Distributions of Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) zoea in the California Current: Closing a life history gap

Creator:: Chin, Andrew
Abstract:: Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) is an important commercial species along the west coast of North America, and its population dynamics are highly influenced by interactions between environmental variability and early life history distribution. However, the distribution of the early larvae stages of Dungeness crab offshore is poorly known. To fill...

Greater sage-grouse reproductive ecology : linkages among habitat resources, maternal nutrition, and chick survival

Creator:: Gregg, Michael A.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations declined range wide during the past 50 years. Grouse populations were 2-3 times larger than the current population as recently as the early 1970's. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, declines were attributed habitat degradation that caused reduced productivity. Because chick survival remains the...

Effects of Vegetation Management on Wood Properties and Plant Water Relations of Four Conifer Species in the Pacific Northwest of the USA

Creator:: Aernouts, Joyce, Gonzalez-Benecke, Carlos A., and Schimleck, Laurence R.
Abstract:: In plantation forests, competition from unwanted vegetation may reduce survival and negatively impact tree growth. The goal of this study was to examine the influence of vegetation management treatments on plant water relations and wood properties. Control trees (no treatment) were compared to trees subjected to post-planting competing vegetation control...

Efficient algorithms for identifying relevant features

Creator:: Almuallim, Hussein and Dietterich, Thomas G.
Abstract:: This paper describes efficient methods for exact and approximate implementation of the MIN-FEATURES bias, which prefers consistent hypotheses definable over as few features as possible. This bias is useful for learning domains where many irrelevant features are present in the training data. We first introduce FOCUS-2, a new algorithm that...
