Abstract:

The human colonization of Beringia during the Late Glacial (14,500-11,700 years ago) is one of the most remarkable events in human history, as people coming from northeastern Eurasia permanently settled the subarctic for the first time and opened the way for the initial colonization of the New World, coincident with the extinction of mammalian megafauna. This dissertation uses an interdisciplinary methodological and theoretical framework to investigate the trophic ecology of past Beringian hunter-gatherers, their place in predator guilds and in the broader mammal community. Methods of study include faunal and spatial analyses of existing archaeological collections, analyzing the function of the sites as well as their spatial relationship to resources, and documenting new sites in the region through excavations. In support of the archaeological work I conducted isotopic analyses (δ13C and δ15N) of fossil megafauna from contemporaneous paleontological and archaeological sites in order to study habitat partitioning within the herbivore and predator guilds. Results show that resources targeted by early Beringian people were concentrated in high biomass patches and that people exploited these patches through highly specialized, logistical sites. Specifically, the occupation at Swan Point CZ4b is interpreted as a specialized workshop dedicated to the production and maintenance of organic-based tools, providing evidence that Beringian people relied on animals not only for food but also to a large extent for technological purposes. Isotopic data suggest that Beringian people are unlikely to have had profound negative effects on populations of large herbivores through their economic choices. On the other hand, humans do seem to have contributed to the extinction of Beringian large carnivores by competing with and ultimately displacing them at high trophic levels. This dissertation provides new evidence of the impact that the integration of early Beringian people within predator communities had on material culture and economy as well as on larger-scale ecosystem processes.

Abstract:

Investigating maternal investment (Ml) and mother-offspring relationships during the period of infant dependency is critically important to furthering the understanding of female reproductive strategies in primates. Infant primates are completely dependent upon their mothers. The way in which a mother allocates her resources therefore is crucial for infant survival, but is balanced Against her need to invest in subsequent offspring. One approach to examining how mothers might invest in their offspring stems from the Trivers & Willard hypothesis (TWH, 1973), which predicts that mothers in good condition should bias their investment towards sons and whereas mothers in poorer condition should bias investment toward daughters. Long-term demographic records on birth sex ratio and inter-birth interval suggest that female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) do not bias investment prenatally, but they may adjust postnatal Ml according to the TWH. This study investigated Ml and mother-offspring relationships in wild mountain gorillas, using behavioural correlates of Ml, including suckling, weaned age, physical contact, "transport, and grooming to redress the lack of understanding about Ml in this species. The appropriateness of TWH was investigated, integrating different indicators of maternal condition. Important determinants of Ml and mother-offspring relationships were considered, such as offspring age, parity, presence of siblings and maternal relatives, group size and lastly, personality, which has been largely neglected in nonhuman primates. The extent, to which the offspring influenced Ml patterns, was examined using the parent-offspring conflict theory (Trivers, 1972) as a theoretical framework. During 2006-2007, 38 mother-offspring dyads were observed in the Virunga massif, resulting in 1210 hours of direct behavioural observation. Additional field data from the previous four decades were integrated into the dataset for the analysis of suckling and weaned age. Gorilla personality was assessed through the Hominoid Personality Questionnaire. Findings relating to suckling frequency, weaned age, and maternal feeding activities were consistent with the TWH: sons suckled more often than daughters when they had mothers in good condition, whereas the reverse sex-pattern occurred in offspring with mothers in poorer condition. In addition, daughters were weaned at an earlier age than sons when mothers were in better condition, although this sex-difference reduced in older mothers that were categorised as being in good condition. Maternal feeding time and feeding efficiency revealed that mothers in poorer condition spent more time ingesting food when they had daughters, whereas mothers in better .condition spent more time ingesting food when they had sons. Furthermore, group size affected lactation duration with offspring in small groups being weaned earlier than offspring in large groups. Behavioural conflicts over Ml showed that the mother and offspring influenced Ml patterns during the period of dependency. Finally, six personality dimensions were identified, of which five revealed effects maternal behaviour, such as maternal retrieval, responsiveness and rejection, although their relative importance varied between those behaviours. In general, mother and offspring personality effects were complex due to their interactions with the developmental stage of offspring. In conclusion, my thesis research has made several novel contributions to furthering the understanding of female reproductive strategies in the highly endangered mountain gorilla. I presented the first evidence using behavioural data that females bias their postnatal investment towards the sex with the greatest fitness return as predicted by the TWH. My findings are discussed in the light of alternative Ml strategies, such as the local resource competition and enhancement model. My research has highlighted the importance of integrating anthropometric and physiological measures and demographic long-term data into future Ml studies to assess direct costs and benefits of Ml. The examination of mother-offspring behavioural conflicts showed that offspring have a strong impact on the level of Ml they receive. I have also examined the personality of a wild mountain gorilla population for the first time. My findings demonstrate that personality-parenting links are evident in several respects and I have demonstrated the great potential of personality as a determinant of maternal behaviour and mother-offspring relationships.

