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 ... -

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 ... -
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

Climate change effects on Neotropical manakin diversity based on ecological niche modeling
(University of California Press, 2006-11-01)Assessing the nature and magnitude of potentialeffects of climate change on populations isimportant to anticipating effects on speciesdiversity for conservation planning. We usedecological niche modeling to predict present ... -
Influence of bill shape on ectoparasite load in Western Scrub-Jays
(University of California Press, 2002-08-01)Populations of the Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica) have bills specialized for feeding in their respective habitats. Populations in oak habitat have hooked bills, whereas those in pinyon habitat have pointed bills ... -
Predicting species’ geographic distributions based on ecological niche modeling
(University of California Press, 2001-08-01)Recent developments in geographic information systems and their application to conservation biology open doors to exciting new synthetic analyses. Exploration of these possibilities, however, is limited by the quality of ... -
Philippine bird taxonomy and conservation, a response to Collar
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-06-01)Collar (2007) attacked a recent paper of mine (Peterson 2006) on a number of grounds; he raised some valid points, and detected some errors in detail. Here, I respond to his criticisms, clarify misunderstandings, and urge ... -
Consistency of Taxonomic Treatments: A Response to Remsen (2005)

Phylogenetic position and generic placement of the Socorro Wren (Thryomanes sissonii)
(University of California Press, 2005-01-01)Since early in its taxonomic history, placement of the Socorro Wren (Thryomanes sissonii) has been an object of contention. Of particular interest is its current placement in the genus Thryomanes, which makes that genus ... -
Seasonal niches of Nearctic-Neotropical migratory birds: Implications for the evolution of migration

A critical evaluation of Kenyon’s Shag (Phalacrocorax [Stictocarbo] kenyoni)
(University of California Press, 2000-04-01)We examine the validity of Phalacrocorax [Stictocarbo] kenyoni, which was described by Siegel-Causey (1991) from the Aleutian Islands using midden remains and existing skeletal specimens. We emphasize a morphometric ... -
