Phylogenetically Diverse Introgression Drives Subtle Population Structure in Pacific RockfishesNARA Subscribed
Genomic methods have shown that admixture and introgression are common across animal taxa. Pacific rockfishes, genus Sebastes , are a group of commercially important species that primarily inhabit inshore, shelf and slope habitats along the North American west coast. Among these, Copper and Quillback Rockfishes are closely related species known to hybridize, particularly within the Salish Sea in North America's Pacific Northwe...
Nonlinear thinking in ecology and evolution: applying the threshold elemental ratio across levels of ecological organizationNARA Subscribed
Nonlinear dynamics govern ecological processes; thus, understanding thresholds is important for measuring and forecasting the effects of climate change and management of natural resources. However, identifying whether and how such thresholds transfer across ecological levels of organization remains challenging. We argue for a broadening of a foundational organismal concept from ecological stoichiometry theory, the threshold el...
Minimising bycatch is a pervasive challenge for sustainable fisheries management, the importance of which is amplified for non‐target species or populations that are in decline. In the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) walleye pollock ( Gadus chalcogrammus ) fishery, salmon—most notably Chinook ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) and chum ( O. keta )—are encountered as bycatch. Salmon bycatch in the EBS pollock fishery has become an issue of...
In landscapes recently impacted by continental glaciation, landslides may occur where topographic relief has been generated by the drainage of glacial lakes and ensuing post-glacial fluvial network development into unconsolidated glacially derived sediments and exhumed bedrock. To investigate linkages among environmental variables, post-glacial landscape development, and landslides, we created a landslide inventory of nearly 1...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
All the light we cannot see: Climate manipulations leave short and long‐term imprints in spectral reflectance of treesNARA Subscribed
Anthropogenic climate change, particularly changes in temperature and precipitation, affects plants in multiple ways. Because plants respond dynamically to stress and acclimate to changes in growing conditions, diagnosing quantitative plant‐environment relationships is a major challenge. One approach to this problem is to quantify leaf responses using spectral reflectance, which provides rapid, inexpensive, and nondestructive...
