Familiarity with a female does not affect a male's courtship intensity in garter snakes Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: Shine, Richard, Webb, Jonathan K., Lane, Amanda, and Mason, Robert T.
Abstract:: In many animal species, males direct more intense courtship towards females they have not previously encountered, than towards females with which they have previously mated. To test the factors responsible for this "Coolidge Effect", we need studies on a wide range of taxa – including those with mating systems in...

Severe Drought Drives Novel Community Trajectories in Desert Stream Pools

Creator:: Bogan, Michael T. and Lytle, David A.
Abstract:: 1. Ecological communities can be relatively stable for long periods of time, and then, often as a result of disturbance, transition rapidly to a novel state. When communities fail to recover to pre-disturbance configurations, they are said to have experienced a regime shift or to be in an alternative stable state....

Density dependence and population regulation in marine fish: a large-scale, long-term field manipulation

Creator:: Hixon, Mark A., Anderson, Todd W., Buch, Kevin L., Johnson, Darren W., McLeod, J. Brock, and Stallings, Christopher D.
Abstract:: dependence and regulation of relatively large local populations? If so, what are the causative mechanisms and their implications? We conducted an eight-year multigeneration study of population dynamics of bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus) inhabiting four large coral reefs in the Bahamas. After a four-year baseline period, it was clear that two...

Using the functional response of a consumer to predict biotic resistance to invasive prey

Creator:: Twardochleb, Laura A., Novak, Mark, and Moore, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: Predators sometimes provide biotic resistance against invasions by nonnative prey. Understanding and predicting the strength of biotic resistance remains a key challenge in invasion biology. A predator's functional response to nonnative prey may predict whether a predator can provide biotic resistance against nonnative prey at different prey densities. Surprisingly, functional...

The science of European marine reserves: Status, efficacy, and future needs

Creator:: Fenberg, Phillip B., Caselle, Jennifer E., Claudet, Joachim, Clemence, Michaela, Gaines, Steven D., Garcia-Charton, Jose Antonio, Goncalves, Emanuel J., Grorud-Colvert, Kirsten, Guidetti, Paolo, Jenkins, Stuart R., Jones, Peter J. S., Lester, Sarah E., McAllen, Rob, Moland, Even, Planes, Serge, and Sorensen, Thomas K.
Abstract:: The ecologically and socio-economically important marine ecosystems of Europe are facing severe threats from a variety of human impacts. To mitigate and potentially reverse some of these impacts, the European Union (EU) has mandated the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) in order to achieve Good Environmental Status...

Large-scale Flow Experiments for Managing River Systems

Creator:: Konrad, Christopher P., Olden, Julian D., Lytle, David A., Melis, Theodore S., Schmidt, John C., Bray, Erin N., Freeman, Mary C., Gido, Keith B., Hemphill, Nina P., Kennard, Mark J., McMullen, Laura E., Mims, Meryl C., Pyron, Mark, Robinson, Christopher T., and Williams, John G.
Abstract:: Experimental manipulations of streamflow have been used globally in recent decades to mitigate the impacts of dam operations on river systems. Rivers are challenging subjects for experimentation, because they are open systems that cannot be isolated from their social context. We identify principles to address the challenges of conducting effective...

Predictability and constraints on the structure of ecological communities in the context of climate change

Creator:: Barner, Allison K.
Abstract:: Ecologists must increasingly balance the need for accurate predictions about how ecosystems will be affected by climate change, against the fact that making such predictions at the ecosystem-level may be infeasible. Although information about responses of individual species to a changing environment is increasing, scaling such information to the community...

Halophilanema prolata n. gen., n. sp. (Nematoda: Allantonematidae), a parasite of the intertidal bug, Saldula laticollis (Reuter)(Hemiptera: Saldidae) on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr.
Abstract:: Background: It is rare to find terrestrial nematode lineages parasitizing arthropods inhabiting the intertidal or littoral zone of the oceans. During an ecological study along the Oregon dunes, an allantonematid nematode (Tylenchomorpha: Allantonematidae) was discovered parasitizing the intertidal shore bug, Saldula laticollis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Saldidae). This shore bug is adapted...

Phylogeny of minute carabid beetles and their relatives based upon DNA sequence data (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechitae)

Creator:: Maddison, David R. and Ober, Karen A.
Abstract:: The phylogeny of ground beetles of supertribe Trechitae is inferred using DNA sequences of genes that code for 28S ribosomal RNA, 18S ribosomal RNA, and wingless. Within the outgroups, austral psydrines are inferred to be monophyletic, and separate from the three genera of true Psydrina (Psydrus, Nomius, Laccocenus); the austral...

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...
