Climate Change Winners: Receding Ice Fields Facilitate Colony Expansion and Altered Dynamics in an Adélie Penguin Metapopulation

Creator:: LaRue, Michelle A., Ainley, David G., Swanson, Matt, Dugger, Katie M., Lyver, Phil O'B., Barton, Kerry, and Ballard, Grant
Abstract:: There will be winners and losers as climate change alters the habitats of polar organisms. For an Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony on Beaufort Island (Beaufort), part of a cluster of colonies in the southern Ross Sea, we report a recent population increase in response to increased nesting habitat as...

Disturbance Driven Colony Fragmentation as a Driver of a Coral Disease Outbreak

Creator:: Brandt, Marilyn E., Smith, Tyler B., Correa, Adrienne M. S., and Vega-Thurber, Rebecca
Abstract:: In September of 2010, Brewer's Bay reef, located in St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands), was simultaneously affected by abnormally high temperatures and the passage of a hurricane that resulted in the mass bleaching and fragmentation of its coral community. An outbreak of a rapid tissue loss disease among coral colonies...

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)....

How Effective Are DNA Barcodes in the Identification of African Rainforest Trees?

Creator:: Parmentier, Ingrid, Duminil, Jérôme, Kuzmina, Maria, Philippe, Morgane, Thomas, Duncan W., Kenfack, David, Chuyong, George B., Cruaud, Corinne, and Hardy, Olivier J.
Abstract:: Background: DNA barcoding of rain forest trees could potentially help biologists identify species and discover new ones. However, DNA barcodes cannot always distinguish between closely related species, and the size and completeness of barcode databases are key parameters for their successful application. We test the ability of rbcL, matK and...

A Phylogenetic Perspective on the Individual Species- Area Relationship in Temperate and Tropical Tree Communities

Creator:: Yang, Jie, Swenson, Nathan G., Cao, Min, Chuyong, George B., Ewango, Corneille E. N., Howe, Robert, Kenfack, David, Thomas, Duncan, Wolf, Amy, and Lin, Luxiang
Abstract:: Ecologists have historically used species-area relationships (SARs) as a tool to understand the spatial distribution of species. Recent work has extended SARs to focus on individual-level distributions to generate individual species area relationships (ISARs). The ISAR approach quantifies whether individuals of a species tend have more or less species richness...

The Effects of a Novel Hormonal Breast Cancer Therapy, Endoxifen, on the Mouse Skeleton

Creator:: Gingery, Anne, Subramaniam, Malayannan, Pitel, Kevin S., Reese, Jordan M., Cicek, Muzaffer, Lindenmaier, Laurence B., Ingle, James N., Goetz, Matthew P., Turner, Russell T., Iwaniec, Urszula T., Spelsberg, Thomas C., and Hawse, John R.
Abstract:: Endoxifen has recently been identified as the predominant active metabolite of tamoxifen and is currently being developed as a novel hormonal therapy for the treatment of endocrine sensitive breast cancer. Based on past studies in breast cancer cells and model systems, endoxifen classically functions as an anti-estrogenic compound. Since estrogen...

Density Can Be Misleading for Low-Density Species: Benefits of Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Creator:: Rogers, Tracey L., Ciaglia, Michaela B., Klinck, Holger, and Southwell, Colin
Abstract:: Climate-induced changes may be more substantial within the marine environment, where following ecological change is logistically difficult, and typically expensive. As marine animals tend to produce stereotyped, long-range signals, they are ideal for repeatable surveying. In this study we illustrate the potential for calling rates to be used as a...

Migratory Patterns of Wild Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Returning to a Large, Free-Flowing River Basin

Creator:: Eiler, John H., Evans, Allison N., and Schreck, Carl B.
Abstract:: Upriver movements were determined for Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha returning to the Yukon River, a large, virtually pristine river basin. These returns have declined dramatically since the late 1990s, and information is needed to better manage the run and facilitate conservation efforts. A total of 2,860 fish were radio tagged...

MTB-3, a Microtubule Plus-End Tracking Protein (+TIP) of Neurospora crassa

Creator:: Mourino-Perez, Rosa R., Linacre-Rojas, Lorena P., Roman-Gavilanes, Ariana I., Lew, Thomas K., Callejas-Negrete, Olga A., Roberson, Robert W., and Freitag, Michael
Abstract:: The microtubule (MT) "plus end" constitutes the platform for the accumulation of a structurally and functionally diverse group of proteins, collectively called "MT plus-end tracking proteins" (+TIPs). +TIPs control MT dynamics and link MTs to diverse sub-cellular structures. Neurospora crassa MicroTubule Binding protein-3 (MTB-3) is the homolog of yeast EB1,...

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...
