The idiosyncrasies of place: geographic variation in the climate–distribution relationships of the American pika

Creator:: Jeffress, Mackenzie R., Rodhouse, Thomas J., Ray, Chris, Wolff, Susan, and Epps, Clinton W.
Abstract:: Although climate acts as a fundamental constraint on the distribution of organisms, understanding how this relationship between climate and distribution varies over a species’ range is critical for addressing the potential impacts of accelerated climate change on biodiversity. Bioclimatic niche models provide compelling evidence that many species will experience range...

An Ecological Approach to Integrating Conservation and Highway Planning Volume 2

Creator:: Institute for Natural Resources, NatureServe, Parametrix, CH2M HILL, and Transposition Research Board of the National Academies
Abstract:: This report is intended to help transportation and environmental professionals apply ecological principles early in the planning and programming process of highway capacity improvements to inform later environmental reviews and permitting. Ecological principles consider cumulative landscape, water resources, and habitat impacts of planned infrastructure actions, as well as the localized...

Identification of optimal broodstock for Pacific Northwest oysters

Creator:: Stick, David A.
Abstract:: The United States Pacific Northwest is well known for its shellfish farming. Historically, commercial harvests were dominated by the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, but over-exploitation, habitat degradation, and competition and predation by non-native species has drastically depleted their densities and extirpated many local populations. As a result, shellfish aquaculture...

Oregon climate assessment report : December 2010

Creator:: Dello, Kathie D., Mote, Philip W., and Oregon Climate Change Research Institute
Abstract:: The group of scientists that make up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found in 2007 that the warming of Earth’s climate is unequivocal and largely due to human activity. Earth’s climate has changed in the past, though the recent magnitude and pace of changes are unprecedented in human existence....

Preliminary framework for the run-ahead predictive simulation software (RAPSS)

Creator:: Makinson, Kevin A.
Abstract:: The Run-Ahead Predictive Simulation Software (RAPSS) is an architecture designed for faster-than-real-time decision support for operators of complex networks. To enable further development of the RAPSS methodology, the necessary proof of principle is illustrated in two applications: decision support for shift technical advisors in nuclear power plant control rooms (RAPSS-STA),...

Recent Population Size, Trends, and Limiting Factors for the Double-Crested Cormorant in Western North America

Creator:: Adkins, Jessica Y., Roby, Daniel D., Lyons, Donald E., Courtot, Karen N., Collis, Ken, Carter, Harry R., Shuford, W. David, and Capitolo, Phillip J.
Abstract:: The status of the double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) in western North America was last evaluated during 1987–2003. In the interim, concern has grown over the potential impact of predation by double-crested cormorants on juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.), particularly in the Columbia Basin and along the Pacific coast where some salmonids...

Improving Projections of Tidal Marsh Persistence under Climate Change with Remote Sensing and Site-Specific Data

Creator:: Buffington, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Tidal marshes are dynamic ecosystems that are threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. To characterize baseline condition and historic climate sensitivities, and improve projections into the future, new methods are required that integrate data from the field and remote sensing platforms. Marsh elevation response models can be calibrated with...
