This document summarizes research mapping climate change threats to habitat connectivity for three species in the Southeast United States. Researchers mapped current and projected future habitat suitability and connectivity between habitat nodes. On average, habitat suitability was projected to decrease within mapped connections by 2050, though the geography of these threats varied by species. The research aims to identify the habitat links most threatened and least threatened by climate change, as well as those connecting to the most important habitat nodes, to inform conservation planning.

Comm assembly intro
Community assembly is the process by which species colonize and interact locally from a regional species pool. Key ideas in community assembly include competitive exclusion where superior competitors persist, the niche concept of differing resource requirements, coexistence theory of stabilizing niche differences outweighing fitness differences, assembly rules of limited species combinations, environmental gradients structuring communities, and neutral theory of stochastic processes driving assembly. This semester aims to explore both stochastic and deterministic assembly mechanisms, trait and phylogenetic influences, and implications of dispersal, global change, and multiple scales on community assembly.
EEB 321 Community Ecology: phylogenetics lecture
This document outlines a lecture on community phylogenetics, which is the study of how evolutionary relationships among species affect community structure. It discusses classic theories of limiting similarity and how relatedness may influence communities. Contemporary approaches use phylogenetic tools to infer patterns of community assembly from evolutionary processes. The lecture also examines how phylogenetic distances can estimate species similarity and tests for phylogenetic over- and under-dispersion in communities. It further explores how differences in stabilizing niche differences versus fitness differences influence coexistence across evolutionary time.

The document summarizes key concepts in ecology. It discusses how ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. These interactions determine species distributions and abundances. The document also outlines different levels of ecology, from organismal to global scales. It provides examples of factors like climate that influence species distributions. Population ecology concepts like survivorship curves are presented. Community ecology examines topics such as trophic structure, succession, competition, and predation. Ecosystem ecology analyzes nutrient cycling and primary productivity.
Northern Alligator Lizard HSI Model
This document provides information on the habitat use and habitat suitability index model for the northern alligator lizard. It describes the species' preferences for grassy, bushy and rocky areas within forested areas. It also outlines variables used in the habitat suitability index model such as average distance to forest edge, percent rock cover, percent shrub canopy cover and percent forest canopy cover. The document indicates the model requires field testing but can help prevent potential habitat degradation and fill knowledge gaps regarding habitat selection for this species.

This study investigated how removing dispersal limitation at different spatial scales affects metacommunity diversity in a serpentine grassland. Seeds were vacuumed from plots at scales from 1m to 10km and mixed in experimental plots. Species richness increased nonlinearly with the scale of seed mixing. Species-environment associations also increased with scale. Community composition shifted with both the scale of mixing and environmental variables like soil moisture. The results suggest that dispersal limitation structures diversity at small scales, while species sorting increases in importance at larger scales as the species pool expands.

The document discusses regime shifts in the Anthropocene. It defines regime shifts as abrupt reorganizations of a system's structure and function. Understanding regime shifts is a social and scientific challenge. The document presents a framework to compare regime shifts across scales and drivers. It analyzes a database of 25 regime shifts and their associations with 57 drivers. Many regime shifts are connected to drivers like climate change, fishing, and coastal development. Managing local and regional drivers can help build resilience to global drivers and delays in regime shifts.

This document summarizes a study that compared landscape permeability models to observed puma occurrence data in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. The models were based on regression analyses of species detection levels from previous studies in relation to landscape features like distance to roads and housing density. The models estimated permeability on a scale of 0 to 1 across the landscape. When compared to 115,384 puma location points, the models showed pumas readily using moderately disturbed areas but rarely using heavily urbanized areas or steep slopes. While generic permeability models can help identify wildlife movement areas when species data is limited, more detailed studies may be needed for accurate connectivity planning in rural landscapes with moderate development.
Licentiate: Regime shifts in the Anthropocene
This document discusses regime shifts in ecosystems driven by human impacts in the Anthropocene. It provides background on regime shifts, which are abrupt reorganizations of an ecosystem's structure and function. A database is being developed to compare regime shifts across different systems. The database will classify regime shifts based on their drivers, impacts on ecosystem services, and proposed feedback mechanisms. Challenges include developing consistent methods and assessing uncertainties given complex social and ecological interactions. The goal is to better understand multi-causal regime shifts in order to inform management and policy responses.

