The effect of spatial configuration of habitat capacity on β diversity

Creator:: Dong, X., Muneepeerakul, R., Olden, J. D., and Lytle, D. A.
Abstract:: Patterns of β diversity are commonly used to infer underlying ecological processes. In this study, we examined the effect of spatial configuration of habitat capacity on different metrics of β diversity, i.e., β diversity measured as turnover and as variation. For β diversity as turnover, a monotonic species spatial turnover...

Hybridization of Non-Native Dune-Building Beachgrasses on the U.S. Pacific Northwest Coast: Characterization of Functional Morphology, Hybrid Swarm Composition, and Ecological Consequences of Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata

Creator:: Mostow, Rebecca S.
Abstract:: The rates of biological introductions and invasions are increasing, driving up the associated harms to ecosystems and economies. The spread and effects of invasive organisms depend on the specifics of the introduction, the character of the invaded ecosystem, and multiple traits of the invasive organism itself. One mechanism by which...

Discovery of a dune-building hybrid beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata) in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Mostow, Rebecca S., Barreto, Felipe, Biel, Reuben, Meyer, Eli, and Hacker, Sally D.
Abstract:: The production of novel hybrid zones is an ecologically important consequence of globally increasing rates of species introductions and invasions. Interspecific hybridization can facilitate gene flow between parent species or produce novel taxa that may alter invasion dynamics or ecosystem services. The coastal sand dunes of the U.S. Pacific Northwest...

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes : Context-dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Seabloom, Eric W., Hacker, Sally D., Biel, Reuben G., and Cohn, Nicholas
Abstract:: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...

Coastal Dunes as Meta-Ecosystems: Connecting Marine Subsidies to Dune Ecosystem Functions on the U.S. Pacific Northwest Coast

Creator:: Constant, Vanessa
Abstract:: Ecological communities are connected in space and time through the transfer of energy, materials, and organisms, together known as ecological subsidies. These ecological subsidies can have substantial effects on community structure, function, and services, especially when the connections are between communities with contrasting productivity. At the ocean-land interface, low productivity...

The Range, Abundance, Spread, and Biophysical Effects of a Novel, Invasive Beachgrass Hybrid, Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata, on U.S. Pacific Northwest Coastal Dunes

Creator:: Askerooth, Risa
Abstract:: Non-native ecosystem engineers, which modify the structure and function of their ecosystems, are often a particularly concerning and costly group of invasive species. Such organisms may have substantial impacts on ecosystem services, or the benefits that humans derive from their ecosystems. Many factors play a role in the invasion success...

Carbon storage in U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal dunes : the role of invasive beachgrasses and sand supply

Creator:: Stepanek, John
Abstract:: As global atmospheric carbon emissions continue to rise, scientists and land managers are increasingly looking to natural ecosystems to sequester and store carbon to buffer the impacts of climate change. Despite their small geographic size, many coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and mangroves sequester large amounts of...

An index to assess the health and benefits of the global ocean

Creator:: Halpern, Benjamin S., Longo, Catherine, Hardy, Darren, McLeod, Karen L., Samhouri, Jameal F., Katona, Steven K., Kleisner, Kristin, Lester, Sarah E., O'Leary, Jennifer, Ranelletti, Marla, Rosenberg, Andrew A., Scarborough, Courtney, Selig, Elizabeth R., Best, Benjamin D., Brumbaugh, Daniel R., Chapin, F.

Rashid, and Zeller, Dirk
Abstract:: The ocean plays a critical role in supporting human well-being, from providing food, livelihoods and recreational opportunities to regulating the global climate. Sustainable management aimed at maintaining the flow of a broad range of benefits from the ocean requires a comprehensive and quantitative method to measure and monitor the health...

Investigating the Role of Dune Grasses, Carbon Storage, and Marine Nutrient Subsidies to the Functions and Services of U.S. Central Atlantic Coastal Dune Ecosystems

Creator:: Jay, Katya R.
Abstract:: Sandy beaches and dunes cover approximately one-third of the world’s ice-free coastlines and provide ecosystem services including coastal protection, recreation, wildlife habitat, and carbon sequestration. These dynamic interface habitats are variably shaped by wind, waves, sedimentary processes, and vegetation feedbacks. Positive biophysical feedbacks lead to the formation of vegetated coastal...

Communities in Flux: The Influence of Hydroperiod on Aquatic Invertebrate Communities in Temporary Ponds

Creator:: Kruse, Christi A.
Abstract:: A central theme of ecology is determining factors that influence species distributions. Within aquatic ecology, species present in flowing waters are primarily influenced by the natural flow patterns of the stream (natural flow regime paradigm) while explanations of species present in standing waters are further divided by habitat type. To...
