Comparative Studies Of Reaction Norms In Response To Light In Arabidopsis, Heidi J. Pollard
Comparative Studies Of Reaction Norms In Response To Light In Arabidopsis, Heidi J. Pollard
Masters Theses
The evolution of reaction norms has rarely been addressed from within a phylogenetic comparative framework, despite general agreement that we need a better understanding of how historical and deterministic processes (e.g., selection and constraints) interact to yield a particular pattern of variation of phenotypic plasticity within and across species. In this study the reaction norms to daylength and foliage shade(changes in light quality) were compared in eight accessions of iArabidopsis thaliana from Scandinavia and three closely related species, A. arenosa, A. lyrata subsp. petraea,and A. suecica. There was a high correlation among the trait means in response to daylength …
Production Of The Subtropical Seagrass, Halodule Wrightii Aschers., In Lower Laguna Madre, Texas, Joseph L. Kowalski
Production Of The Subtropical Seagrass, Halodule Wrightii Aschers., In Lower Laguna Madre, Texas, Joseph L. Kowalski
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
The autecology of shoal grass, Halodule wrightii Aschers., was studied at 1.2 m depth from June 1995 to February 1997 in Lower Laguna Madre (LLM), Texas. Halodule wrightii in LLM received about 47% surface irradiance, but otherwise displayed lower growth rates and biomass in nutrient-poor rhizosphere and water-column environments compared to H. wrightii populations in other Texas estuaries. High tissue N content and low C:N ratios belied low growth dynamics. Halodule wrightii in LLM is probably nutrient limited. A high nutrient demand by H. wrightii in a nutrient-poor environment may explain, in part, its gradual displacement by Thalassia testudinum and …

Remote Sensing Of Photosynthetic-Light-Use Efficiency Of Boreal Forest, Caroline J. Nichol, Karl F. Huemmrich, T. Andrew Black, Paul G. Jarvis, Charles L. Walthall, John Grace, Forrest G. Hall
United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications
Using a helicopter-mounted portable spectroradiometer and continuous eddy covariance data we were able to evaluate the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) as an indicator of canopy photosynthetic light-use efficiency (LUE) in four boreal forest species during the Boreal Ecosystem Atmosphere experiment (BOREAS). PRI was calculated from narrow waveband reflectance data and correlated with LUE calculated from eddy covariance data. Significant linear correlations were found between PRI and LUE when the four species were grouped together and when divided into functional type: coniferous and deciduous. Data from the helicopter-mounted spectroradiometer were then averaged to represent data generated by the Airborne Visible Infrared …

Comparative Taphonomy And Paleoecology Of A Glaciomarine Fauna, Carboniferous (Westphalian- Namurian) La Capilla Fm., Argentina, Rex A. Hanger, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe
Comparative Taphonomy And Paleoecology Of A Glaciomarine Fauna, Carboniferous (Westphalian- Namurian) La Capilla Fm., Argentina, Rex A. Hanger, Mohutsiwa Gabadirwe
Virginia Journal of Science
The Carboniferous La Capilla Fm. of the Calingasta-Uspallata basin of western Argentina contains a low diversity fauna inhabiting a continental shelf under glacial ice fronts advancing from the east. Distal glaciomarine sediments on these ice-influenced shelves of Gondwana are most commonly interpreted as being deposited under quiet, low-energy conditions. Taphonomic and paleoecologic analysis of a sample of the fauna reveals the following: low species richness, yet comparable equitability to coeval, tropical faunas; low articulation ratios and high pedicle valve dominance for brachiopods; diverse corrasion modes, about half relatively high categories; one hundred percent fracturing of brachiopod shells, with carinate fracture …

