  • How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

    Creator:
    Ormand, Elora J.
    Abstract:
    Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

  • 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...

  • SEM Analysis of Digestive Wear on Rodent Bones: A comparison of modern and fossil remains

    Creator:
    Hay-Roe, Samuel
    Abstract:
    When people think of fossils, they generally imagine the bones of large, charismatic animals. However, small mammals are an ecologically important group of organisms that show up frequently in the fossil record, and can frequently function as indicators for local environmental and ecological conditions (Terry, 2007, 2010). Rodent and rabbit...
