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.
Using physiological samples to measure stress in American pikas
Poster Number: 34 Presenter/Primary Author: Jennifer Wilkening The American pika (Ochotona princeps) is considered a sentinel species for detecting ecological effects of climate change, but previous studies have focused on local pika extinction as a m
Long-term nitrogen enrichment affects the structure of soil fungal communities
Poster Number: 27 Presenter/Primary Author: Eric Morrison Nitrogen (N) deposition from fossil fuel burning has the potential to affect ecosystem processes such as the decomposition and storage of soil organic matter.
Interactive Visual Analytics Promotes Pattern Discovery in 50-year Record of Cone Production in Upper-slope Conifers of the Pacific Northwest
Poster Number: 26 Presenter/Primary Author: Tuan Pham Although cyclical cone production is a salient feature of many conifer life histories, relatively little is known about the temporal patterns of cone production in high-elevation conifer forests an
Influence of resource gradients on soil microbial communities of a polar desert
Poster Number: 21 Presenter/Primary Author: Kevin Geyer Microbial communities are major contributors to globally-significant ecosystem processes, yet our understanding of controls over bacterial community assembly and structure remains limited.
Drivers of Grassland Invertebrate Community Structure: Effects of Soil Nutrient Availability and Vertebrate Herbivores on Invertebrate Resource Limitation
Poster Number: 17 Presenter/Primary Author: Kimberly La Pierre The effects of nutrient availability and vertebrate herbivory on the plant community likely transfer to higher trophic levels.
