Trophic rank and the species–area relationship.
(Ecological Society of America, 1999)The species–area relationship may be the strongest empirical generalization in community ecology. We explore the effect of trophic rank upon the ‘‘strength’’ of the species–area relationship, as measured by z, the slope ... -
Grazers, producer stoichiometry, and the light : nutrient hypothesis revisited.
(Ecological Society of America, 2007)The stoichiometric light : nutrient hypothesis (LNH) links the relative supplies of key resources with the nutrient content of tissues of producers. This resource-driven variation in producer stoichiometry, in turn, can ... -
Constraints on primary producer n:p stoichiometry along n:p supply ratio gradients
(Ecological Society of America, 2005)A current principle of ecological stoichiometry states that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (N:P) of primary producers should closely match that from environmental nutrient supplies. This hypothesis was tested using data ... -
Stoichiometry and planktonic grazer composition over gradients of light, nutrients, and predation risk
(the Ecological Society of America, 2004)Mechanisms that explain shifts in species composition over environmental gradients continue to intrigue ecologists. Ecological stoichiometry has recently provided a new potential mechanism linking resource (light and ... -
Designed ecosystem services: application of ecological principles in wastewater treatment engineering
(Ecological Society of America, 2004)Wastewater treatment engineering and ecology have complementary goals and need to interact much more closely. Wastewater engineers and ecologists share strong interests in the structure and function of biological communities, ... -
Responses of a bacterial pathogen to phosphorus limitation of its aquatic invertebrate host
(The Ecological Society of America, 2008)Host nutrition is thought to affect the establishment, persistence, and severity of pathogenic infections. Nutrient-deficient foods possibly benefit pathogens by constraining host immune function or benefit hosts by limiting ... -
Infectious disease ecology: Effects of ecosystems on disease and of disease on ecosystems: A Review
(University of Chicago Press, 2009-11-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
Phylogenetic Patterns in Montane Troglodytes Wrens
(University of California Press, 1999-05-01)Phylogenetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of 10 species of wrens in Troglodytes and related genera suggest a new hypothesis of relationships for the group. The Winter Wren (T. troglodytes) and the anomalous ... -
Genetic Variation and Differentiation in Mexican Populations of Common Bush-Tanagers and Chestnut-Capped Brush-Finches
(University of California Press, 1992-02-01)Genetic differentiation among four Mexican populations each of Common Bush-tanagers (Chlorospingus ophthalmicus) and Chestnut-capped Brush-finches (Atlapetes brunneinucha) was evaluated using allozyme electrophoresis. In ... -
Gene Flow in Scrub Jays: Frequency and Direction of Movement
(University of California Press, 1991-11-01)Based on strong differences in plumage coloration between coastal California (californica subspecies group) and Great Basin (woodhousesii subspecies group) populations of Scrub Jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens), museum ... -
Geographic Variation in the Ontogeny of Beak Coloration of Gray-Breasted Jays (Aphelocoma ultramarina)
(University of California Press, 1991-05-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
Climate Change Effects on Plague and Tularemia in the United States
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2007-11-29)Plague and tularemia are serious zoonotic diseases endemic to North America. We evaluated spatial patterns in their transmission in view of changing climates. First, we tested whether observed shifts since the 1960s are ... -
Niche Modeling Perspective on Geographic Range Predictions in the Marine Environment Using a Machine-learning Algorithm
(Oceanography Society, 2003-01-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
Harnessing Museum Resources for the Census of Marine Life: The FISHNET Project
(Oceanography Society, 2000-01-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
Inferring distributions of chirodropid box-jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) in geographic and ecological space using ecological niche modeling
(Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2009-05-29)Geographic distributions of many marine species are poorly documented or understood, which is particularly true for marine invertebrates. Ecological niche modeling (ENM) offers a means to address this issue, but to date ... -
What matters for predicting spatial distributions of trees: Techniques, data, or species’ characteristics?
(Ecological Society of America, 2007-10-01)Data characteristics and species traits are expected to influence the accuracy with which species' distributions can be modeled and predicted. We compare 10 modeling techniques in terms of predictive power and sensitivity ... -
Niche differentiation and fine-scale regional projections for Argentine ants based on remotely-sensed data
(Ecological Society of America, 2006-10-01)Modeling ecological niches of species is a promising approach for predicting the geographic potential of invasive species in new environments. Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) rank among the most successful invasive ... -
Predicting potential geographic distributions of invading species
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2005-07-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
The ornithology of the Real Expedición Botánica a Nueva España (1787-1803): An analysis of the manuscripts of José Mariano Mociño
(University of California Press, 2007-11-01)Until recently, a major gap has existed in our knowledge regarding Mexican bird information from the Real Expedición Botánica a Nueva España in the late 1700s. This expedition (1787–1803) was commanded by Martín de Sessé; ... -
Climate change effects on Neotropical manakin diversity based on ecological niche modeling
