Spatial and temporal distribution of populations selected to represent trophic structure
A population is a group of organisms of the same species. Like canaries in the coalmine, changes in populations of organisms can be important indicators of environmental changes.
Population dynamics of reintroduced Gunnison’s prairie dogs in a semi-arid grassland environment
Poster Number: 342 Presenter/Primary Author: Mike Friggens Prairie dog (Cynomys spp. ) populations have declined by 98% across their range.
Management Intensity and Litter Chemistry Interact to Determine Microarthropod Succession Patterns during Decomposition
Poster Number: 338 Presenter/Primary Author: Kyle Wickings Microarthropods play an important role in plant litter decomposition, and variation in the structure of their communities may lead to considerable variation in decomposition dynamics. As a re
Response of rangeland grasshopper communities to cattle and prairie dog grazing
Poster Number: 333 Presenter/Primary Author: Sean Hauser Novel rangeland management strategies seek to benefit ecosystem services and biodiversity in semiarid grasslands by manipulating the distributions and densities of herbivorous ecosystem engineers,
Adélie Penguin Colony Size and Local Population Extinction: A Predation-Induced Tipping Point
Poster Number: 328 Presenter/Primary Author: William Fraser Adélie penguin research in the Palmer LTER (PALTER) region has historically focused on five island rookeries that at the inception of investigations in 1974 held 15,202 breeding pairs. During
Fungal and bacterial pathways along a gradient of climate and productivity
Poster Number: 319 Presenter/Primary Author: Samantha Colby A primary distinction among soil food webs is based on fungal versus bacterial pathways of decomposition; these are expected to differ between meadows and forests.
