burn severity to investigate the short-term effects of wildfire on a relict population of wood frogs in the southern Rocky Mountains. We also investigated whether maps created to support rapid post-fire emergency response activities (i.e., United States Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response program) accurately characterize soil burn severity around small habitat features (i.e., ponds) that serve as important amphibian breeding and rearing habitat. …”
