  • Jumping in with Both Feet: Exploring Factors that Shape Juvenile Amphibian Movement

    Creator:
    Bredeweg, Evan M.
    Abstract:
    Investigation into how animals move within the landscape is important for both understanding of ecological processes and conservation management. Animal movement is important in shaping life history transitions, demographics, individual fitness, and species distributions. However, as landscapes become increasingly affected by human activities, movement becomes important as species navigate landscapes...

  • Incorporating the Impacts of Climate Variability on Growth in Fish Population Dynamics Models

    Creator:
    Moron Correa, Giancarlo Helar
    Abstract:
    Variations in ocean conditions influenced by climate fluctuations may impact fish populations by changing their spatial distribution, physiology, survival, and other ecological features. Somatic growth is a crucial aspect of the biology of fishes and an important contributor to biomass fluctuations. Climate variability also affects somatic growth rates along the...
