In this report, we present future projections of climate and climate-related natural hazards in Benton County for the 2020s (2010–2039) and 2050s (2040–2069) relative to the 1971–2000 historical baseline. The projections are based on multiple global climate models for both a lower greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP 4.5) and a...
Automated sound broadcast systems have been used to address a variety of ecological questions, and show great potential as a management tool. Such systems need to be reliable because treatments are often applied in the absence of a human observer and system failure can cause methodological ambiguity. During the breeding...

Pathogens often have negative effects on wildlife populations, and disease management strategies are important for mitigating opportunities for pathogen transmission. Bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis; BTB) is widespread among African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) populations in southern Africa, and strategies for managing this disease vary. In two high profile parks, Kruger National...

Siletzia is a basaltic Paleocene and Eocene
large igneous province in coastal Oregon,
Washington, and southern Vancouver Island
that was accreted to North America in the
early Eocene. New U-Pb magmatic, detrital
zircon, and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages constrained by
detailed field mapping, global nannoplankton
zones, and magnetic polarities allow correlation

Understanding responses of marine species to temperature variability is essential
to predict impacts of future climate change in the oceans. Most ectotherms are
expected to adjust their behavior to avoid extreme temperatures and minimize
acute changes in body temperature. However, measuring such behavioral plasticity
in the wild is challenging. Combining...

Large numbers of hatchery salmon spawn in wild populations each year. Hatchery
fish with multiple generations of hatchery ancestry often have heritably lower
reproductive success than wild fish and may reduce the fitness of an entire population.
Whether this reduced fitness also occurs for hatchery fish created with
local- and...

This research deals with the problem of soil erosion in Cypress
Creek basin in West Tennessee and farmer participation in public
conservation programs. The study area is marginal to the
Tennessee Valley, a region identified in the 1930's as having a serious
agricultural soil erosion problem. The four voluntary programs...
