“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...

Amplification and dampening of soil respiration by changes in temperature variability

Creator:: Sierra, C. A., Harmon, M. E., Thomann, E., Perakis, S. S., and Loescher, H. W.
Abstract:: Accelerated release of carbon from soils is one of the most important feedbacks related to anthropogenically induced climate change. Studies addressing the mechanisms for soil carbon release through organic matter decomposition have focused on the effect of changes in the average temperature, with little attention to changes in temperature variability....

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...

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...

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...

A new instrument to measure plot-scale runoff

Creator:: Stewart, R. D., Liu, Z., Rupp, D. E., Higgins, C. W., and Selker, J. S.
Abstract:: Accurate measurement of the amount and timing of surface runoff at multiple scales is needed to understand fundamental hydrological processes. At the plot scale (i.e., length scales on the order of 1–10 m) current methods for direct measurement of runoff either store the water in a collection vessel, which is...

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...

Genome-Wide Profiling and Analysis of Arabidopsis siRNAs

Creator:: Kasschau, Kristin D., Fahlgren, Noah, Chapman, Elisabeth J., Sullivan, Christopher M., Cumbie, Jason S., Givan, Scott A., and Carrington, James C.
Abstract:: Eukaryotes contain a diversified set of small RNA-guided pathways that control genes, repeated sequences, and viruses at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Genome-wide profiles and analyses of small RNAs, particularly the large class of 24-nucleotide (nt) short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), were done for wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and silencing pathway mutants...

Thermal-plume fibre optic tracking (T-POT) test for flow velocity measurement in groundwater boreholes

Creator:: Bense, V. F, Hochreutener, R., Bour, O., Le Borgne, T., Lavenant, N., and Selker, J. S.
Abstract:: We develop an approach for measuring in-well fluid velocities using point electrical heating combined with spatially and temporally continuous temperature monitoring using distributed temperature sensing (DTS). The method uses a point heater to warm a discrete volume of water. The rate of advection of this plume, once the heating is...
