Study Snapshot

Dense understory structure in boreal forests plays a significant role in occupancy, extinction, and abundance patterns for vertebrate prey species, suggesting forest management practices promoting dense understory structure may provide climate refugia for these species.

PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)

Sample size24

MethodsObservational

OutcomesBody Mass Index projections

ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.
