Seed germination of Sierra Nevada postfire chaparral species Seed germination of Sierra Nevada postfire chaparral species
The California chaparral community has a rich flora of species with different mechanisms for cuing germination to postfire conditions. Here we report further germination experiments that elucidate the response of several widespread shrub species whose germination response was not clear and include other species from the Sierra Nevada, which have not previously been included in...

An efficient strategy to estimate intensity and prevalence: Sampling metacercariae in fishes An efficient strategy to estimate intensity and prevalence: Sampling metacercariae in fishes
Accurate estimates of population-level parameters of parasites, such as prevalence and mean intensity, require large sample sizes. The processing of such samples becomes an overwhelming task when parasites are abundant, as with trematode metacercariae in fishes. In the present study, a subsampling method reduced processing time while maintaining an accurate estimation of metacercariae...
