The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

An Investigation into the Distribution, Residency Patterns, Population Connectivity, and Abundance of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in New Zealand

Creator:: Barlow, Dawn R.
Abstract:: Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations. I describe a pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) population in New Zealand waters with year-round presence that overlaps with industrial activities. This...

Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) behavior and movement in relation to lunar phases

Creator:: Woodside, Gail J.
Abstract:: Two small herds of Rocky Mountain (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) cow elk were, collared, observed, and spatially mapped for 10 continuous six day trials, conducted during 2008-2009. Five trials occurred during full moon periods and five trials during new moon periods. The elk were collared with 1 second interval GPS loggers...

The forest and the mainframe : the dynamics of modeling and field study in the Coniferous Forest Biome, 1969-1980

Creator:: Long, Tulley A.
Abstract:: In an initial research proposal of December 1969, the scientists of the Coniferous Forest Biome (CFB), an ecosystem study centered in the Pacific Northwest and part of the larger International Biological Programme (IBP), expressed optimism that computer simulations and systems modeling could transform empirical knowledge of the carbon, water, and...

An in-situ experiment on the effects of zooplankton grazing and nutrient regeneration on the phytoplankton of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Deason, Ellen Elizabeth
Abstract:: Natural populations of phytoplankton from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, were incubated in large polyethelene bags in- situ, with and without the natural assemblage of zooplankton. Samples were taken daily for two weeks in April, 1974. The biomass of phytoplankton in the bag without grazers reached values two to three times the...

A rapid ecological assesment (REA) of coral reefs and reef fishes of barrier islands within central Belize barrier reef complex utilizing the mesoamerican barrier reef systems (MBRS) protocol

Creator:: Gomez, Gianna M.
Abstract:: Rapid assessments are essential to establish baseline information of ecosystems that can be used to design management plans such as marine protected areas. A rapid ecological assessment was conducted to determine the conditions of coral reefs and reef fish around barrier islands that occur within the central Belize Barrier Reef...

Diversity and similarity of benthic fauna off Oregon

Creator:: Stander, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: Samples of benthic organisms off the coast of Oregon, taken from depths varying from 50 to 2900 meters, have been analyzed in terms of diversity at a given station, and similarity and ecological distance to other stations. Estimates of epifauna abundance were also made. In the analysis an important distinction...

The influence of herbivore generated inputs on nutrient cycling and soil processes in a lower montane tropical rain forest of Puerto Rico

Creator:: Fonte, Steven J.
Abstract:: The role of insect herbivores in the nutrient cycling dynamics of forest ecosystems remains poorly understood. Although past research in herbivory has focused primarily on the deleterious effects that insects can have on tree growth and mortality, the overall effects of herbivory are more complex. Herbivores have the potential to...
