Macdonald, S. E., Schmiegelow, F. K. A., Shepherd, L.
Abstract: Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations in Jasper (JNP) and Banff National Parks (BNP) have declined since the 1970s, coincident with reduced fire activity in both parks, relative to historic levels. Some researchers have suggested that long periods without fire may...

Mandibles and labrum-epipharynx of tiger beetles: Basic structure and evolution (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cicindelitae)
Download2011
Acorn, J. H., Ball, G. E., Shpeley, D.
Abstract: Using for comparison with, and as outgroups for, supertribe Cicindelitae, we describe and illustrate the mandibles and labrum-epipharynx of the basal geadephagans Trachypachus gibbsii LeConte, 1861 (family Trachypachidae), and family Carabidae: Pelophila rudis (LeConte, 1863)...

Mathematical modeling of nitrous oxide emissions from an agricultural field during spring thaw
Download1999
Confidence in regional estimates of N2O emissions used in national greenhouse gas inventories could be improved by using mathematical models of the biological and physical processes by which these emissions are known to be controlled. However these models must first be rigorously tested against...

Maximizing gain at restricted group coancestry in selection from populations with a hiearchical structure
Download2000
A general model was derived to find a set of optimal family contributions within a single cycle of selection from populations with a strictly hierarchical structure. The model maximized genetic gain at restricted selection proportion and group coancestry, or minimized group coancestry at...

Methane efflux form boreal wetlands: theory and testing of the ecosystem model ecosys with chamber and tower flux measurements
Download2002
A robust model of CH4 emission from terrestrial ecosystems should be capable of simulating the temporal and spatial variability that characterizes field measurements. Such a model should couple a biologically based treatment of microbial CH4 transformations with a physically based treatment of...

Abstract: Accurate description of spatial distribution of species is essential for correctly modeling macroecological patterns and thus to infer mechanisms of species coexistence. The Poisson and negative binomial distribution (NBD) are most widely used to respectively model random and aggregated...

Modeling stomatal and nonstomatal effects of water deficits on CO2 fixation in a semiarid grassland
Download2007
The confidence with which we can model water deficit effects on grassland productivity is limited by uncertainty about the mechanisms, stomatal and nonstomatal, by which soil water deficits reduce CO2 uptake. We propose that these reductions can accurately be modeled from a combination of...

Modeling the carbon balance of Amazonian rain forests: resolving ecological controls on net ecosystem productivity
Download2009
de Oliveira, R. C., Munger, J. W., Wofsy, S. C., Hutra, L. R., Grant, R. F., Saleska, S. R.
Abstract: There is still much uncertainty about ecological controls on the rate and direction of net CO(2) exchange by tropical rain forests, in spite of their importance to global C cycling. These controls are thought to arise from hydrologic and nutrient constraints to CO(2) fixation caused by...
