Dynamics of a recovering Arctic bird population: the importance of climate, density dependence, and site quality

Creator:: Bruggeman, Jason E., Swem, Ted, Andersen, David E., Kennedy, Patricia L., and Nigro, Debora
Abstract:: Intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect vital rates and population-level processes, and understanding these factors is paramount to devising successful management plans for wildlife species. For example, birds time migration in response, in part, to local and broadscale climate fluctuations to initiate breeding upon arrival to nesting territories, and prolonged inclement...

Estimating wind-turbine-caused bird and bat fatality when zero carcasses are observed

Creator:: Huso, Manuela M. P., Dalthorp, Dan, Dail, David, and Madsen, Lisa
Abstract:: Many wind-power facilities in the United States have established effective monitoring programs to determine turbine-caused fatality rates of birds and bats, but estimating the number of fatalities of rare species poses special difficulties. The loss of even small numbers of individuals may adversely affect fragile populations, but typically, few (if...

Patterns of loggerhead turtle ontogenetic shifts revealed through isotopic analysis of annual skeletal growth increments

Creator:: Ramirez, Matthew D., Avens, Larisa, Seminoff, Jeffrey A., Goshe, Lisa R., and Heppell, Selina S.
Abstract:: Ontogenetic changes in resource use often delimit transitions between life stages. Ecological and individual factors can cause variation in the timing and consistency of these transitions, ultimately affecting community and population dynamics through changes in growth and survival. Therefore, it is important to document and understand behavioral and life history...

Beyond arctic and alpine: the influence of winter climate on temperate ecosystems

Creator:: Ladwig, Laura M., Petrie, Matthew D., Reinmann, Andrew B., Smith, Jane G., Ratajczak, Zak R., Ocheltree, Troy W., Hafich, Katya A., Churchill, Amber C., Frey, Sarah J. K., Fuss, Colin B., Kazanski, Clare E., and Muñoz, Juan D.
Abstract:: Winter climate is expected to change under future climate scenarios, yet the majority of winter ecology research is focused in cold-climate ecosystems. In many temperate systems, it is unclear how winter climate relates to biotic responses during the growing season. The objective of this study was to examine how winter...

The consequences of photoperiodism for organisms in new climates

Creator:: Grevstad, Fritzi S. and Coop, Leonard B.
Abstract:: A change in climate is known to affect seasonal timing (phenology) of the life stages of poikilothermic organisms whose development depends on temperature. Less understood is the potential for even greater disruption to the life cycle when a phenology shift exposes photoperiod-sensitive life stages to new day lengths. We present...

Are large macroalgal blooms necessarily bad? nutrient impacts on seagrass in upwelling-influenced estuaries

Creator:: Hessing-Lewis, Margot L., Hacker, Sally D., Menge, Bruce A., McConville, Sea-oh, and Henderson, Jeremy
Abstract:: Knowledge of nutrient pathways and their resulting ecological interactions can alleviate numerous environmental problems associated with nutrient increases in both natural and managed systems. Although not unique, coastal systems are particularly prone to complex ecological interactions resulting from nutrient inputs from both the land and sea. Nutrient inputs to coastal...

Key areas for conserving United States’ biodiversity likely threatened by future land use change

Creator:: Martinuzzi, S., Radeloff, V. C., Higgins, J. V., Helmers, D. P., Plantinga, A. J., and Lewis, D. J.
Abstract:: A major challenge for biodiversity conservation is to mitigate the effects of future environmental change, such as land use, in important areas for biodiversity conservation. In the United States, recent conservation efforts by The Nature Conservancy and partners have identified and mapped the nation's Areas of Biodiversity Significance (ABS), representing...

The importance of lake-specific characteristics for water quality across the continental United States

Creator:: Read, Emily K., Patil, Vijay P., Oliver, Samantha K., Hetherington, Amy L., Brentrup, Jennifer A., Zwart, Jacob A., Winters, Kirsten, Corman, Jessica R., Nodine, Emily R., Woolway, Iestyn, Dugan, Hilary A., Jaimes, Aline, Santoso, Arianto, Hong, Grace S., Winslow, Luke A., Hanson, Paul C., and Weathers, Kathleen C.
Abstract:: Lake water quality is affected by local and regional drivers, including lake physical characteristics, hydrology, landscape position, land cover, land use, geology, and climate. Here, we demonstrate the utility of hypothesis testing within the landscape limnology framework using a random forest algorithm on a national-scale, spatially explicit data set, the...

Creator:: Highland, Steven A., Miller, Jeffrey C., and Jones, Julia A.
Abstract:: Macromoth diversity, abundance, and community structure in the topographically complex HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and LTER site was studied on the west slope of the Cascade Range, Oregon. Data on 493 macromoth species (62,221 individuals) was sampled eight times/year at 20 locations from 2004 to 2008 and examined using multivariate...
