The dynamic Quaternary geology of the Pacific Ring of Fire created substantial challenges for biogeography. Fish life history and population genetic variation were shaped by climate change, repeated formation and subsidence of ice sheets, sea-level change, volcanism and tectonics, isostatic rebound, and now human activities. It is widely recognized in...
To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts.
We present a list of the top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary research questions directed toward informing some of the most important current
and future decisions about management of species, communities, and...
Oncorhynchus mykiss form partially migratory populations with anadromous fish that undergo marine migrations and residents that complete their life cycle in fresh water. Many populations’ anadromous components are threatened or endangered, prompting interest in understanding ecological and evolutionary processes underlying anadromy and residency. In this paper, we synthesize information to...
urinary eicosanoids, urinary 15F[subscript2t]-isoprostane (lipid peroxidation marker) and hematological/biochemical changes in plasma. Fifteen adult dogs had blood and urine samples obtained prior to, immediately and 4-hours following an agility exercise.
Results: Hematocrit, red blood cells (RBC), albumin, and hemoglobin increased following exercise, with greatest increases correlating to increased skill group...
Assessing uncertainties in hydrologic models can improve accuracy in predicting future streamflow. Here,
simulated streamflows using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model at coarse (1/16°) and fine (1/120°)
spatial resolutions were evaluated against observed streamflows from 217 watersheds. In particular, the adequacy
of VIC simulations in groundwater- versus runoff-dominated watersheds...
Adaptive governance is an emergent form of environmental governance that is increasingly called upon by scholars and
practitioners to coordinate resource management regimes in the face of the complexity and uncertainty associated with rapid
environmental change. Although the term “adaptive governance” is not exclusively applied to the governance of social-ecological...