The document discusses the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN) in Australia, which integrates established plot networks across the country to study the impacts of disturbance on ecosystems over decadal timescales. The LTERN provides long-term data collection from plots measuring flora, fauna, and processes. This infrastructure allows researchers to develop understanding of ecosystem functions and quantify relationships between vegetation and disturbance regimes like fire, grazing, and climate change. The value of LTERN is that it provides empirical data over long periods to test theories, support modeling, and inform evidence-based policy through collaborative research.
Arctic resilience assessment: exploring methods for scaling up

This document proposes a new approach to assessing landscape connectivity for wildlife in Colorado. It involves analyzing wildlife connectivity statewide using resistance surfaces and least-cost path models to identify key corridors and barriers. The analysis will focus on federal lands to enable identifying areas needing increased protection. Maps of current flow models show connectivity priorities across different regions of Colorado, including important corridors in the San Juan National Forest. The results will help justify enhanced conservation efforts to government agencies.
Controllability montpellier
This document discusses using network controllability analysis to assess how manageable regime shifts are. It notes that heterogeneous networks are difficult to control due to many driving nodes, while homogeneous networks are more controllable with fewer driving nodes. However, critics argue that a system's internal dynamics and observability are more important than just structure. The document also discusses how sparse heterogeneous networks may actually have more controllable edge dynamics. It explores using network science and resilience science to determine when to build resilience versus enable transformational change.
Cascading Effects CCS2016
This document discusses regime shifts in social-ecological systems. It addresses the social challenge of understanding when and where regime shifts are likely to occur, who they will affect, and how to avoid them. The science challenge is to study these phenomena using limited data and time for action. Potential interactions between regime shifts are examined through comparative frameworks analyzing shared drivers and feedback dynamics. This could help elucidate cascading effects between apparently disconnected systems and identify management strategies to build resilience.
Quadrat technique
The document outlines a study to determine the population sizes of two plant species, mimosa pudica and imperata cylindrica, in a school field. Quadrats of 1m x 1m will be used to count the coverage of each species in random locations. The percentage coverage will be calculated for each species and compared to test the hypothesis that mimosa pudica has a higher population size than imperata cylindrica in the school field. Materials needed include the two plant species, quadrats, recording materials, and tools for calculating percentages.
Distribution models unravel drivers of local adaptation in chickens

This study assessed the "big tree effect" in Kruger National Park savanna, where large trees facilitate understory growth. Researchers collected data on woody plant biomass and diversity near marula trees that were previously burned at high vs. low intensity. They found greater biomass and diversity near trees burned at low intensity compared to high intensity. Light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) effectively identified trees over 10 meters tall with only one missed identification. Maintaining lower burn intensities can help preserve both large trees and understory plant communities.

This document discusses population ecology concepts including:
- Populations are defined as groups of the same species in a specific area, characterized by number and density.
- Physical environment limits species' geographic distributions. Studies found climate influences kangaroo and plant species distributions.
- On small scales, individual distributions within populations can be random, regular, or clumped based on resource availability. On large scales, distributions are often clumped.
- Population density generally declines with increasing organism size, shown in studies of mammals, birds, and plants.
- Rarity is determined by a species' geographic range, habitat tolerance, and local population sizes, with less common combinations more vulnerable to extinction.

Wild pollinators enhance fruit set of crops regardless of honey bee abundance. A study of 41 crop systems worldwide found universally positive associations between fruit set and wild insect visits, demonstrating the agricultural value of wild pollinators. In contrast, fruit set increased significantly with honey bee visits in only 14% of systems. Overall, wild insects were more effective pollinators as fruit set increased more with rising wild insect visitation rates compared to honey bees. The diversity and abundance of wild pollinators have declined in many agricultural landscapes, but the impacts of these declines on crop yields depends on whether wild insects or managed honey bees are more important pollinators for specific crops.
Sidder_et_al-2016-Ecosphere
This document summarizes a study that used correlative niche models to evaluate how the potential distribution and climatic drivers of mountain pine beetle outbreaks have changed over time and may change in the future due to climate change. Specifically, the models analyzed outbreak data from 1960-1980 (historical), 1997-2010 (current), and projected conditions from 2040-2069 (future). The results indicated that suitable habitat and elevation range have expanded since the 1960s, and drought rather than temperature now drives outbreaks. Projections suggest suitable habitat will greatly reduce in the future, with high elevation forests becoming more at risk. The generalized linear model best predicted the current outbreak when trained on historical data, suggesting simpler models may have greater predictive success

This document discusses the role of network structure in community stability. It first notes that previous research found that nested network structures confer stability, but that species contributing most to nestedness are also more likely to go extinct. The document then outlines a plan to empirically evaluate these expectations using stability measures and analyses of nestedness contributions. It reviews different study designs and findings on pollinator responses to land use change. The goal is to map nestedness and extinction patterns worldwide to better understand what drives extinction order and how this relates to network structure.

