Phenology and Productivity of C₃ and C₄ Grasslands in Hawaii

Creator:: Pau, Stephanie and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Grasslands account for a large proportion of global terrestrial productivity and play a critical role in carbon and water cycling. Within grasslands, photosynthetic pathway is an important functional trait yielding different rates of productivity along environmental gradients. Recently, C₃-C₄ sorting along spatial environmental gradients has been reassessed by controlling for...

First Direct Evidence for Natal Wintering Ground Fidelity and Estimate of Juvenile Survival in the New Zealand Southern Right Whale Eubalaena australis

Creator:: Carroll, E. L., Fewster, R. M., Childerhouse, S. J., Patenaude, N. J., Boren, L., and Baker, C. S.
Abstract:: Juvenile survival and recruitment can be more sensitive to environmental, ecological and anthropogenic factors than adult survival, influencing population-level processes like recruitment and growth rate in long-lived, iteroparous species such as southern right whales. Conventionally, Southern right whales are individually identified using callosity patterns, which do not stabilise until 6–12...

Trends in Developed Land Cover Adjacent to Habitat for Threatened Salmon in Puget Sound, Washington, U.S.A.

Creator:: Bartz, Krista K., Ford, Michael J., Beechie, Timothy J., Fresh, Kurt L., Pess, George R., Kennedy, Robert E., Rowse, Melinda L., and Sheer, Mindi
Abstract:: For widely distributed species at risk, such as Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), habitat monitoring is both essential and challenging. Only recently have widespread monitoring programs been implemented for salmon habitat in the Pacific Northwest. Remote sensing data, such as Landsat images, are therefore a useful way to evaluate trends prior...

Multivariate Models of Adult Pacific Salmon Returns

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...

Patterns and Variation in Benthic Biodiversity in a Large Marine Ecosystem

Creator:: Piacenza, Susan E., Barner, Allison K., Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Boersma, Kate S., Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B., Ingeman, Kurt E., Kindinger, Tye L., Lee, Jonathan D., Lindsley, Amy J., Reimer, Jessica N., Rowe, Jennifer C., Shen, Chenchen, Thompson, Kevin A., Thurman, Lindsey L., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: While there is a persistent inverse relationship between latitude and species diversity across many taxa and ecosystems, deviations from this norm offer an opportunity to understand the conditions that contribute to large-scale diversity patterns. Marine systems, in particular, provide such an opportunity, as marine diversity does not always follow a...

Risk of Exposure to Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus Increases with the Density of Northern Cardinals

Creator:: Estep, Laura K., McClure, Christopher J. W., Vander Kelen, Patrick, Burkett-Cadena, Nathan D., Sickerman, Stephen, Hernandez, José, Jinright, Joseph, Hunt, Brenda, Lusk, John, Hoover, Victor, Armstrong, Keith, Stark, Lillian M., Hill, Geoffrey E., and Unnasch, Thomas R.
Abstract:: For a variety of infectious diseases, the richness of the community of potential host species has emerged as an important factor in pathogen transmission, whereby a higher richness of host species is associated with a lowered disease risk. The proposed mechanism driving this pattern is an increased likelihood in species-rich...

The Effect of Novel Research Activities on Long-term Survival of Temporarily Captive Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus)

Creator:: Shuert, Courtney, Horning, Markus, and Mellish, Jo-Ann
Abstract:: Two novel research approaches were developed to facilitate controlled access to, and long-term monitoring of, juvenile Steller sea lions for periods longer than typically afforded by traditional fieldwork. The Transient Juvenile Steller sea lion Project at the Alaska SeaLife Center facilitated nutritional, physiological, and behavioral studies on the platform of...

What the Inbred Scandinavian Wolf Population Tells Us about the Nature of Conservation

Creator:: Räikkönen, Jannikke, Vucetich, John A., Vucetich, Leah M., Peterson, Rolf O., and Nelson, Michael P.
Abstract:: The genetic aspects of population health are critical, but frequently difficult to assess. Of concern has been the genetic constitution of Scandinavian wolves (Canis lupus), which represent an important case in conservation. We examined the incidence of different congenital anomalies for 171 Scandinavian wolves, including the immigrant founder female, born...

Predation on an Upper Trophic Marine Predator, the Steller Sea Lion: Evaluating High Juvenile Mortality in a Density Dependent Conceptual Framework

Creator:: Horning, Markus and Mellish, Jo-Ann E.
Abstract:: The endangered western stock of the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) - the largest of the eared seals - has declined by 80% from population levels encountered four decades ago. Current overall trends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Aleutian Islands appear neutral with strong regional heterogeneities. A published...

Differences in Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) Chick Growth Rates and Diet

Creator:: Jennings, Scott, Varsani, Arvind, Dugger, Katie M., Ballard, Grant, and Ainley, David G.
Abstract:: Sexually size-dimorphic species must show some difference between the sexes in growth rate and/or length of growing period. Such differences in growth parameters can cause the sexes to be impacted by environmental variability in different ways, and understanding these differences allows a better understanding of patterns in productivity between individuals...