Differentiation Of Mexican Species Of Haematoloechus Looss, 1899 (Digenea: Plagiorchiformes): Molecular And Morphological Evidence, Virginia León-Règagnon, Daniel R. Brooks, Gerardo Perez-Ponce De Leon
Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications
Molecular evidence is interpreted in the light of morphology to examine the validity of several species of Haematoloechus described as Mexican endemics. Internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 and 28S ribosomal genes were sequenced for 11 isolates. Phylogenetic analysis of separate partitions and combined databases was conducted. Results were analyzed, in the light of morphological evidence. Haematoloechus macrorchis is proposed as a junior synonym of Haematoloechus longiplexus. Haematoloechus pulcher is a sibling species with Haematoloechus complexus in Lerma wetlands. In Mexico, Haematoloechus medioplexus is distributed along the east coast coinciding with the distribution of Rana berlandieri. The sister …
The Structure And Function Of Ecosystems In The Central North American Grassland Region, W. K. Luaenroth, I .C. Burke, M. P. Gutmann
The Structure And Function Of Ecosystems In The Central North American Grassland Region, W. K. Luaenroth, I .C. Burke, M. P. Gutmann
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
The central grassland region occupies the center of North America in the United States, Canada and Mexico and is a unique resource for the continent. While there are no other areas with comparable features, the largest similar grassland areas occur in Europe and Asia. The uniqueness of the region derives from its size, its relative flatness, and the smoothness of its physical gradients. The smooth gradients in precipitation and temperature are the reasons why most gradients in ecosystem properties are also smooth. The west-east gradient in precipitation and the north-south gradient in temperature result in corresponding gradients in plant community …

Recent Biodiversity Patterns In The Great Plains: Implications For Restoration And Management, Carolyn Hull Sieg, Curtis H. Flather, Stephan Mccanny
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Ecosystem, species and genetic dimensions of biodiversity have eroded since widespread settlement of the Great Plains. Conversion of native vegetation in the region followed the precipitation gradient, with the greatest conversion in the eastern tallgrass prairie and eastern mixed-grass types. Areas now dominated by intensive land uses are "hot spots" for exotic birds. However, species of all taxa listed as threatened or endangered are well-distributed across the Great Plains. These species are often associated with special landscape features, such as wetlands, rivers, caves, sandhills and prairie dog towns. In the long run, sustaining biodiversity in the Great Plains, and the …
Response Of Riparian Vegetation To Streamflow Regulation And Land Use In The Great Plains, W. Carter Johnson
Response Of Riparian Vegetation To Streamflow Regulation And Land Use In The Great Plains, W. Carter Johnson
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
The influence of human activities on riparian zone vegetation differs markedly by ecoregion and stream size. Large rivers, dams and water diversions affect ecological processes more than local land uses do. However, for small streams, the reverse is generally true. Examples demonstrating these relationships include studies completed on the Missouri River in North Dakota, the Platte River in Nebraska, and Foster Creek in western South Dakota. On the Missouri River, damming has stopped river meandering and the regeneration of riparian forests in gaps between reservoirs. In contrast, on the Platte River, diversion of a large portion of the flow for …

Surveys using rRNA-targeted probes specific for the 3 domains of life (Eucarya, Archaea, and Bacteria) indicated the presence, and at times high abundance, of archaeal rRNA in a variety of water masses surrounding Antarctica. Hybridization signals of archaeal rRNA contributed significantly to that of total picoplankton rRNA both north and south of the Polar Front in Drake Passage. Late winter surface water populations collected around the South Shetland Islands also yielded relatively high archaeal rRNA hybridization signals, approaching 10% or greater of the total rRNA. Summer samples collected in the western region of the Antarctic Peninsula and at McMurdo Sound …

Resource Partitioning Between Coyotes And Swift Foxes: Space, Time, And Diet, Ann M. Kitchen, Eric M. Gese, Edward R. Schauster
USDA Wildlife Services: Staff Publications
In its current distribution and abundance, the swift fox (Vulpes velox) has been significantly reduced from its historic range. A possible cause is competition with, and predation by, coyotes (Canis latrans). We investigated the level of spatial, temporal, and dietary resource use overlap between swift foxes and coyotes at the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site in southeastern Colorado. We captured and radio-tracked 73 foxes and 24 coyotes from April 1997 to August 1998. We collected 10 832 and 5350 locations of foxes and coyotes, respectively. Overall, home-range sizes of foxes and coyotes were 7.6 ± 0.5 (mean ± SE) …

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations
Beach morning glory, Ipomoea imperati (Vahl) Griseb. = I. stolonifera (Cirillo) Gmelin is a pantropical, prostrate vine that is an important pioneer species in the backshore of coastal beaches of six continents and many islands. The landward distribution of beach morning glory is influenced by dispersal and competition, and its seaward distribution is determined by the physical environment acting through movement of seeds away from the water and high seedling mortality in the backshore. It is occasionally found in disturbed sites on barrier islands well inland from the shore. Beach morning glory tolerates low levels of soil nutrients, sand scouring, …

