An Integrated Approach to Gauge the Effects of Global Climate Change on Headwater Stream Ecosystems

Creator:

Bury, Gwendolynn W.

Abstract:

Climate change is predicted to affect ecosystems, including systems already stressed by human impacts. One ecosystem that is already highly impacted by human land use is the cold headwater stream system of the Pacific Northwest. One method of assessing the function of an ecosystem is by using an indicator species....

Grazer-resource Behavior, Interactions, and Feedbacks Control Kelp-forest Dynamics and Stability

Creator:

Randell, Zachary H.

Abstract:

How the direct and indirect effects of species interactions cascade to affect community structure, functioning, and stability is a fundamental question in ecology. In temperate kelp forests, species interactions, in conjunction with environmental processes, produce rich spatiotemporal dynamics. Arguably the most dramatic of these are abrupt shifts in community state,...

Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

Creator:

Taylor, David S.

Abstract:

Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...
