A Tale of Two Spills: Novel Science and Policy Implications of an Emerging New Oil Spill Model

Creator:: Peterson, Charles H., Anderson, Sean S., Cherr, Gary N., Ambrose, Richard F., Anghera, Shelly, Bay, Steven, Blum, Michael, Condon, Robert, Dean, Thomas A., Graham, Monty, Guzy, Michael, Hampton, Stephanie, Joye, Samantha, Lambrinos, John, Mate, Bruce, Meffert, Douglas, Powers, Sean P., Somasundaran, Ponisseril, Spies, Robert B., Taylor, Caz M., Tjeerdema, Ronald, and Adams, E. Eric
Abstract:: The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil release posed the challenges of two types of spill: a familiar spill characterized by buoyant oil, fouling and killing organisms at the sea surface and eventually grounding on and damaging sensitive shoreline habitats, and a novel deepwater spill involving many unknowns. The subsurface retention of...

Linking Wolves and Plants: Aldo Leopold on Trophic Cascades

Creator:: Ripple, William J. and Beschta, Robert L.
Abstract:: Aldo Leopold, perhaps best known for his revolutionary and poignant essays about nature, was also an eloquent advocate during the 1930s and 1940s of the need to maintain wolves and other large carnivores in forest and range ecosystems.He indicated that their loss set the stage for ungulate irruptions and ecosystem...

The Rise of the Mesopredator

Creator:: Prugh, Laura R., Stoner, Chantal J., Epps, Clinton W., Bean, William T., Ripple, William J., Laliberte, Andrea S., and Brashares, Justin S.
Abstract:: Apex predators have experienced catastrophic declines throughout the world as a result of human persecution and habitat loss. These collapses in top predator populations are commonly associated with dramatic increases in the abundance of smaller predators. Known as “mesopredator release,” this trophic interaction has been recorded across a range of...

Climate change and forest disturbances

Creator:: Dale, Virginia H., Joyce, Linda A., McNulty, Steve, Neilson, Ronald P., Ayres, Matthew P., Flannigan, Michael D., Hanson, Paul J., Irland, Lloyd C., Lugo, Ariel E., Peterson, Chris J., Simberloff, Daniel, Swanson, Frederick J., Stocks, Brian J., and Wotton, B. Michael
Abstract:: Studies of the effects of climate change on forests have focused on the ability of species to tolerate temperature and moisture changes and to disperse, but they have ignored the effects of disturbances caused by climate change (e.g., Ojima et al. 1991).Yet modeling studies indicate the importance of climate effects...

Quantity is Nothing without Quality: Automated QA/QC for Streaming Environmental Sensor Data

Creator:: Campbell, John L., Rustad, Lindsey E., Porter, John H., Taylor, Jeffrey R., Dereszynski, Ethan W., Shanley, James B., Gries, Corinna, Henshaw, Donald L., Martin, Mary E., Sheldon, wade M., and Boose, Emery R.
Abstract:: Sensor networks are revolutionizing environmental monitoring by producing massive quantities of data that are being made publically available in near real time. These data streams pose a challenge for ecologists because traditional approaches to quality assurance and quality control are no longer practical when confronted with the size of these...

The Elusive Pursuit of Interdisciplinarity at the Human–Environment Interface

Creator:: Roy, Eric D., Morzillo, Anita T., Seijo, Francisco, Reddy, Sheila M. W., Rhemtulla, Jeanine M., Milder, Jeffrey C., Kuemerle, Tobias, and Martin, Sherry L.
Abstract:: Environmental challenges are complex and require expertise from multiple disciplines. Consequently, there is growing interest in interdisciplinary environmental research that integrates natural and social science, an often arduous undertaking. We surveyed researchers interested and experienced in research at the human–environment interface to assess perspectives on interdisciplinary research. Integrative interdisciplinary research...

Ecosystem Processes and Human Influences Regulate Streamflow Response to Climate Change at Long-Term Ecological Research Sites

Creator:: Jones, Julia A., Creed, Irena F., Hatcher, Kendra L., Warren, Robert J., Adams, Mary Beth, Benson, Melinda H., Boose, Emery, Brown, Warren A., Campbell, John L., Covich, Alan, Clow, David W., Dahm, Clifford N., Elder, Kelly, Ford, Chelcy R., Grimm, Nancy B., Henshaw, Donald L., Larson, Kelli L., Miles, Evan S., Miles, Kathleen M., Sebestyen, Stephen D., Spargo, Adam T., Stone, Asa B., Vose, James M., and Williams, Mark W.
Abstract:: Analyses of long-term records at 35 headwater basins in the United States and Canada indicate that climate change effects on streamflow are not as clear as might be expected, perhaps because of ecosystem processes and human influences. Evapotranspiration was higher than was predicted by temperature in water-surplus ecosystems and lower...

Linking top-down forces to the pleistocene megafaunal extinctions

Creator:: Ripple, William J. and Van Valkenburgh, Blaire
Abstract:: Humans, in conjunction with natural top-down processes and through a sequence of cascading trophic interactions, may have contributed to the Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions. The arrival of the first humans, as hunters and scavengers, through top-down forcing, could have triggered a population collapse of large herbivores and their predators. We present...

Wolves and the Ecology of Fear: Can Predation Risk Structure Ecosystems?

Creator:: Ripple, William J. and Beschta, Robert L.
Abstract:: We investigated how large carnivores, herbivores, and plants may be linked to the maintenance of native species biodiversity through trophic cascades. The extirpation of wolves (Canis lupus) from Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1920s and their reintroduction in 1995 provided the opportunity to examine the cascading effects of carnivore–herbivore interactions...

Wildlife Encounters by Lewis and Clark: A Spatial Analysis of Interactions between Native Americans and Wildlife

Creator:: Laliberte, Andrea S. and Ripple, William J.
Abstract:: The Lewis and Clark journals contain some of the earliest and most detailed written descriptions of a large part of the United States before Euro-American settlement.We used the journal entries to assess the influence of humans on wildlife distribution and abundance. Areas with denser human population, such as the Columbia...
