“Straight to the Heart of Things”— Reflecting on Library Metaphors for Impact and Assessment

Creator:: Stoddart, Richard A.
Abstract:: This paper explores the use and creative application of library metaphors. Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always able to speak for themselves. Simply stating reference statistics, gate counts, and resource circulation numbers are not persuasive narratives in and of themselves. Voice and context needs to be given to these forms of...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Macroinvertebrates in Spawning and Non-Spawning Habitats during a Salmon Run in Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Campbell, Emily Y., Merritt, Richard W., Cummins, Kenneth W., and Benbow, M. Eric
Abstract:: Spawning salmon create patches of disturbance through redd digging which can reduce macroinvertebrate abundance and biomass in spawning habitat. We asked whether displaced invertebrates use non-spawning habitats as refugia in streams. Our study explored how the spatial and temporal distribution of macroinvertebrates changed during a pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) spawning...

Mapping Migratory Bird Prevalence Using Remote Sensing Data Fusion

Creator:: Swatantran, Anu, Dubayah, Ralph, Goetz, Scott, Hofton, Michelle, Betts, Matthew G., Sun, Mindy, Simard, Marc, and Holmes, Richard
Abstract:: Background: Improved maps of species distributions are important for effective management of wildlife under increasing anthropogenic pressures. Recent advances in lidar and radar remote sensing have shown considerable potential for mapping forest structure and habitat characteristics across landscapes. However, their relative efficacies and integrated use in habitat mapping remain largely...

Patterns of loggerhead turtle ontogenetic shifts revealed through isotopic analysis of annual skeletal growth increments

Creator:: Ramirez, Matthew D., Avens, Larisa, Seminoff, Jeffrey A., Goshe, Lisa R., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: Ontogenetic changes in resource use often delimit transitions between life stages. Ecological and individual factors can cause variation in the timing and consistency of these transitions, ultimately affecting community and population dynamics through changes in growth and survival. Therefore, it is important to document and understand behavioral and life history...

Key areas for conserving United States’ biodiversity likely threatened by future land use change

Creator:: Martinuzzi, S., Radeloff, V. C., Higgins, J. V., Helmers, D. P., Plantinga, A. J., and Lewis, D. J.
Abstract:: A major challenge for biodiversity conservation is to mitigate the effects of future environmental change, such as land use, in important areas for biodiversity conservation. In the United States, recent conservation efforts by The Nature Conservancy and partners have identified and mapped the nation's Areas of Biodiversity Significance (ABS), representing...

The Generation Challenge Programme Platform: Semantic Standards and Workbench for Crop Science

Creator:: Bruskiewich, Richard, Senger, Martin, Davenport, Guy, Ruiz, Manuel, Rouard, Mathieu, Hazekamp, Tom, Takeya, Masaru, Doi, Koji, Satoh, Kouji, Costa, Marcos, Simon, Reinhard, Balaji, Jayashree, Akintunde, Akinnola, Mauleon, Ramil, Wanchana, Samart, Shah, Trushar, Anacleto, Mylah, Portugal, Arllet, Ulat, Victor Jun, Thongjuea, Supat, Braak, Kyle, Ritter, Sebastian, Dereeper, Alexis, Skofic, Milko, Rojas, Edwin, Martins, Natalia, Pappas, Georgios, Alamban, Ryan, Almodiel, Roque, Barboza, Lord Hendrix, Detras, Jeffrey, Manansala, Kevin, Mendoza, Michael Jonathan, Morales, Jeffrey, Peralta, Barry, Valerio, Rowena, Zhang, Yi, Gregorio, Sergio, Hermocilla, Joseph, Echavez, Michael, Yap, Jan Michael, Farmer, Andrew, Schiltz, Gary, Lee, Jennifer, Casstevens, Terry, Jaiswal, Pankaj, Meintjes, Ayton, Wilkinson, Mark, Good, Benjamin, Wagner, James, Morris, Jane, Marshall, David, Collins, Anthony, Kikuchi, Shoshi, Metz, Thomas, McLaren, Graham, and van Hintum, Theo
Abstract:: The Generation Challenge programme (GCP) is a global crop research consortium directed toward crop improvement through the application of comparative biology and genetic resources characterization to plant breeding. A key consortium research activity is the development of a GCP crop bioinformatics platform to support GCP research. This platform includes the...

Historical Biogeography and Diversification of Truffles in the Tuberaceae and Their Newly Identified Southern Hemisphere Sister Lineage

Creator:: Bonito, Gregory, Smith, Matthew E., Nowak, Michael, Healy, Rosanne A., Guevara, Gonzalo, Cazares, Efren, Kinoshita, Akihiko, Nouhra, Eduardo R., Domınguez, Laura S., Tedersoo, Leho, Murat, Claude, Wang, Yun, Arroyo Moreno, Baldomero, Pfister, Donald H., Nara, Kazuhide, Zambonelli, Alessandra, Trappe, James M., and Vilgalys, Rytas
Abstract:: Truffles have evolved from epigeous (aboveground) ancestors in nearly every major lineage of fleshy fungi. Because accelerated rates of morphological evolution accompany the transition to the truffle form, closely related epigeous ancestors remain unknown for most truffle lineages. This is the case for the quintessential truffle genus Tuber, which includes...

J., Sahoo, A. K., Schaefer, K., Schwalm, C. R., Tian, H., Verbeeck, H., and Weng, E.
Abstract:: Earth system processes exhibit complex patterns across time, as do the models that seek to replicate these processes. Model output may or may not be significantly related to observations at different times and on different frequencies. Conventional model diagnostics provide an aggregate view of model–data agreement, but usually do not...

Farm Zoning and Fairness in Oregon 1964 - 2014

Creator:: Richmond, Henry R. and Houchen, Timothy G.
Abstract:: Senate Bill 100 (1973) and the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission’s (LCDC) goals (1975) required: - Cities to adopt urban growth boundaries (UGBs) to contain sprawl, and - Counties to use zoning to limit 15.6 million acres of farmland to farm use, and 8.0 million acres of forest land...

Evaluation and improvement of the Community Land Model (CLM4) in Oregon forests

Creator:: Hudiburg, T. W., Law, B. E., and Thornton, P. E.
Abstract:: Ecosystem process models are important tools for determining the interactive effects of global change and disturbance on forest carbon dynamics. Here we evaluated and improved terrestrial carbon cycling simulated by the Community Land Model (CLM4), the land model portion of the Community Earth System Model (CESM1.0.4). Our analysis was conducted...
