A comparison between traditional and measurement-error growth models for weakfish Cynoscion regalis
(PeerJ, 2016-09-21)
Inferring growth for aquatic species is dependent upon accurate descriptions of age-length relationships, which may be degraded by measurement error in observed ages. Ageing error arises from biased and/or imprecise age ...
Modeling wet headwater stream networks across multiple flow conditions in the Appalachian Highlands
(Wiley, 2018-05-25)
Despite the advancement of remote sensing and geospatial technology in recent decades, maps of headwater streams continue to have high uncertainty and fail to adequately characterize temporary streams that expand and ...
Using Historical Atlas Data to Develop High-Resolution Distribution Models of Freshwater Fishes
(Public Library of Science, 2015-06-15)
Understanding the spatial pattern of species distributions is fundamental in biogeography, and conservation and resource management applications. Most species distribution models (SDMs) require or prefer species presence ...
Trust ecology and the resilience of natural resource management institutions
(The Resilience Alliance, 2015)
The resilience of natural resource management (NRM) institutions are largely contingent on the capacities of the people and organizations within those institutions to learn, innovate, and adapt, both individually and ...
Global patterns of lake ice phenology and climate: Model simulations and observations
(American Geophysical Union, 1998-11-27)
Lake ice phenology parameters (dates of ice onset and thaw) provide an integrative climatic description of autumn to springtime conditions. Interannual variations in lake ice duration and thickness allow estimates of local ...
Edaphic and climatic effects on forest stand development, net primary production, and net ecosystem productivity simulated for Coastal Plain loblolly pine in Virginia
(American Geophysical Union, 2008-01-11)
We used SECRETS-3PG to simulate net primary production (NPP) and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) growing on the Virginia Coastal Plain, focusing on the effects of soils and climate, and ...
Assessing Urban Community Gardens’ Impact on Net Primary Production using NDVI
(Access, 2017-05-25)
Community gardens are one form of urban agriculture–growing of food and non-food products for sale or consumption within urban and peri-urban areas. Urban community gardens provide many benefits, including provisioning of ...
Nesting and Perching Habitat Use of the Madagascar Fish-Eagle
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2002)
We documented Madagascar Fish-Eagle (Haliaeetus vociferoides) nest and perch use on lakes and rivers and compared parameters of used trees to unused reference trees. Nest and perch trees were broader and taller, had more ...
Return Rates of Aluminum Versus Plastic Leg Bands from Electrocuted Harris's Hawks (Parabuteo Unicinctus)
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2009)
Ecological research programs investigating dispersal, migration, habitat selection, social structure, survival, reproductive success, and population size depend on the ability to identify individual study animals on multiple ...
Electric Shock Injuries in a Harris's Hawk Population
(Raptor Research Foundation, 2006)
Electrocution may be an important agent of mortality in many raptor populations, and has been implicated as a contributing factor in the endangerment of some species. In Tucson, Arizona U.S.A. the electrocution of Harris's ...
