A realignment of marine biogeographic provinces with particular reference to fish distributions

Creator:: Briggs, John C. and Bowen, Brian W.
Abstract:: Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time, provinces were based on at least a 10% endemism and nested within biogeographic regions that covered large geographic areas with contrasting biotic...

Effect of age-based and environment-based cues on reproductive investment in Gambusia affinis

Creator:: Billman, Eric J. and Belk, Mark C.
Abstract:: We examined the multivariate life-history trajectories of age 0 and age 1 female Gambusia affinis to determine relative effects of age-based and environment-based cues on reproductive investment. Age 0 females decreased reproductive investment prior to the onset of fall and winter months, while age 1 females increased reproductive investment as...

Effects of Low-Density Feeding on Elk-Fetus Contact Rates on Wyoming Feedgrounds

Creator:: Creech, Tyler G., Cross, Paul C., Scurlock, Brandon M., Maichak, Eric J., Rogerson, Jared D., Henningsen, John C., and Creel, Scott
Abstract:: High seroprevalance for Brucella abortus among elk on Wyoming feedgrounds suggests that supplemental feeding may influence parasite transmission and disease dynamics by altering the rate at which elk contact infectious materials in their environment. We used proximity loggers and video cameras to estimate rates of elk-to-fetus contact (the primary source...

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,...

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...

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...

Catch shares, fisheries, and ecological stewardship: a comparative analysis of resource responses to a rights-based policy instrument

Creator:: Essington, Timothy E., Melnychuk, Michael C., Branch, Trevor A., Heppell, Selina S., Jensen, Olaf P., Link, Jason S., Martell, Steven J. D., Parma, Ana M., Pope, John G., and Smith, Anthony D. M.
Abstract:: Rights-based approaches are potentially promising tools to meet conservation objectives in natural resource management. Here, we evaluated how population status and fishery production respond to catch shares, a rights-based policy instrument in fisheries whereby participants are granted a right to harvest a fraction of the allowable catch. By analyzing time...

Cumulative effects of riparian disturbances along high desert trout streams of the John Day Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Li, Hiram W., Lamberti, Gary A., Pearsons, Todd N., Tait, Cynthia K., Li, Judith L., and Buckhouse, John C.
Abstract:: In a study of cumulative effects of riparian disturbance by grazing on the trophic structure of high desert trout streams, watersheds with greater riparian canopy had higher standing crops of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, lower daily maximum temperatures (range, 16-23°C compared with 26-31°C), and perennial flow. Watershed aspect influenced the...

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...
