The Pacific Golden Chanterelle (Cantharellus formosus) is a widely sought-after mushroom most abundant in the forests of Washington and Oregon, USA. This project used the species to investigate how accurately the species distribution could be modeled using natural history (herba…
Parasitoids are excellent model systems in addressing fundamental aspects of biology and ecology while offering a high degree of economic and ecological value in regulating the population densities of their host species in both natural and agroecological settings. The single mos…
