The Long and Short of it: Dynamic Ways in Which Small Mammals Respond In-Situ to Environmental Gradients in Time and Space

Creator:: Grimes, Juniper E.
Abstract:: In the face of environmental stressors, change is imperative for species to remain in place. The nature and degree of this change is of great interest, as it sheds light into the ways in which species respond to ecological and habitat change and may continue to respond during periods of...

Influence of River Plumes on Larval Fish Distributions, Predator-Prey Relationships, and Fitness in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Creator:: Axler, Kelia E.
Abstract:: River plumes discharging into continental shelf waters have the potential to influence patchiness of larval fishes, prey, and gelatinous predators. Using a high-resolution plankton imaging system, we sampled larval fishes, copepods, and planktonic predators (ctenophores, hydromedusae, and siphonophores) across multiple freshwater pulses exiting the mouth of Mobile Bay (Alabama, USA)...

Emergent Properties of Animal Social Networks: Five Stories in Five Systems

Creator:: Devan-Song, E. Anne
Abstract:: Animals aggregate and interact in nonuniform and nonrandom patterns, which lead to group level characteristics that have important evolutionary and ecological consequences. Network analysis provides a useful conceptual framework for linking animal interactions at all scales from dyads to communities, to populations and ecosystems. Despite exciting theoretical and applied advances...

Individual Host to Population Scale Dynamics of Parasite Assemblages in African Buffalo of Kruger National Park, South Africa

Creator:: Glidden, Caroline K.
Abstract:: The last century has experienced a marked increase in emerging infectious disease (EID, hereafter) – jeopardizing human, domestic animal, and wildlife health. EIDs are commonly associated with spillover from one host species into a novel host species, with many destructive diseases, for both livestock and wildlife, emerging at the wildlife-livestock...

Influence of Regional Oceanography on the Distributions, Trophic Interactions, Growth, and Survival of the Early Life History Stages of Fishes

Creator:: Swieca, Kelsey
Abstract:: Most marine fishes experience high rates of mortality during their early life history stages with far reaching consequences for adult population dynamics. Within a few weeks of hatching, relatively small changes in larval growth and mortality rates can lead to orders of magnitude variability in year-class strength. Growth and survival...

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...

Dogs, Death, and Dietary Breadth: Insights into the Macroecology and Macroevolution of Canidae

Creator:: Tanis, Brian P.
Abstract:: The size, shape, and stability of a species’ dietary niche can both influence and reflect a variety of biological patterns, including species interactions, extinction risk, and ecosystem function. This is particularly apparent when dietary changes manifest at ecosystem and clade scales to profoundly affect macroecological and macroevolutionary trajectories. However, many...

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...

The circadian clock gene period extends healthspan in aging Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Krishnan, Natraj, Kretzchmar, Doris, Rakshit, Kuntol, Chow, Eileen, and Giebultowicz, Jadwiga M.
Abstract:: There is increasing evidence that aging is affected by biological (circadian) clocks – the internal mechanisms that coordinate daily changes in gene expression, physiological functions and behavior with external day/night cycles. Recent data suggest that disruption of the mammalian circadian clock results in accelerated aging and increased age‐related pathologies such...

Status of the European Green Crab, Carcinus maenas, (aka 5-spine crab) in Oregon Estuaries. Report for 2022

Creator:: Yamada, Sylvia Behrens, Royer, Cameron, Schooler, Shon, Flitcroft, Rebecca, Vance, Mitch, Randall, Andrea, and Fisher, Jennifer
Abstract:: The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) has persisted in Oregon and Washington coastal estuaries since the late 1990s. A strong year class arrived during the 1998 El Niño, but numbers decreased and remained below 1 per trap per day until the arrival of the 2015-2016 El Niño. Since then, numbers...
