Calibrating abundance indices with population size estimators of red back salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) in a New England forest [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Herpetologists and conservation biologists frequently use convenient and cost-effective, but less accurate, abundance indices (e.g., number of individuals collected under artificial cover boards or during natural objects surveys) in lieu of more accurate,

The natural partial order on an abundant semigroup [PDF]
Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 1987 In this paper we will study the properties of a natural partial order which may bedefined on an arbitrary abundant semigroup: in the case of regular semigroups werecapture the order introduced by Nambooripad [24]. For abelian PP rings our order coincides with a relation introduced by Sussman [25], Abian [1, 2] and further studied by Chacron [7 ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 The natural enemies hypothesis predicts that the abundance and diversity of antagonists such as predators and parasitoids of herbivores increases with the diversity of plants, which can lead to more effective top-down control of insect herbivores ...

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

The strength and form of natural selection on transcript abundance in the wild [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2020 AbstractGene transcription variation is known to contribute to disease susceptibility and adaptation, but we currently know very little about how contemporary natural selection shapes transcript abundance. Here, we propose a novel analytical framework to quantify the strength and form of ongoing natural selection at the transcriptome level in a wild ...
