Long Term Ecological Research Network

Effective management of ecological research data can insure the security and accessibility of data that cannot be collected again under the same conditions and plays a key role in every aspect of the research project from experimental design to publication. Commercial relational database management software, developed an adequate solution for long-term scientific data management. An archive file format provides the standard around which a data file management system is implemented. The system works within the parameters of existing components of the operating system software. Data filters and data engines are used to communicate data to and from applications. This paper …

Reaction Norms For Age And Size At Maturity In Response To Temperature: A Puzzle For Life Historians., D. Berrigan, Eric Charnov Jan 1994

Reaction Norms For Age And Size At Maturity In Response To Temperature: A Puzzle For Life Historians., D. Berrigan, Eric Charnov

Biology Faculty & Staff Publications

Ectotherms mature later at smaller size when growth rates are lowered by reductions in food quality but they mature later at larger sizes when growth rate is lowered by reductions in temperature. We argue that this general pattern has been neglected by life history theorists and suggest that an explanation for these strikingly different responses to two environmental cues might be found by considering correlations between the growth coefficient of the Bertalanffy equation and asymptotic size in a model for the evolution of age and size at maturity.


Integration Of Scientific Information Management And Environmental Research, Susan G. Stafford, James W. Brunt, William K. Michener Jan 1994

Integration Of Scientific Information Management And Environmental Research, Susan G. Stafford, James W. Brunt, William K. Michener

Long Term Ecological Research Network

A new dynamic between science and technology is changing the management and analysis of environmental information. As a result of the expanding scope of environmental research, developers of environmental databases must now address difficult and diverse issues: the wide variety of data being considered for inclusion, the size and complexity of databases being collected; their design, development and utilization, the different scales of data collection; increasingly sophisticated analytical requirements; and the integration of data from various sources and disciplines. Increased attention to spatial variability, scale and the integration of basic and applied research to address societal issues has several implications …