Abstract:

The concept of biodiversity – the phenotypic and genotypic variation among organisms – is central to conservation biology. There is growing recognition that biodiversity does not exist in isolation, but rather is intrinsically and evolutionarily linked to cultural diversity and indigenous knowledge systems. In Canada, caribou (Rangifer tarandus) occupy a central place in the livelihoods and identities of indigenous people and display substantial variation across their distribution. However, quantifying caribou intraspecific variation has proven challenging. Interdisciplinary approaches are necessary to produce effective species characterizations and conservation strategies that acknowledge the interdependent relationships between people and nature in complex social-ecological systems. In this dissertation I use multiple disciplinary traditions to develop comprehensive and united representations of caribou variation through an exploration of population genetics, phylogenetics, traditional knowledge, language, and visual approaches in the Sahtú region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. First, I examine caribou variation through analysis of population genetics and the relationships Dene and Métis people establish with animals within bioculturally diverse systems. Next, I focus on how the Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles have shaped the current patterns of caribou phylogeographic lineage diversification. Finally, I explore how art can be used to facilitate cross-cultural collaboration and externalize the unique heterogeneity of biocultural diversity. The results demonstrate a broad scale understanding of the distribution, spatial organization, and the degree of differentiation of caribou populations in the region. I found evidence for caribou population differentiation that corresponds to the caribou types recognized by Dene people: tǫdzı “boreal woodland caribou,” ɂekwę́ “barren-ground caribou,” and shúhta ɂepę́ “mountain caribou.” Phylogenetic results reveal that in their northern margin the boreal ecotype of woodland caribou evolved independently from the northern Beringian lineage in contrast with southern boreal caribou which belong to the sub-Laurentide refugia lineage. In addition, I demonstrate how art can be used improve communication, participation, and knowledge production among interdisciplinary research collaborations and across language and knowledge systems. A collaborative process of research that facilitates łeghágots'enetę “learning together” has the potential to produce sustainable conservation solutions, develop efficient and effective wildlife management policies, and ensure caribou remain an important part of the landscape.

Full text

Abstract:

Play is sometimes considered frivolous and non-functional. Yet social play provides important ontogenetic opportunities for animals to socialize and regulate their behavior in a relaxed setting. Mountain gorillas are shown to self-handicap play behavior in specific contexts. Self-handicapping through movement restriction and to a lesser extent positional vulnerability are mediated by individual size and play pair type (i.e. dyads matched or mismatched in size). Within pairs of mismatched sizes, play behavior significantly differed between small and large subjects. Dyads of matched small players show greater degrees of movement restriction and positional vulnerability compared to mismatched dyads. Large partners highly restrict movement with small partners but do not do so with similarly sized partners. The interactive effect between individual size and pair type greatly impact the degree of self-handicapping in mountain gorillas. Benefits related to emotional regulation through play are discussed.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia Geológica (Geotecnia)
A presente dissertação pretende contribuir para a caracterização geotécnica dos gabros, rochas intrusivas máficas, cujo conhecimento a nível internacional ainda é escasso, pois trata-se de uma litologia abundante na crusta oceânica, mas que é pouco vulgar encontrar sob a forma de afloramentos. Em Portugal, este tipo de rochas encontra-se no Complexo Subvulcânico de Sines e, em maior extensão, na Sequência Gabróica Bandada do Complexo Ígneo de Beja; contudo e até ao presente, só foram estudados do ponto de vista geotécnico as rochas respeitantes ao Complexo de Sines. Neste contexto, avaliaram-se as principais propriedades geotécnicas de um conjunto de provetes (mais de uma centena), obtidos a partir de uma campanha de amostragem realizada na faixa Beringel – Beja, e que foram ulteriormente submetidos a ensaios de laboratório. O trabalho inicia-se por uma caracterização das propriedades geotécnicas das rochas intactas avaliadas nesta investigação, passando pela caracterização genérica das rochas gabróicas e, ainda, pelo enquadramento geológico da formação amostrada, que integra o Complexo Ígneo de Beja. Apresenta-se, em seguida, a metodologia adotada para os ensaios de laboratório e discutem-se os resultados obtidos, incluindo correlações entre algumas daquelas propriedades. Finalmente, sintetizam-se as principais conclusões obtidas e tecem-se considerações sobre a validade dos resultados.

