    • Improbable but true: the invasive inbreeding ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus morigerus has generalist genotypes 

      Andersen, Hanne Flåten; Jordal, Bjarte Henry; Kambestad, Marius; Kirkendall, Lawrence R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-01)
      The wide distribution and dominance of invasive inbreeding species in many forest ecosystems seems paradoxical in face of their limited genetic variation. Successful establishment of invasive species in new areas is ...

    • Massive structural and compositional changes over two decades in forest fragments near Kampala, Uganda 

      Bulafu, Collins Edward; Baranga, Deborah; Mucunguzi, Patrick; Telford, Richard; Vandvik, Vigdis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      Private forests harbor considerable biodiversity, however, they are under greater threat than reserved areas, particularly from urbanization, agriculture, and intense exploitation for timber and fuel wood. The extent to ...
