Abstract:: Motivation: Estimation of bacterial community composition from high-throughput sequenced 16S rRNA gene amplicons is a key task in microbial ecology. Since the sequence data from each sample typically consist of a large number of reads and are adversely impacted by different levels of biological and technical noise, accurate analysis of...

Abstract:: Ungulates exert a strong influence on the composition and diversity of vegetation communities. However, little is known about how ungulate browsing pressure interacts with episodic disturbances such as fire and stand thinning. We assessed shrub responses to variable browsing pressure by cattle and elk in fuels treated (mechanical removal of...

Abstract:: We compiled a lake-water clarity database using publically available, citizen volunteer observations made between 1938 and 2012 across eight states in the Upper Midwest, USA. Our objectives were to determine (1) whether temporal trends in lake-water clarity existed across this large geographic area and (2) whether trends were related to...

Creator:: Womble, Jamie N. and Gende, Scott M.
Abstract:: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly being used as a conservation tool for highly mobile marine vertebrates and the focus is typically on protecting breeding areas where individuals are aggregated seasonally. Yet movements during the non-breeding season can overlap with threats that may be equally as important to population dynamics....

Creator:: Burke, Brian J., Peterson, William T., Beckman, Brian R., Morgan, Cheryl, Daly, Elizabeth A., and Litz, Marisa
Abstract:: Most modeling and statistical approaches encourage simplicity, yet ecological processes are often complex, as they are influenced by numerous dynamic environmental and biological factors. Pacific salmon abundance has been highly variable over the last few decades and most forecasting models have proven inadequate, primarily because of a lack of understanding...

Creator:: Hamilton, Christopher M., Martinuzzi, Sebastian, Plantinga, Andrew J., Radeloff, Volker C., Lewis, David J., Thogmartin, Wayne E., Heglund, Patricia J., and Pidgeon, Anna M.
Abstract:: Land-use change around protected areas can reduce their effective size and limit their ability to conserve biodiversity because land-use change alters ecological processes and the ability of organisms to move freely among protected areas. The goal of our analysis was to inform conservation planning efforts for a nationwide network of...

Creator:: Penaluna, Brooke E., Dunham, Jason B., Railsback, Steve F., Arismendi, Ivan, Johnson, Sherri L., Bilby, Robert E., Safeeq, Mohammad, and Skaugset, Arne E.
Abstract:: Land use and climate change occur simultaneously around the globe. Fully understanding their separate and combined effects requires a mechanistic understanding at the local scale where their effects are ultimately realized. Here we applied an individual-based model of fish population dynamics to evaluate the role of local stream variability in...

Abstract:: Understanding seasonal migration and localized persistence of populations is critical for effective species harvest and conservation management. Pacific salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) forecasting models predict stock composition, abundance, and distribution during annual assessments of proposed fisheries impacts. Most models, however, fail to account for the influence of biophysical factors on year-to-year...
