Elemental Markers in Elasmobranchs: Effects of Environmental History and Growth on Vertebral Chemistry

Creator:: Smith, Wade D., Miller, Jessica A., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: Differences in the chemical composition of calcified skeletal structures (e.g. shells, otoliths) have proven useful for reconstructing the environmental history of many marine species. However, the extent to which ambient environmental conditions can be inferred from the elemental signatures within the vertebrae of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays) has not been...

Critically low abundance and limits to human-related mortality for the Maui's dolphin

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca M., Wade, Paul, Oremus, Marc, Stanley, Martin, Brown, Phillip, Constantine, Rochelle, and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: The New Zealand endemic Maui’s dolphin Cephalorhynchus hectori maui is characterized by several life history traits thought to be important predictors of extinction risk in marine mammals, including a slow rate of reproduction, small geographic range, small group size, and coastal distribution. We continued the genetic monitoring of the remnant...

Effect of age-based and environment-based cues on reproductive investment in Gambusia affinis

Creator:: Billman, Eric J. and Belk, Mark C.
Abstract:: We examined the multivariate life-history trajectories of age 0 and age 1 female Gambusia affinis to determine relative effects of age-based and environment-based cues on reproductive investment. Age 0 females decreased reproductive investment prior to the onset of fall and winter months, while age 1 females increased reproductive investment as...

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...

Genes Related to Ion-Transport and Energy Production Are Upregulated in Response to CO₂-Driven pH Decrease in Corals: New Insights from Transcriptome Analysis

Creator:: Vidal-Dupiol, Jeremie, Zoccola, Didier, Tambutté, Eric, Grunau, Christoph, Cosseau, Céline, Smith, Kristina M., Freitag, Michael, Dheilly, Nolwenn M., Allemand, Denis, and Tambutté, Sylvie
Abstract:: Since the preindustrial era, the average surface ocean pH has declined by 0.1 pH units and is predicted to decline by an additional 0.3 units by the year 2100. Although subtle, this decreasing pH has profound effects on the seawater saturation state of carbonate minerals and is thus predicted to...

Non-Invasive Sampling of Schistosomes from Humans Requires Correcting for Family Structure

Creator:: Steinauer, Michelle L., Christie, Mark R., Blouin, Michael S., Agola, Lelo E., Mwangi, Ibrahim N., Maina, Geoffrey M., Mutuku, Martin W., Kinuthia, Joseph M., Mkoji, Gerald M., and Loker, Eric S.
Abstract:: For ethical and logistical reasons, population-genetic studies of parasites often rely on the non-invasive sampling of offspring shed from their definitive hosts. However, if the sampled offspring are naturally derived from a small number of parents, then the strong family structure can result in biased population-level estimates of genetic parameters,...

Changing forest water yields in response to climate warming: results from long-term experimental watershed sites across North America

Creator:: Creed, Irena F., Spargo, Adam T., Jones, Julia A., Buttle, Jim M., Adams, Mary B., Beall, Fred D., Booth, Eric G., Campbell, John L., Clow, Dave, Elder, Kelly, Green, Mark B., Grimm, Nancy B., Miniat, Chelcy, Ramlal, Patricia, Saha, Amartya, Sebestyen, Stephen, Spittlehouse, Dave, Sterling, Shannon, Williams, Mark W., Winkler, Rita, and Yao, Huaxia
Abstract:: Climate warming is projected to affect forest water yields but the effects are expected to vary. We investigated how forest type and age affect water yield resilience to climate warming. To answer this question, we examined the variability in historical water yields at long‐term experimental catchments across Canada and the...

Uncertainty analysis: an evaluation metric for synthesis science

Creator:: Harmon, Mark E., Fasth, Becky, Halpern, Charles B., and Lutz, James A.
Abstract:: The methods for conducting reductionist ecological science are well known and widely used. In contrast, those used in the synthesis of ecological science (i.e., synthesis science) are still being developed, vary widely, and often lack the rigor of reductionist approaches. This is unfortunate because the synthesis of ecological parts into...

Intra‐ and inter‐annual variation in gray whale body condition on a foraging ground

Creator:: Soledade Lemos, Leila, Burnett, Jonathan D., Chandler, Todd E., Sumich, James L., and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Baleen whales store energy gained on foraging grounds to support reproduction and other metabolic needs while fasting for long periods during migration. Whale body condition can be used to monitor foraging success, and thus better understand and anticipate individual‐ and population‐level trends in reproduction and survival. We assessed the body...

Heterokaryon Incompatibility Is Suppressed Following Conidial Anastomosis Tube Fusion in a Fungal Plant Pathogen

Creator:: Ishikawa, Francine H., Souza, Elaine A., Shoji, Jun-ya, Connolly, Lanelle, Freitag, Michael, Read, Nick D., and Roca, M. Gabriela
Abstract:: It has been hypothesized that horizontal gene/chromosome transfer and parasexual recombination following hyphal fusion between different strains may contribute to the emergence of wide genetic variability in plant pathogenic and other fungi. However, the significance of vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility responses, which commonly result in cell death, in preventing these processes...
