This document summarizes Laurent J. Lamarque's PhD oral examination on the ecology and evolution of invasive maple tree species. The examination focused on (1) population demography, (2) traits promoting invasiveness, and (3) genetic and environmental determinism of traits in invasive maple trees. Key findings included that invasive populations of Acer negundo had higher abundance and increased plasticity compared to native populations, but this was not true for Acer platanoides. Reciprocal common gardens showed evidence of genetic differentiation and pre-adapted plasticity in Acer negundo, but more research is needed to understand genetic-environment interactions. The conclusion was that tree invaders are not fundamentally different from other invaders

This thesis examines population dynamics of Northern Cardinals and Carolina Wrens in an urban forest fragment using capture-mark-recapture analysis of data collected from 2010-2014. The study aims to determine if the forest fragment acts as a safe refuge or ecological trap for these species. Capture-mark-recapture was used to estimate survival, recruitment, and population growth rates as a function of sex, age, body size, season, and year. Results will help understand how these species persist in small habitat fragments and identify life stages most impacting population persistence to inform conservation efforts.
The rapid expansion of global trade and travel has increased the introduction of non-native pathogens. Climate change also influences pathogens directly and indirectly. Sudden Oak Death, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum, is provided as an example. Accurately identifying pathogen species and populations is critical for risk assessment and disease management, but this presents challenges. There is also limited understanding of global pathogen diversity and limited cooperation on knowledge sharing. The Phytophthora Database was created to address these issues through genetic characterization of isolates and providing analysis tools.

This poster presentation examines the spatial relationship between harmful conditions and nesting sites of critically endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles in Florida. The study determines buffers around debris convergence zones, boating/fishing sites, and harmful algal bloom event areas. It then intersects these buffered layers and compares the overlapping areas to known nesting site locations to identify where nests are in proximity to combinations of unhealthful conditions. The results could help inform conservation efforts to protect the reproductive capacity of this endangered species.

This presentation provides a description of the IPM project in Alabama that is based on technology convergence in the digital age. This presentation also discusses some of the major findings of the two-year insect survey project that demonstrated that sustainable agricultural practices in the long run can reduce insect outbreaks and need for corrective action. The presentation was delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America 2010, San Diego, CA.
Christen Long is seeking an entry-level position in research, fieldwork, or animal shelters with a background in animal sciences. They have a B.S. in Zoology from Humboldt State University with coursework in topics like ecology, physiology, and biology. Experience includes working as a wildlife technician conducting bat surveys, an independent contractor studying migratory bat habits, and a sub-contractor collecting acoustic data from bats and birds. Volunteer work involved beach surveys, assisting at a hatchery and animal rehabilitation centers, and autopsy assistance. Skills include laboratory techniques, small mammal handling, mist netting, and computer programs.
This document describes two methods for classifying frog calls using machine learning techniques: locality sensitive hashing (LSH) and Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM). For GMM classification, features are extracted from spectrograms of frog calls including filter responses and MFCC coefficients. Gaussian models are trained for each frog species using these features. Classification involves determining the most likely species model for a test call. Tests on 15 frog species showed promising 80% accuracy for GMM, approximating human performance. LSH classification was less accurate, suggesting noise and call variations limit its effectiveness.
