Experimental evaluation of how biological invasions and climate change interact to alter the vertical assembly of an amphibian community
This paper uses a novel experimental system to show how an antagonistic invasive species and climate-induced drought may act jointly to affect the vertical assembly of a common treefrog community in the Southeastern USA.

Large, old trees define the vertical, horizontal, and seasonal distributions of a poison frog
This paper shows the importance of large, dominant, old-growth trees to sensitive arboreal poison frogs in tropical ecosystems, by providing core habitat that species use intermittently across seasons.

Prey Size and Feeding Rate Do Not Influence Trophic Morphology of Juvenile Water Snakes (Nerodia sipedon)
This paper used feeding experiments to test the hypothesis that trophic morphology of common watersnakes is influenced by the size of prey it consumes, by way of phenotypic plasticity.
