Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century

Creator:: Losos, Jonathan B., Arnold, Stevan J., Bejerano, Gill, Brodie, E. D. III, Hibbett, David, Hoekstra, Hopi E., Mindell, David P., Monteiro, Antonia, Moritz, Craig, Orr, H. Allen, Petrov, Dmitri A., Renner, Susanne S., Ricklefs, Robert E., Soltis, Pamela S., and Turner, Thomas L.
Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

Post-fire tree establishment and early cohort development in conifer forests of the western Cascades of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J., Swanson, Frederick J., and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Early‐seral ecosystems make important contributions to regional biodiversity by supporting high abundance and diversity of many plant and animal species that are otherwise rare or absent from closed‐canopy forests. Therefore, the period of post‐fire tree establishment is a key stage in forest stand and ecosystem development that can be viewed...

Regional variation in stand structure and development in forests of Oregon, Washington, and inland Northern California

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. and Spies, Thomas A.
Abstract:: Despite its importance to biodiversity and ecosystem function, patterns and drivers of regional scale variation in forest structure and development are poorly understood. We characterize structural variation, create a hierarchical classification of forest structure, and develop an empirically based framework for conceptualizing structural development from 11,091 plots across 25 million...

AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Steele, Evan T.
Abstract:: The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

“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...

Growing our vision together : forming a sustainability community within the American Library Association

Creator:: Filar Williams, Beth, Charney, Madeleine, and Smith, Bonnie
Abstract:: As long-standing keepers of democracy and information stewardship, library professionals are a natural fit for advocating and promoting sustainability within their communities. From seed libraries to Occupy Wall Street libraries, their view of sustainability extends beyond environmental concerns to include community activism, economic development, and social equity. Empowering people, facilitating...

A bioenergetics model to evaluate demographic consequences of disturbance in marine mammals applied to gray whales

Creator:: Villegas-Amtmann, S., Schwarz, L. K., Sumich, J. L., and Costa, D. P.
Abstract:: While sophisticated tools are used to monitor behavioral changes of large marine vertebrates, determining whether these changes are meaningful for management and conservation is challenging. The Population Consequences of Disturbance model proposed a bioenergetics model to detect biologically meaningful population responses, where disturbance costs are linked to lost energy. The...

Palaeo-sea-level and palaeo-ice-sheet databases: problems, strategies, and perspectives

Creator:: Düsterhus, André, Rovere, Alessio, Carlson, Anders E., Horton, Benjamin P., Klemann, Volker, Tarasov, Lev, Barlow, Natasha L. M., Bradwell, Tom, Clark, Jorie, Dutton, Andrea, Gehrels, W. Roland, Hibbert, Fiona D., Hijma, Marc P., Khan, Nicole, Kopp, Robert E., Sivan, Dorit, and Törnqvist, Torbjörn E.
Abstract:: Sea-level and ice-sheet databases have driven numerous advances in understanding the Earth system. We describe the challenges and offer best strategies that can be adopted to build self-consistent and standardised databases of geological and geochemical information used to archive palaeo-sea-levels and palaeo-ice-sheets. There are three phases in the development of...

Does wildfire likelihood increase following insect outbreaks in conifer forests?

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W., Campbell, John L., Zald, Harold S. J., Bailey, John D., Shaw, David C., and Kennedy, Robert E.
Abstract:: Although there is acute concern that insect-caused tree mortality increases the likelihood or severity of subsequent wildfire, previous studies have been mixed, with findings typically based on stand-scale simulations or individual events. This study investigates landscape- and regional-scale wildfire likelihood following outbreaks of the two most prevalent native insect pests...