Development And Application Of A Genetic Algorithm-Informational Modeling Approach To Exploatory Statistical Modeling Of Lizard-Habitat Relationships, James J. Minesky
Doctoral Dissertations
Anolis carolinensis, an arboreal lizard common to the southeasternUnited States, has been studied often in lab settings, but infrequently in its natural habitats with respect to the ecology of this species. The current study conducted exploratory statistical modeling of associations between 18 habitat features and the occurrence of A. carolinensis in study plots at the northern distributional limits of this species in eastern Tennessee.Statistical hypothesis-testing procedures and stepwise computer algorithms are commonly used by ecologists to analyze observational (nonexperimental)multivariate data, such as the data analyzed in this study.However, such procedures and algorithms are frequently, but inappropriately, used to find …
The Perspectives Of The Air Line Pilots Association On Strikes Of Wildlife By Aircraft, Paul F. Eschenfelder
The Perspectives Of The Air Line Pilots Association On Strikes Of Wildlife By Aircraft, Paul F. Eschenfelder
1999 Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada, First Joint Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC
Strikes of wildlife by aircraft cause thousands of life-threatening incidents, and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage to aircraft every year. This hazard is largely preventable, but it has not been properly addressed to date for a variety of reasons. ALPA believes that action should be taken now before a catastrophe occurs.
Collisions between aircraft and wildlife are increasing in frequency in North America due to growth in the number of migratory birds and other wildlife and the increased numbers of aircraft operations. This threat to human safety has manifested itself in several fatal strikes between aircraft and …

Zero Bird-Strike Rate - An Achievable Target, Not A Pipedream, S. M. Satheesan
1999 Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada, First Joint Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC
This paper explains how zero bird-strike rate can be achieved by any aerodrome by constant efforts and perseverance of a dedicated team as evidenced from the author’s experience on about 30 aerodromes in India. This paper stresses the importance of conducting survey of problem aerodromes every five years by an expert (Satheesan 1996c), necessity for employing an Ornithologist at every aerodrome, need for regular national-level training for bird-controllers (Satheesan, in press - b) and urgency for setting up Bird-strike Prevention Committees at national (interministerial) and airport levels. Bird strike rates were brought down to zero at the Trivandrum International Airport …
The Effect Of Conversion From Annual Row Crops To Short-Rotation Woody Crops On Soil Microbial Community Structure, Michael Joseph Kirchner
The Effect Of Conversion From Annual Row Crops To Short-Rotation Woody Crops On Soil Microbial Community Structure, Michael Joseph Kirchner
Doctoral Dissertations
Short-rotation woody crops (SRWC) are being considered as an alternative to burning coal for power production. Research is being conducted in West Tennessee to examine the environmental impact of converting from a traditional com silage system to growing sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) as a SRWC. The objective of this study was to determine what effect this conversion would have on soil microbial community structure, total microbial biomass and activities of soil microorganisms. Since soil microorganisms control the biogeochemical cycling of C, N, O, H and S in the environment, it is essential to understand how changes in crop management …
Modeling Habitat Attributes Of Cavity-Nesting Birds In The Uinta Mountains, Utah: A Hierarchical Approach, Joshua J. Lawler
Modeling Habitat Attributes Of Cavity-Nesting Birds In The Uinta Mountains, Utah: A Hierarchical Approach, Joshua J. Lawler
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Birds may have the ability to view their environments at a wide range of spatial scales; accordingly, they may make habitat-selection decisions at multiple spatial scales. I investigated the implications of hierarchy theory and a landscape perspective on nest-site selection in cavity-nesting birds in the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah. I used three different approaches to address the concept of a multi-scaled nest-site selection process. First, I conducted an exploratory study in which I investigated nest-site selection at three spatial scales for Red-naped Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus nuchalis), Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus), Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), and …

Hydrogeomorphic Factors Influencing Clonal Recruitment Of Cottonwoods In Mountain Valleys, Michael D. Roberts
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Riparian cottonwoods (populus spp.) are keystone pioneer species that contribute to critical streamside and in-stream habitats, water quality, and aesthetic and recreational value. Land use and river regulation have caused a widespread reduction in the extent and regeneration of this genus. The majority of research on Populus species' reproduction has examined seedling recruitment that dominates in wide alluvial valleys. In contrast, I evaluated reproductive strategies of Populus angustifoliain mountain valleys. Research was conducted in northern Utah on the Little Bear River, a gravel-bedded stream that flows north out of the Bear River Range onto deposits of Ancient Lake …
