Mercury and molt: no strong Hg trend across songbird primaries

Creator:: Ramsden, Danielle K., Low, Katherine E., Jackson, Allyson K., Emery, Colleen, and Eagles-Smith, Collin A.
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) is a bioaccumulative metal that can threaten the health of wild birds. Feathers are commonly used biomonitoring tools for non-lethally estimating Hg exposure in birds because they contain stable Hg concentrations upon completion of feather growth, when blood flow to the feather has stopped. Despite the common use...

Avian Predation on Juvenile Salmonids: Spatial and Temporal Analysis Based on Acoustic and Passive Integrated Transponder Tags

Creator:: Evans, Allen F., Payton, Quinn, Turecek, Aaron, Cramer, Bradley, Collis, Ken, Roby, Daniel D., Loschl, Peter J., Sullivan, Leah, Skalski, John, Weiland, Mark, and Dotson, Curtis
Abstract:: We evaluated the impact of predation on juvenile steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss and yearling and subyearling Chinook Salmon O. tshawytscha by piscivorous waterbirds from 11 different breeding colonies in the Columbia River basin during 2012 and 2014. Fish were tagged with both acoustic tags and PIT tags and were tracked via...

Potential effects of sea-level rise on plant productivity: species-specific responses in northeast Pacific tidal marshes

Creator:: Janousek, Christopher
Abstract:: Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species. Determining species-specific tolerances to inundation is necessary to evaluate sea-level rise (SLR) effects on future marsh plant community composition, quantify organic matter inputs to marsh accretion, and...

What influences the worldwide genetic structure of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)?

Creator:: Alexander, Alana, Steel, Debbie, Hoekzema, Kendra, Mesnick, Sarah L., Engelhaupt, Daniel, Kerr, Iain, Payne, Roger, and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: The interplay of natural selection and genetic drift, influenced by geographic isolation, mating systems and population size, determines patterns of genetic diversity within species. The sperm whale provides an interesting example of a long-lived species with few geographic barriers to dispersal. Worldwide mtDNA diversity is relatively low, but highly structured...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

Resource waves: phenological diversity enhances foraging opportunities for mobile consumers

Creator:: Armstrong, Jonathan B., Takimoto, Gaku, Schindler, Daniel E., Hayes, Matthew M., and Kauffman, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Time can be a limiting constraint for consumers, particularly when resource phenology mediates foraging opportunity. Though a large body of research has explored how resource phenology influences trophic interactions, this work has focused on the topics of trophic mismatch or predator swamping, which typically occur over short periods, at small...

The relative contribution of climate to changes in lesser prairie-chicken abundance

Creator:: Ross, Beth E., Haukos, David, Hagen, Christian, and Pitman, James
Abstract:: Managing for species using current weather patterns fails to incorporate the uncertainty associated with future climatic conditions; without incorporating potential changes in climate into conservation strategies, management and conservation efforts may fall short or waste valuable resources. Understanding the effects of climate change on species in the Great Plains of...

Long-distance migration of prey synchronizes demographic rates of top predators across broad spatial scales

Creator:: Ward, E. J., Dahlheim, M. E., Waite, J. M., Emmons, C. K., Marshall, K. N., Chasco, B. E., and Balcomb, K. C. III
Abstract:: Reproductively and geographically isolated populations of predators may be synchronized by a phenomenon known as the Moran effect—specifically if they exhibit common responses to external processes, such as climate, density dependence (parasites, disease), or prey. Prey has the ability to synchronize predators if geographically isolated predator populations target the same...

Long-term Colonization Of A Subarctic Artificial Reef System In Whittier, Alaska

Creator:: Levy, Charlotte S. and Brown, Eloise J.
Abstract:: Over half of the U.S. coastline is found in Alaska, and the majority of the state’s economic activity occurs along the coast. Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska. The installation of artificial reef (AR) systems can mitigate habitat loss; however, few AR systems have...

Phylotastic! Making tree-of-life knowledge accessible, reusable and convenient

Creator:: Stoltzfus, Arlin, Lapp, Hilmar, Matasci, Naim, Deus, Helena, Sidlauskas, Brian, Zmasek, Christian M., Vaidya, Gaurav, Pontelli, Enrico, Cranston, Karen, Vos, Rutger, Webb, Campbell O, Harmon, Luke J., Pirrung, Megan, O'Meara, Brian, Pennell, Matthew W., Mirarab, Siavash, Rosenberg, Michael S., Balhoff, James P., Bik, Holly M., Heath, Tracy A., Midford, Peter E., Brown, Joseph W., McTavish, Emily Jane, Sukumaran, Jeet, Westneat, Mark, Alfaro, Michael E., Steele, Aaron, and Jordan, Greg
Abstract:: Background: Scientists rarely reuse expert knowledge of phylogeny, in spite of years of effort to assemble a great “Tree of Life” (ToL). A notable exception involves the use of Phylomatic, which provides tools to generate custom phylogenies from a large, pre-computed, expert phylogeny of plant taxa. This suggests great potential...
