Statistical analysis on otolith data of anadromous fishes

Creator:: Gao, Yongwen, Conrad, Robert, Bean, David, and Noakes, David L. G.
Abstract:: Stable oxygen and carbon isotope δ[superscript 18]O and δ[superscript 13]C analyses of otoliths are becoming increasingly common in fisheries science and management. However, little is known about the statistical properties of isotopic data and few attempts have been made to explore appropriate statistical methods that could be used for otolith...

Survival and behavior of juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in two estuaries in Oregon, USA

Creator:: Romer, Jeremy D., Leblanc, Camille A., Clements, Shaun, Ferguson, Jayde A., Kent, Michael L., Noakes, David, and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: Anadromous salmonids are viewed as a prized commodity and cultural symbol throughout the Pacific coast of North America. Unfortunately, several native salmonid populations are threatened or at risk of extinction. Despite this, little is known about the behavior and survival of these fish as the juveniles transition from freshwater to...

Assessing population-level variation in the mitochondrial genome of Euphausia superba using 454 next-generation sequencing

Creator:: Johansson, Mattias, Duda, Elizabeth, Sremba, Angela L., Banks, Michael, and Peterson, William
Abstract:: The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana 1852) is widely distributed throughout the southern ocean, where it provides a key link between primary producers and upper trophic levels and supports a major commercial fishery. Despite its ecological and commercial importance, genetic population structure of the Antarctic kill remains poorly described. In...

Associations between forest fragmentation patterns and genetic structure in Pfrimer’s Parakeet (Pyrrhura pfrimeri), an endangered endemic to central Brazil’s dry forests

Creator:: Miller, M. P., Bianchi, C. A., Mullins, T. D., and Haig, S. M.
Abstract:: When habitat becomes fragmented, populations of species may become increasingly isolated. In the absence of habitat corridors, genetic structure may develop and populations risk reductions in genetic diversity from increased genetic drift and inbreeding. Deforestation of the Cerrado biome of Brazil, particularly of the dry forests within the Paran River...

Reducing Impacts of Double-crested Cormorants to Natural Resources in Central New York: A Review of a Collaborative Research, Management, and Monitoring Program

Creator:: DeVault, Travis L., Chipman, Richard B., Barras, Scott C., Taylor, Jimmy D., Cranker, Carl P. III, Cranker, Elizabeth M., and Farquhar, James F.
Abstract:: Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have used central New York waters for breeding and stopover habitats during migration since 1984. In response to public concern over Oneida Lake, the United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation initiated an integrated research, management and...

Developmental rate: A unifying mechanism for sympatric divergence in postglacial fishes?

Creator:: Mcphee, Megan V., Noakes, David L. G., and Allendorf, Fred W.
Abstract:: Morphologically divergent ecotypes arise in fish populations on postglacial time scales, and resource polymorphisms are often invoked to explain their origin. However, genetic recombination can constrain the ability of divergent selection to produce reproductive isolation in sympatry. Recombination breaks up favorable combinations of traits (”adaptive suites”) if individual traits are...

Patterns of color phase indicate spawn timing at a Nassau grouper Epinephelus striatus spawning aggregation

Creator:: Archer, Stephanie K., Heppell, Scott A., Semmens, Brice X., Pattengill-Semmens, Christy V., Bush, Phillippe G., Mccoy, Croy M., and Johnson, Bradley C.
Abstract:: Nassau grouper Epinephelus striatus are a large bodied, top level predator that is ecologically important throughout the Caribbean. Although typically solitary, Nassau grouper form large annual spawning aggregations at predictable times in specific locations. In 2003, The Cayman Islands Marine Conservation Board established protection for a newly rediscovered Nassau grouper...

Effects of water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate emergence: Unexpected results for three holometabolous species

Creator:: Brown, P. D., Wooster, D., Johnson, S. L., and DeBano, S. J.
Abstract:: Small, low-head diversion dams are capable of withdrawing much of the flow of a river, often resulting in elevated water temperatures. Accelerated growth and development of aquatic invertebrates has been demonstrated in warmer temperatures, suggesting that the timing of insect emergence and adult body size may be significantly altered by...

Arrhinolemur scalabrinii Ameghino, 1898, of the late Miocene - a taxonomic journey from the Mammalia to the Anostomidae (Ostariophysi: Characiformes)

Creator:: Bogan, Sergio, Sidlauskas, Brian, Vari, Richard P., and Agnolin, Federico
Abstract:: The fossil species Arrhinolemur scalabrinii, which was described from late Miocene deposits of Entre Ríos, Argentina, is reevaluated. Whereas the species was originally placed in the Primates (Mammalia) and later made the unique member of the order Arrhinolemuroidea within the Mammalia, our analysis indicates that the specimen is rather a...

Short-term responses of native bees to livestock and implications for managing ecosystem services in grasslands

Creator:: Kimoto, Chiho, DeBano, Sandra J., Thorp, Robbin W., Taylor, Robert V., Schmalz, Heidi, DelCurto, Timothy, Johnson, Tracey, Kennedy, Patricia L., and Rao, Sujaya
Abstract:: Rangelands are significant providers of ecosystem services in agroecosystems world‐wide. Yet few studies have investigated how different intensities of livestock grazing impact one important provider of these ecosystem services—native bees. We conducted the first large‐scale manipulative study on the effect of a gradient of livestock grazing intensities on native bees...
