Understanding the effects of growth and size-at-age variation on the dynamics of fish populations
Understanding drivers of populations is of tantamount importance across a broad scale of researchers, from theoretical ecologists to tactical resource managers. Drivers may be internal feedbacks (density-dependent) or ... -
Understory Light Availability and Spatial Variation
(2013-07-25)Photosynthetically active radiation is a critical resource for understory plants and its availability and heterogeneity plays a major role in seedling regeneration and survival. This thesis examines various methods to ... -
Using Presence-Absence Data on Areal Units to Model the Ranges and Range Shifts of Select South African Bird Species
(2013-11-14)The study of where species occur is an important concern in ecology. Over the last decade, the occupancy model has been the primary tool used in attempts to answer where, when and why species occur where they do. In this ... -
Variability and Asynchrony in Salmon Returns: Implications for Monitoring and Ecosystem Services
Pacific salmon are well-known for their unique life-history characteristics, complex population structures, and the wide range of ecosystem services they provide. Variability in life-history characteristics across and ... -
Wildfire disturbance shapes the physical and biological condition of Pacific Northwest stream ecosystems
Wildfire constitutes one of the most influential processes affecting watershed conditions across the Pacific Northwest. Although the patterns and impacts of wildfire are well-described for terrestrial ecosystems, a ...
