Movement Patterns of Adult Male Ovenbirds during the Post-Fledging Period in Fragmented and Forested Boreal Landscapes
Download2001
Bayne, Erin M., Hobson, Keith A.
Movement of forest songbirds among isolated forest patches following breeding represents an important but poorly understood component of landscape ecology and metapopulation theory. Using radio-telemetry, we followed 44 male Ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapillus) during the post-fledging period to...

Movement and settlement patterns of animal offspring, along with the costs of occupying familiar and unfamiliar habitats, have been inferred frequently, but rarely have they been documented directly. To obtain such information, we monitored the individual fates of 205 (94%) of the 219 offspring...

On the importance of the choice of wind stress forcing to the modeling of the Mediterranean Sea circulation
Download1998
Myers, Paul G., Josey, Simon, Haines, Keith
A 1/4° degree ocean general circulation model is used to examine the role that four different wind stress climatologies play on the circulation of the Mediterranean. The wind stress climatologies examined are those derived from numerical weather prediction models (National Meteorological Center...

Lewis, M. A., Finnoff, D., Potapov, A.
A metapopulation model for alien species invasion of a lake network is coupled with an economic model of prevention. The model restates a stochastic problem in deterministic terms. It provides a macroscopic description of the lake network with prevention methods controlling both the outflow of...

Veit, R. R., Banks, J. E., Holmes, E. E., Lewis, M. A.
Most of the fundamental elements of ecology, ranging from individual behavior to species abundance, diversity, and population dynamics, exhibit spatial variation. Partial differential equation models provide a means of melding organism movement with population processes and have been used...

Aim Predictions of spread of non-indigenous species allow for greater efficiency in managing invasions by targeting areas for preventative measures. The invasion sequence is a useful concept in predictions of spread, as it allows us to test hypotheses about the transport and establishment of...

Background. It has been suggested that the routine use of statins preoperatively would reduce the risk of postoperative infection. We conducted this study to explore whether preoperative statin use was associated with infection after cardiac surgery (recipients of which have a higher-than-average...

Nisbet, Roger, Anderson, Kurt E., McCauley, Edward, Lewis, Mark A.
Much ecological research involves identifying connections between abiotic forcing and population densities or distributions. We present theory that describes this relationship for populations in media with strong unidirectional flow (e.g., aquatic organisms in streams and rivers). Typically,...

Rough fescue (Festuca campestris Rydb.) is an ecologically and economically important native plant species within grasslands of southwest Alberta. This is also a region where wildfires have become prevalent over the last decade. While the risk of long-term damage from fire may be determined by...
