Review of considerations for restoration of tule elk to the San Francisco Peninsula and northern Monterey Bay counties of California

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2022
Successful translocations of tule elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) have been conducted since the early 1900s, with their state population rising from a nadir of as few as three surviving individuals to about 500 when reintroductions began, and to over 5 ...

Historical and recent processes shaping the geographic range of a rocky intertidal gastropod: phylogeography, ecology, and habitat availability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Factors shaping the geographic range of a species can be identified when phylogeographic patterns are combined with data on contemporary and historical geographic distribution, range-wide abundance, habitat / food availability and through comparisons ...

Towards a historical ecology of intertidal foraging in the Mafia Archipelago: archaeomalacology and implications for marine resource management

open access: yes, 2019
Understanding the timing and nature of human influence on coastal and island ecosystems is becoming a central concern in archaeological research, particularly when investigated within a historical ecology framework.

Body size changes in passerine birds introduced to New Zealand from the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
One feature of global geographic variation in avian body sizes is that they are larger on isolated islands than on continental regions. Therefore, this study aims to assess whether there have been changes in body size following successful establishment ...

The prelude to industrial whaling: identifying the targets of ancient European whaling using zooarchaeology and collagen mass-peptide fingerprinting

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Taxonomic identification of whale bones found during archaeological excavations is problematic due to their typically fragmented state. This difficulty limits understanding of both the past spatio-temporal distributions of whale populations and of ...

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,

Historical influences on community ecology [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
Vitt and Pianka's analyses revealed significant dietary shifts at six major divergence points. Why does California, a large and topographically complex state that spans fogdrenched redwood groves to desert sand dunes, have 30 species of snakes, whereas roughly twice that number occur in five square miles of lowland Costa Rican rainforest?

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Basic principles of temporal dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
All ecological disciplines consider temporal dynamics, although relevant concepts have been developed almost independently. We here introduce basic principles of temporal dynamics in ecology.
