Integrating small mammal personality and population abundance into forest regeneration<b> </b>predictions for a managed, mixed species forest in Maine, USA von Margaret Merz (14054253)

“… We recommend future research focusing on the knowledge gaps we identified and emphasize that our methods lay the groundwork for the collection and implementation of future empirical data needed for more robust forest growth models. Overall, due to the consequences of shifting personality distributions on white pine regeneration, we urge the conservation of behavioral diversity for maintaining healthy ecosystems. …”

“… Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed multiple sources of pollution, while Spearman correlation analysis identified strong associations among PTEs, suggesting common environmental dispersion pathways. This research provides a critical preliminary assessment of the risks associated with these environmental legacies and emphasizes the urgent need for remediation efforts at both local and global scales.  …”
