Lichen communities and caribou habitat in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, USA

Creator:: Nelson, Peter R.
Abstract:: Lichens play many important roles in subarctic terrestrial ecosystems by fixing nitrogen, colonizing rock and gravel, stabilizing otherwise bare soil, adding significantly to vegetation biodiversity and serving as the primary food for caribou in the winter. In these chapters, I analyzed lichen community and ecological trait structure along environmental gradients,...

Evaluating relocation extent versus covariate resolution in habitat selection models across spatiotemporal scales

Creator:: Nelson, Peter R., Joly, Kyle, Roland, Carl A., and McCune, Bruce
Abstract:: Many habitat selection studies have focused on the importance of spatiotemporal scales and sample size, yet often hidden within is a trade-off between using more animal locations versus more predictive covariates. Few have evaluated the outcome of choosing between these two different paths even though the trade-off can have significant...

Creator:: Nelson, Peter R., McCune, Bruce, Roland, Carl, and Stehn, Sarah
Abstract:: Questions: Popular methods to analyse community–trait–environment relationships constrain community patterns by trait and environment relationships. What if some traits are strongly associated with community composition but unrelated to environmental variables and vice versa? We take a different approach, unconstrained by this assumption using non-parametric methods. We applied this technique to...

Creator:: Nelson, Peter R., McCune, Bruce, and Swanson, David K.
Abstract:: Lichens in the Arctic play important ecological roles. They also face the threats of increasing fire and shrub and tree expansion, exacerbated or caused by climate change. These forces may lead to changes not only in lichen community composition but also in the abundance, diversity and distribution of lichen functional...
