Chemodiversity Of Dissolved Organic Matter In The Amazon Basin, Michael Gonsior, Juliana Valle, Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin, Norbert Hertkorn, David Bastviken, Jenna L. Luek, Mourad Harir, Wanderley Bastos, Alex Enrich-Prast

Civil & Environmental Engineering

Regions in the Amazon Basin have been associated with specific biogeochemical processes, but a detailed chemical classification of the abundant and ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM), beyond specific indicator compounds and bulk measurements, has not yet been established. We sampled water from different locations in the Negro, Madeira/Jamari and Tapajós River areas to characterize the molecular DOM composition and distribution. Ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) combined with excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) revealed a large proportion of ubiquitous DOM but also unique area-specific molecular signatures. Unique to the DOM of …

Planning For Sustainability In Small Municipalities: The Influence Of Interest Groups, Growth Patterns, And Institutional Characteristics, Vanessa R. Levesque, Kathleen P. Bell, Aram J. K. Calhoun

Faculty Publications

How and why small municipalities promote sustainability through planning efforts is poorly understood. We analyzed ordinances in 451 Maine municipalities and tested theories of policy adoption using regression analysis.We found that smaller communities do adopt programs that contribute to sustainability relevant to their scale and context. In line with the political market theory, we found that municipalities with strong environmental interests, higher growth, and more formal governments were more likely to adopt these policies. Consideration of context and capacity in planning for sustainability will help planners better identify and benefit from collaboration, training, and outreach opportunities.

Permanent Draft Genome Sequence For Frankia Sp. Strain Ei5c, A Single-Spore Isolate Of A Nitrogen-Fixing Actinobacterium, Isolated From The Root Nodules Of Elaeagnus Angustifolia, Timothy D'Angelo, Rediet Oshone, Feseha Abebe-Akele, Stephen D. Simpson, Krystalynne Morris, William Kelley Thomas, Louis S. Tisa

New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Publications

Frankia sp. strain EI5c is a member of Frankia lineage III, which is able to reinfect plants of the Eleagnaceae, Rhamnaceae, Myricaceae, and Gymnostoma, as well as the genus Alnus. Here, we report the 6.6-Mbp draft genome sequence of Frankia sp. strain EI5c with a G+C content of 72.14 % and 5,458 candidate protein-encoding genes.

Geospatial Modeling Approach To Monument Construction Using Michigan From A.D. 1000–1600 As A Case Study, Meghan L. Howey, Michael W. Palace, Crystal H. Mcmichael

Faculty Publications

Building monuments was one way that past societies reconfigured their landscapes in response to shifting social and ecological factors. Understanding the connections between those factors and monument construction is critical, especially when multiple types of monuments were constructed across the same landscape. Geospatial technologies enable past cultural activities and environmental variables to be examined together at large scales. Many geospatial modeling approaches, however, are not designed for presence-only (occurrence) data, which can be limiting given that many archaeological site records are presence only. We use maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt), which works with presence-only data, to predict the distribution of monuments …

Development Of Multiple Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers For Ceratina Calcarata (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Using Genome-Wide Analysis, Wyatt A. Shell, Sandra M. Rehan

New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Publications

The small carpenter bee, Ceratina calcarata (Robertson), is a widespread native pollinator across eastern North America. The behavioral ecology and nesting biology of C. calcarata has been relatively well-studied and the species is emerging as a model organism for both native pollinator and social evolution research. C. calcarata is subsocial: reproductively mature females provide extended maternal care to their brood. As such, studies of C. calcarata may also reveal patterns of relatedness and demography unique to primitively social Hymenoptera. Here, we present 21 microsatellite loci, isolated from the recently completed C. calcarata genome. Screening in 39 individuals across their distribution …

2016 Nrpt: Addressing Public Concerns During Spill Response, Coastal Response Research Center (Crrc)

Coastal Response Research Center

On June 28-29, 2016, the Coastal Response Research Center (CRRC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Gulf of Mexico Disaster Response Center (DRC) co-sponsored a NOAA Regional Preparedness Training (NRPT) workshop at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) in St. Petersburg, FL entitled “Addressing Public Concerns during Response... sorting fact from fiction during response.” The workshop focused on understanding the public’s desire to be informed during a response and the need to plan for and execute an effective public communications plan during a potential oil spill.

Following the workshop, CRRC and DRC conducted a one-day training …

Sustainability Science Graduate Students As Boundary Spanners, Spencer R. Meyer, Vanessa R. Levesque, Karen H. Bieluch, Michelle L. Johnson, Bridie Mcgreavy, Stacia Dreyer, Hollie Smith

Faculty Publications

Graduate training in sustainability science (SS) focuses on interdisciplinary research, stakeholder-researcher partnerships, and creating solutions from knowledge. But becoming a sustainability scientist also requires specialized training that addresses the complex boundaries implicit in sustainability science approaches to solving social-ecological system challenges. Using boundary spanning as a framework, we use a case study of the Sustainability Solutions Initiative (SSI) at the University of Maine to explicate key elements for graduate education training in SS. We used a mixed-methods approach, including a quantitative survey and autoethnographic reflection, to analyze our experiences as SSI doctoral students. Through this research, we identified four essential …
