Evidence for Mate Guarding Behavior in the Taylor's Checkerspot Butterfly

Creator:: Bennett, Victoria J., Smith, Winston P., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Discerning the intricacies of mating systems in butterflies can be difficult, particularly when multiple mating strategies are employed and are cryptic and not exclusive. We observed the behavior and habitat use of 113 male Taylor’s checkerspot butterflies (Euphydryas editha taylori). We confirmed that two distinct mating strategies were exhibited; patrolling...

Recreation Specialization and Related Concepts in Leisure Research

Creator:: Needham, Mark D., Scott, David, and Vaske, Jerry J.
Abstract:: More than 40 years have passed since Shafer (1969) challenged the existence of the “average camper.” Recognizing that participants in recreation activities are heterogeneous in their commitments and interests, researchers have emphasized the importance of differentiating users into meaningful homogeneous subgroups. In his seminal article, Bryan (1977) coined the concept...

Activity Substitutability and Degree of Specialization among Deer and Elk Hunters in Multiple States

Creator:: Needham, Mark D. and Vaske, Jerry J.
Abstract:: This article examines relationships between hunter specialization and activity substitutability. Data were obtained from a mail survey of 6,983 deer hunters in eight states and 2,584 elk hunters in three states. Activity substitutability was measured by asking what activity would provide the same satisfaction as deer or elk hunting. Between...

An experimental method for three-dimensional dynamic contact angle analysis

Creator:: Baptista, Diogo, Muszynski, Lech, Gardner, Douglas J., and Atzema, Eisso
Abstract:: Droplet dynamics analysis concerns the measurements of droplet volume, cap and base areas and contact angles, as they change in time to study evaporation, wettability, adhesion and other surface phenomena and properties. In a typical procedure, the two-dimensional measurements are based on a series of images recorded at successive stages...

Implementation of Plan Irregularity Rapid Visual Screening Tool for Wood-Frame, Single-Family Dwellings

Creator:: Lucksiri, K., Miller, T. H., Gupta, R., Pei, S., and van de Lindt, J. W.
Abstract:: A plan irregularity rapid visual screening method for seismic performance assessment of wood-frame, single-family dwellings is presented. Results from 124 samples were compared with (i) building-specific, non-linear time-history analysis, and (ii) FEMA 154 and ASCE 31 Tier 1. Verification using two houses damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake is presented....

The roles of nearest neighbor methods in imputing missing data in forest inventory and monitoring databases

Creator:: Eskelson, Bianca N.I., Temesgen, Hailemariam, Lemay, Valerie, Barrett, Tara M., Crookston, Nicholas L., and Hudak, Andrew T.
Abstract:: Almost universally, forest inventory and monitoring databases are incomplete, ranging from missing data for only a few records and a few variables, common for small land areas, to missing data for many observations and many variables, common for large land areas. For a wide variety of applications, nearest neighbor (NN)...

Amenity landownership, land use change and the re-creation of “working landscapes”

Creator:: Abrams, Jesse and Bliss, John
Abstract:: In recent years the “working landscape” concept has risen to prominence in popular, academic, and policy discourse surrounding conservation of both natural and cultural values in inhabited landscapes. Despite its implied reconciliation of commodity production and environmental protection, this concept remains contested terrain, masking tensions over land use practices and...

Thinning effects on forest productivity: Consequences of preserving old forests and mitigating impacts of fire and drought

Creator:: Law, Beverly E., Hudiburg, Tara W., and Luyssaert, Sebastiaan
Abstract:: Background: Management strategies have been proposed to minimise the effects of climate change on forest resilience. Aims: We investigated the Pacific Northwest US region forest carbon balance under current practices, and changes that may result from management practices proposed for the region’s 34 million ha of forests to mitigate climate...

Rangeland Privatization and the Maasai Experience: Social Capital and the Implications for Traditional Resource Management in Southern Kenya

Creator:: Sundstrom, Shiloh, Tynon, Joanne F., and Western, David
Abstract:: Using qualitative research methods we examined how group ranch privatization and settlement of individual Maasai households across the landscape have affected traditional livestock herding and social capital mechanisms of Maasai livestock herders. This process has altered decision-making processes, social networks, and cooperation of Maasai herders and limited access to water...