This document summarizes information about plant competition in temperate regions. It discusses how abiotic factors like precipitation determine plant growth forms in different biomes like deserts and grasslands. Competition between plant species can limit population sizes and influence community structure and diversity. The competitive exclusion principle and niche differentiation theory suggest that closely similar species cannot coexist. Tilman's R* model of competition for limiting resources was tested in Minnesota grasslands, finding support that the species with the lowest resource threshold (R*) for nitrogen wins interspecific competition. Species' R* values correlated with root biomass, indicating their different resource allocation strategies influence competitive abilities.

Participatory development: the case of land degradation in southern Africa
The document discusses participatory development and stakeholder participation in addressing land degradation issues in southern Africa. It focuses on involving local communities in monitoring land degradation indicators and developing sustainable land management practices. The key challenges are the multi-dimensional nature of land degradation, current methods being unable to adequately address this, and lack of community participation. The document proposes developing degradation indicators that empower non-specialists to detect changes and identify solutions. It also advocates maintaining traditional livestock movement systems and adapting them to increased climate variability through cross-scale monitoring and knowledge sharing.

IARU Global Challenges 2014 Cornell Tracking our decline
There is growing attention to the global risks - not just local impacts - of present rates of biodiversity loss. It is worth keeping in mind that 'biodiversity loss' actually means the destruction (sometimes irreversible) – by us, people – of living organisms, Earth's 'genetic library', species, ecosystems and habitats. The fact that ecosystems are complex, adaptive, and locally specific means they can't be adequately represented in a single global measure. But without any overarching global perspective on losses, the locally contingent measures are 'untethered' to the real risks of systemic change. Scientists of many kinds are rising to the transdisciplinary challenge of dealing with this complexity in the face of global drivers of change (climate change, development pressures), recognizing that it is a challenge for everyone, not just academia.
Poster Presentation FS Canopy Coverage As PDF
This study examined the relationship between forest canopy coverage and the presence of invasive plant species along forest roads in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest. The researchers recorded data from 610 plots located within 7 meters of forest roads, measuring canopy coverage and identifying plant species. They found that as canopy coverage increased, the presence of two invasive species (St. John's Wort and oxeye daisy) significantly decreased. Higher canopy coverage plots generally had a lower total amount of invasive species compared to low canopy coverage plots. Maintaining narrower forest roads with greater canopy coverage may help reduce invasive species by limiting their spread along road corridors.

The study aimed to evaluate the correlation between mosquito distribution and environmental factors associated with RVF outbreaks. Maximum entropy, boosted regression trees, and random forest models were used to develop risk maps predicting the potential spread of RVF vectors based on climatic and environmental variables. The models found that variables like rainfall, number of dry months, and moisture indices influenced the distributions of Culex and Aedes mosquitoes. The risk maps developed can help target RVF surveillance and control in high-risk areas. Limitations included lack of data from known outbreak hotspots and unreliable local climatic/ecological databases
Adaptation-mitigation synergies in forest and agricultural landscapes
Find out how Landscape management is highly relevant to both adaptation and mitigation, which synergies in that landscape management exist and what we should take from that.
Kieron Stanley (Environment Agency) Mapping For Sustainable Communities 170608
The document discusses environmental inequalities and cumulative impacts. It notes that the most deprived communities are more likely to experience flooding, live in areas with worse river water quality, and be exposed to air pollution. Deprived areas also tend to be located closer to waste management sites and experience greater health effects from heat waves and lack of green space. The document calls for developing a better understanding of cumulative impacts from multiple environmental hazards over time. It advocates for collaborative, community-engaged approaches and considering procedural justice and vulnerability when analyzing environmental risks and resilience.
Effects of chronic moderate noise on animal behavior and distribution
Research summary poster, current as of December 2014, prepared for the AWWI's 10th Wind and Wildlife Research Meeting. Addresses masking, changes in behavior, and physiological stress. Includes data on sage grouse, frogs, mammals, and songbirds, as well as discussion of other considerations, uncertainties, and future research needs.
WE1.L09 - DESDYNI BIODIVERSITY AND HABITAT KEY VARIABLES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR...
This document discusses the use of lidar and radar data from the proposed DESDynI mission to characterize 3D vegetation structure for assessments of biodiversity and habitat. It identifies key variables like canopy height, height profiles, biomass, and cover that influence habitat suitability and have been correlated with species diversity. Fusion of lidar and radar is highlighted as providing more complete and accurate global maps of these important structural metrics compared to either sensor alone. The document concludes that lidar-radar fusion holds promise for advancing scientific understanding of biodiversity patterns in relation to forest structure and how these may change in response to disturbance events.

