Current and Future Land Use around a Nationwide Protected Area Network

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...

Regional Contingencies in the Relationship between Aboveground Biomass and Litter in the World’s Grasslands

Creator:: O’Halloran, Lydia R., Chu, Chengjin, Bakker, Jonathan D., Davies, Kendi F., Du, Guozhen, Firn, Jennifer, Hagenah, Nicole, Hofmockel, Kirsten S., Knops, Johannes M. H., Li, Wei, Melbourne, Brett A., Borer, Elizabeth T., Morgan, John W., Orrock, John L., Prober, Suzanne M., Stevens, Carly J., Seabloom, Eric W., MacDougall, Andrew S., Cleland, Elsa E., McCulley, Rebecca L., Hobbie, Sarah, Harpole, W. Stan, and DeCrappeo, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Based on regional-scale studies, aboveground production and litter decomposition are thought to positively covary, because they are driven by shared biotic and climatic factors. Until now we have been unable to test whether production and decomposition are generally coupled across climatically dissimilar regions, because we lacked replicated data collected within...

Mapping Atmospheric Moisture Climatologies across the Conterminous United States

Creator:: Daly, Christopher, Smith, Joseph I., and Olson, Keith V.
Abstract:: Spatial climate datasets of 1981–2010 long-term mean monthly average dew point and minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit were developed for the conterminous United States at 30-arcsec (~800m) resolution. Interpolation of long-term averages (twelve monthly values per variable) was performed using PRISM (Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model). Surface stations...

Evaluating the Return in Ecosystem Services from Investment in Public Land Acquisitions

Creator:: Kovacs, Kent, Polasky, Stephen, Nelson, Erik, Keeler, Bonnie L., Pennington, Derric, Plantinga, Andrew J., and Taff, Steven J.
Abstract:: We evaluate the return on investment (ROI) from public land conservation in the state of Minnesota, USA. We use a spatially-explicit modeling tool, the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), to estimate how changes in land use and land cover (LULC), including public land acquisitions for conservation, influence...

Factors Influencing Germination of a Functionally Important Grassland Plant, Iris tenax

Creator:: Jones, Katherine D. and Kaye, Thomas N.
Abstract:: Grassland prairies of western Oregon and Washington are among the most endangered ecosystems in the United States. Active management and restoration are needed to promote biodiversity in the region. To support plant production for use in habitat restoration, we developed germination protocols for greenhouse propagation of Iris tenax (Oregon iris)....

Does Temperature-Mediated Reproductive Success Drive the Direction of Species Displacement in Two Invasive Species of Leafminer Fly?

Creator:: Wang, Haihong, Reitz, Stuart R., Xiang, Juncheng, Smagghe, Guy, and Lei, Zhongren
Abstract:: Liriomyza sativae and L. trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae) are two highly invasive species of leafmining flies, which have become established as pests of horticultural crops throughout the world. In certain regions where both species have been introduced, L. sativae has displaced L. trifolii, whereas the opposite has occurred in other regions....

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...

Avian Species Richness in Relation to Intensive Forest Management Practices in Early Seral Tree Plantations

Creator:: Jones, Jay E., Kroll, Andrew J., Giovanini, Jack, Duke, Steven D., Ellis, Tana M., and Betts, Matthew G.
Abstract:: •Background: Managers of landscapes dedicated to forest commodity production require information about how practices influence biological diversity. Individual species and communities may be threatened if management practices truncate or simplify forest age classes that are essential for reproduction and survival. For instance, the degradation and loss of complex diverse forest...

Estimating the Counterfactual Impact of Conservation Programs on Land Cover Outcomes: The Role of Matching and Panel Regression Techniques

Creator:: Jones, Kelly W. and Lewis, David J.
Abstract:: Deforestation and conversion of native habitats continues to be the leading driver of biodiversity and ecosystem service loss. A number of conservation policies and programs are implemented—from protected areas to payments for ecosystem services (PES)—to deter these losses. Currently, empirical evidence on whether these approaches stop or slow land cover...

Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with the Tocochromanol (Vitamin E) Pathway in Barley

Creator:: Graebner, Ryan C., Wise, Mitchell, Cuesta-Marcos, Alfonso, Geniza, Matthew, Blake, Tom, Blake, Victoria C., Butler, Joshua, Chao, Shiaoman, Hole, David J., Horsley, Rich, Jaiswal, Pankaj, Obert, Don, Smith, Kevin P., Ullrich, Steven, and Hayes, Patrick M.
Abstract:: The Genome-Wide Association Studies approach was used to detect Quantitative Trait Loci associated with tocochromanol concentrations using a panel of 1,466 barley accessions. All major tocochromanol types- α-, β-, δ-, γ-tocopherol and tocotrienol- were assayed. We found 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the concentration of one or more of...
