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.
Microclimate driven by complex terrain predicts within-season movement by a migrant songbird
Poster Number: 315 Presenter/Primary Author: Sarah Frey Hadley Current predictions about species sensitivity to climate change are primarily based on ‘bioclimatic envelope models.’ These models assume that species either shift their geographic ranges to match
Combining LTER data with other monitoring data to achieve a broader spatial and temporal perspective
Poster Number: 312 Presenter/Primary Author: Andrew Rassweiler The Santa Barbara Coastal LTER has been monitoring ecological communities at 11 shallow sub-tidal reefs in the Santa Barbara Channel for more than a decade. Here we combine these data with tw
The Konza Prairie LTER Program: Grassland Dynamics and Long-Term Trajectories of Change
Poster Number: 308 Presenter/Primary Author: John Blair The Konza Prairie LTER program (KNZ) is a comprehensive ecological research, education and outreach program, centered on one of the most productive grasslands in North America – the tallgrass prair
The Role of Behavior in Influencing Headwater Salamander
Poster Number: 307 Presenter/Primary Author: Kristen Cecala Evolutionary theory predicts that animals have evolved to move in resposne to a suite of cues that maximize animal survival and growth while minimizing risk of injury or mortality.
Long-term Changes in Zooplankton Community Structure along the West Antarctic Peninsula
Poster Number: 298 Presenter/Primary Author: Deborah Steinberg The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth, and where a high apex predator biomass is supported in large part by macrozooplankton.