Using forest inventory data to assess exposure of U.S. forest land to nearby ...
This document summarizes research using forest inventory data and satellite imagery to assess exposure of U.S. forest land to nearby disturbances and land use change from 2001-2010. The researchers used a neighborhood approach to link forest inventory plots to pixels showing canopy disturbances or land use conversions. They found that 23% of forest land experienced a disturbance such as fire, stress, or removal, with private lands experiencing more disturbance than public lands. Disturbance exposure varied by forest type and ownership, with western forests generally experiencing more fire and eastern forests more removals. 13-15% of forests experienced multiple co-occurring disturbances. The neighborhood approach provides consistent exposure metrics across the U.S. to monitor disturbances over time.

This document outlines a forest dynamics model to project changes in US forest conditions through 2070 under different climate change and socioeconomic scenarios. The goals are to understand recent changes using Forest Inventory Analysis data and project future changes. The model uses empirical transition models informed by climate, human, and market drivers to impute future forest plots and maps. Results will show projected forest inventory time series and maps of forest attributes to help understand vulnerability and resilience of US forests over time.

Landscape assessment of habitat loss: a new approach for a global biodiversit...
This document presents a new approach to assessing landscape alteration in the North American Coastal Plain biodiversity hotspot. The approach accounts for changes in vegetation structure, fire regimes, and direct habitat loss. It finds that 85% of the Coastal Plain is altered, with some of the most species-rich ecosystems experiencing 96% or more alteration due to highly departed vegetation and fire regimes and conversion to other land uses. Spatial analysis identifies areas with both high species richness and high alteration that could be prioritized for conservation efforts in this newly designated global biodiversity hotspot.
The Future of the longleaf pine ecosystem
My portion of a 3-part presentation as part of the USGS's National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center's webinar on state-and-transition simulation modeling, May 7, 2015. For more information: https://nccwsc.usgs.gov/webinar/455
Ecosystem vulnerability assessment
The document discusses assessing climate change vulnerability for ecosystems in the Southeast and Caribbean. It describes a two-phase approach: Phase 1 qualitatively assesses sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity based on literature and GIS data for 12 ecosystems. Phase 2 quantitatively assesses vulnerability for two ecosystems using the Habitat Climate Change Vulnerability Index, which calculates climate stress, envelope shift, and overall vulnerability scores. The assessment finds moderate to high vulnerability for the ecosystems studied. It identifies uncertainties and needs for incorporating additional factors and assessing more ecosystems.
Assessing ecosystem vulnerability
This document summarizes an assessment of climate change vulnerability for 12 ecosystems in the Southeast US and Caribbean. Two assessment approaches were used: Phase 1 synthesized literature and GIS data to evaluate sensitivity, exposure, and adaptive capacity. Phase 2 used NatureServe's Habitat Climate Change Vulnerability Index to quantify vulnerability scores for two ecosystems. Both approaches found similar moderate to high vulnerability ratings. Future research needs include better understanding impacts on hydrology, disturbance regimes, and species interactions under climate change. The assessments provide a starting point for adaptation planning but incorporating additional factors could improve the analysis.

Using LANDFIRE data to assess ecological threats
Two examples of how I used LANDFIRE data to assess threats and determine conservation needs for ecosystems in the southeastern US. In the first, I analyze vegetation modification across the Southeast Coastal Plain. In the second, I simulate potential future scenarios of change in the longleaf pine ecosystem. All using LANDFIRE data!

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

- 6. Research questions • Where are the most and least threatened connections for each species? • Do species vary in the climate change threat to their connectivity?
- 7. Alternative resistance surfaces Niche model Empirical (literature) Red High resistance Blue Low resistance Expert opinion (surveys) Black bear
- 8. Mapping connectivity Resistance surface Habitat nodes Connections Linkage Mapper software: least-cost paths between nodes
- 9. Future threat is change in suitability Black bear percent change in suitability recent to 2050, A2 scenario Red Decrease Blue Increase
- 10. Red Large decrease Orange Moderate decrease Blue Increase Black bear niche resistance, Linkage Mapper Change in habitat suitability
- 12. BatSnake Bear Changes in suitability by ecoregion Red = largest decrease Blue = increase
