Creator:: Roberts, William Hadyn, Jr.
Abstract:: This report describes the findings from a 22 question survey of the 104 member Montgomery West Homeowners Association (MWHOA) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Resident’s perceptions of their practices as related to the neighborhood storm ponds, stormwater, and how homeowner practices contribute to non-point source pollutants. An understanding of Green Infrastructure (GI)...

Why we worship the economy : a Burkean analysis of South Park's "Margaritaville"

Creator:: Holderness, William Robert
Abstract:: The television show South Park, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is viewed by millions of people each week, regularly addresses a number of controversial issues and plays a major role in contemporary popular culture. Current academic research acknowledges Parker and Stone's willingness to attack the dominant views surrounding...

Berry-producing shrub characteristics following wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park

Creator:: Beschta, Robert L. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: Gray wolves (Canis lupus) were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in 1995-96, thus completing the park’s large predator guild. In the fall of 2010, approximately 15 years after wolf reintroduction, we sampled ten genera/species of berry-producing shrubs within 97 aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands in the park’s northern ungulate winter range....

Large Predators Limit Herbivore Densities in Northern Forest Ecosystems

Creator:: Ripple, William J. and Beschta, Robert L.
Abstract:: There is a lack of scientific consensus about how top-down and bottom-up forces interact to structure terrestrial ecosystems. This is especially true for systems with large carnivore and herbivore species where the effects of predation versus food limitation on herbivores are controversial. Uncertainty exists whether top-down forces driven by large...

Trophic cascades in Yellowstone: the first 15 years after wolf reintroduction

Creator:: Ripple, William J. and Beschta, Robert L.
Abstract:: The 1995/96 reintroduction of gray wolves (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone National Park after a 70 year absence has allowed for studies of tri-trophic cascades involving wolves, elk (Cervus elaphus), and plant species such as aspen (Populus tremuloides), cottonwoods (Populus spp.), and willows (Salix spp.). To investigate the status of this...

New approach for using remotely sensed chlorophyll a to identify seabird hotspots

Creator:: Suryan, Robert M., Santora, Jarrod A., and Sydeman, William J.
Abstract:: Satellite imagery of chlorophyll a concentration (chl a) provides the only holistic perspective of productivity in marine ecosystems worldwide, yet its utility for understanding and predicting the distribution of upper trophic-level predators remains equivocal. We tested the hypothesis that remotely sensed chl a measurements spanning a decade can predict marine...

Do insect outbreaks reduce the severity of subsequent forest fires?

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W., Zald, Harold S. J., Campbell, John L., Keeton, William S., and Kennedy, Robert E.
Abstract:: Understanding the causes and consequences of rapid environmental change is an essential scientific frontier, particularly given the threat of climate-and land use-induced changes in disturbance regimes. In western North America, recent widespread insect outbreaks and wildfires have sparked acute concerns about potential insect-fire interactions. Although previous research shows that insect...

Recovering aspen follow changing elk dynamics in Yellowstone: evidence of a trophic cascade?

Creator:: Painter, Luke E., Beschta, Robert L., Larsen, Eric J., and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: To investigate the extent and causes of recent quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) recruitment in northern Yellowstone National Park, we measured browsing intensity and height of young aspen in 87 randomly selected aspen stands in 2012, and compared our results to similar data collected in 1997–1998. We also examined the relationship...

Alopecia areata in two black Angus cows

Creator:: Valentine, Beth A., Bildfell, Robert J., Packham, David, Scott, Danny W., and Miller, William H.
Abstract:: Adult onset progressive alopecia and leukotrichia developed in 2 registered black Angus cows, aged 6 and 7 years. Histopathologic findings in skin were prominent melanin clumping and degeneration of matrix cells with formation of giant multinucleate cells within hair bulbs, accompanied by peribulbar melanin incontinence and fibrosis and dystrophic hair...
