Intraspecific home range scaling: a case study from the owl limpet (Lottia gigantea)

Creator:: Fenberg, Phillip B.
Abstract:: Background: The owl limpet (Lottia gigantea) is an ectothermic invertebrate that inhabits the rocky intertidal zone where it territorially defends home ranges and grazes algae growing on the rocks. Among endothermic species, home range scales isometrically with body mass. Hypothesis: Home range area scales isometrically (scaling exponent ∼1.0) across individuals...

Shrimp adjust their sex ratio to fluctuating age distributions

Creator:: Charnov, Eric L. and Hannah, Robert W.
Abstract:: Long-term data sets that quantitatively confirm basic ecological theory are rare for field populations. Highly variable recruitment often causes wide temporal variation in population age distribution and basic theory for adaptive sex ratio often predicts ‘sex ratio tracking’ to match the fluctuating age distribution. Using sex-changing shrimp as a model...

Human hunting mortality threshold rules for extinction in mammals (and fish)

Creator:: Charnov, Eric L. and Zuo, Wenyun
Abstract:: Question: Are there general life-history rules for exploitation-caused extinction of mammal populations? Mathematical methods: A population of size N faced with the added mortality of human exploitation will deterministically go extinct if its per-capita birth rate can no longer match its per-capita mortality rate as N approaches zero. We develop...

Using evolutionary economics to explain predator-prey anomalies in the fisheries or explaining micky mouse's ears

Creator:: Wilson, James R.
Abstract:: The development of several sub-fields of general economics, including those of bounded rationality, institutional economics and the evolutionary economics, has expanded the scope and intensity of the dialogue both within economics, as well as between economists and other scientists. One of the more important preoccupations of early evolutionary economics was...

The Influence of fire on the Radiocarbon Signature and Character of Soil Organic Matter in the Siskiyou National Forest, Oregon, USA

Creator:: Heckman, Katherine, Campbell, John, Powers, Heath, Law, Beverly, and Swanston, Chris
Abstract:: Forest fires contribute a significant amount of CO₂ to the atmosphere each year, and CO₂ emissions from fires are likely to increase under projected conditions of global climate change. In addition to volatilizing aboveground biomass and litter layers, forest fires have a profound effect on belowground carbon (C) pools and...

Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century

Creator:: Losos, Jonathan B., Arnold, Stevan J., Bejerano, Gill, Brodie, E. D. III, Hibbett, David, Hoekstra, Hopi E., Mindell, David P., Monteiro, Antonia, Moritz, Craig, Orr, H. Allen, Petrov, Dmitri A., Renner, Susanne S., Ricklefs, Robert E., Soltis, Pamela S., and Turner, Thomas L.
Abstract:: We live in an exciting time for biology. Technological advances have made data collection easier and cheaper than we could ever have imagined just 10 years ago. We can now synthesize and analyze large data sets containing genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, and multivariate phenotypes. At the same time, society's need for...

Backbones of evolutionary history test biodiversity theory for microbes

Creator:: O'Dwyer, James P., Kembel, Steven W., and Sharpton, Thomas J.
Abstract:: Identifying the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that determine biological diversity is a central question in ecology. In microbial ecology, phylogenetic diversity is an increasingly common and relevant means of quantifying community diversity, particularly given the challenges in defining unambiguous species units from environmental sequence data. We explore patterns of phylogenetic...

Amount and distribution of coarse woody debris in pine ecosystems of north-western Spain, Russia and the United States

Creator:: Herrero, Celia, Krankina, Olga, Monleon, Vicente J., and Bravo, Felipe
Abstract:: The quantity and characteristics of coarse woody debris (CWD) were examined in four distinct pine ecosystems of north-western (NW) Spain, NW Russia and the NW USA. The average CWD volume and biomass ranged from 3.76 m³ ha⁻¹, 1.55 Mg ha⁻¹ in pine plantations in NW Spain to 24.86 m3 ha⁻¹,...

Physical and chemical characteristics of the Yaquina Estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Callaway, R. J., Specht, David T., and National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (U.S.). Western Ecology Division. Coastal Ecology Branch
Abstract:: "After a brief description of the setting of the Yaquina Estuary, estuarine dynamics and classification, and estuarine chemistry are presented. Then, temperature-salinity relations are reviewed using the Rattray-Officer model in simulating variable distributions reported by Callaway and Specht (1982) and Callaway (1991). Finally, the numerical models DynHyd and WASP are...
