Estimating the magnitude of decline of the Florida torreya (Torreya taxifolia Arn.) Estimating the magnitude of decline of the Florida torreya (Torreya taxifolia Arn.)
Torreya taxifolia is a coniferous tree that is endemic to the 35 km stretch of bluffs and ravines along the east side of the Apalachicola River in northern Florida and adjacent southern Georgia. This formerly locally abundant tree declined during the 1950s and 1960s as a result of disease and is currently on the US Endangered Species list. For sparsely distributed species it can often be...

Population persistence in Florida torreya: Comparing modeled projections of a declining coniferous tree Population persistence in Florida torreya: Comparing modeled projections of a declining coniferous tree
The Florida torreya ( Torreya taxifolia) is a coniferous tree endemic to a 35-km stretch of bluffs and ravines along the east side of the Apalachicola River in northern Florida and southern Georgia. This formerly locally abundant tree has declined as a result of disease during the 1950s and is on the U.S. endangered species list. With no seed production in the wild, this species is...

Linking biodiversity to ecosystem function: Implications for conservation ecology Linking biodiversity to ecosystem function: Implications for conservation ecology
We evaluate the empirical and theoretical support for the hypothesis that a large proportion of native species richness is required to maximize ecosystem stability and sustain function. This assessment is important for conservation strategies because sustenance of ecosystem functions has been used as an argument for the conservation of species. If ecosystem functions are sustained at...