Abstract:

A 1/12th-degree, pan-Arctic ice-ocean numerical model is used to better understand the circulation and exchanges in the Bering Sea. Understanding the physical oceanography of the Bering Sea is significant for the U.S. Navy due to the expected increase in ship traffic and exploration of natural resources that will likely coincide with the ongoing retreat of sea ice in the Western Arctic. This model represents a large step forward in the ability to simulate the mesoscale eddies and meanders in the Alaskan Stream and the deep Bering Sea basin, which are shown to exert a strong control on the flow into and out of the western Aleutian Island passes. Model results show that upwelling of deep Bering Sea water, which is the primary source of nutrients for important ecosystems of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas, is enhanced by the presence of cyclonic eddies in the vicinity of canyons along the slope. High values of eddy kinetic energy in Bering and Anadyr straits help explain the areas of high biological productivity located just downstream in the Chirikov Basin and north of Bering Strait. Model results show significant horizontal and vertical shear in the flow through Bering Strait, and indicate a need for more observations of the flow structure on a continuous basis.

Abstract:

This study primarily focuses on sea ice variability in the Bering Sea, and its thermodynamic and dynamic controls.

First, the seasonal cycle of sea ice variability in the Bering Sea is studied using a global fine-resolution (1/10-degree) fully-coupled ocean and sea ice model forced with reanalysis atmospheric forcing for 1980-1989. The ocean/sea-ice model consists of the Los Alamos National Laboratory Parallel Ocean Program (POP) and the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE). The modeled seasonal mean sea ice concentration strongly resembles satellite-derived observations. During winter, which dominates the annual mean, model sea ice is mainly formed in the northern Bering Sea, with the maximum ice growth rate occurring along the coast, due to cold air from northerly winds and ice motion away from the coast. South of St. Lawrence Island, winds drive sea ice to drift southwestward from the north to the southwestern ice covered region. Along the ice edge in the western Bering, ice is melted by warm ocean water, which is carried by the Bering Slope Current flowing to the northwest, resulting in the S-shaped asymmetric pattern seen in the ice edge.

Second, the year-to-year variability of sea ice in the Bering Sea for 1980-1989 is addressed. While thermodynamic processes dominate the variations in ice volume change in the Bering Sea on the large scale, dynamic processes are important locally near ice margins (both oceanic and land), where local dynamic and thermodynamic ice volume changes have opposite signs with large and similar amplitudes. The thermodynamic ice volume change is dominated by ice-air surface heat flux, which in turn is dominated by sensible heat flux, except near the southern ice edge where it is largely controlled by ocean-ice heat flux. This indicates that surface air temperature, which is specified from observations, strongly controls the ice volume tendency. Ice motion is generally consistent with winds driving the flow, except near certain straits in the north where ice motion largely follows ocean currents.

This study also addresses Greenland supraglacial lakes on top of ice and ice-dammed lakes adjacent to glaciers. Those surface lakes have been observed to fill and drain periodically, affecting the ice motion over land. This study provides observational constraints on the volume of water contained in and drained from the lakes, based on the repeat laser altimetry.

Abstract:

The taxonomy of benthic foraminifera recovered from 160 core samples over depth 20.59 m and representing the past ~597 Kyr (sedimentary deposit of the Tarantian and Ionian stages) at Bowers Ridge, Bering Sea IODP site U1342, includes some 52 species from 41 genera and 22 families: these species are given formal taxonomic treatment with detailed illustration. A further 16 species are discussed in open nomenclature. Foraminifer assemblages are dominated by species of Takayanagia delicata, Uvigerina bifurcata, Islandiella norcrossi and Alabaminella weddellensis accounting for more than 58 % of all specimens recovered. In addition to their taxonomic identification, this study interrogates the relationship between benthic foraminifera and interpreted changes in oxygen concentration and productivity during a series of late Quaternary glacial– interglacial cycles at site U1342. In particular, the species Bolivina spissa (Cushman) – thought to record changes in seabed oxygen level, shows no correlation between test pore density and interpreted bottom water oxygen level (BW-O2), suggesting that oxygen is not the sole driver influencing the distribution and morphology of this species. Further assessment of the total foraminiferal assemblages at site U1342 - using the sedimentological context and the proportion of deep infaunal species as a proxy for low oxygen conditions at the seabed, and shallow infaunal species as a proxy for a welloxygenated seabed, identify eight broadly defined temporally successive benthic foraminiferal intervals through the sampled core. Three of these intervals, between depths 0 - ~5.40, ~ 6.50 - 9.00 and ~16.90 - 18.67 m-CCSF, signal a well-oxygenated sea bed, whilst the other five intervals suggest increased phytodetritus flux to the seabed, coupled with variations in seabed oxygen level. In general, there is no clear connexion between these intervals and the glacial-interglacial oscillation at the site during the past ~597 ka, suggesting that ecological influences on foraminiferal distribution at Bowers are complex.

Abstract:

Bering Sea pollock fishing is characterized by high levels of physical risk, uncertainties in wages and schedule, close and extensive interdependence on other workers, and long absences from home. This occupation leads to a way of life which is full of extremes and has unusually strong effects on the family. This study examines the effects of the occupation on the quality of family life and working life through a teamwork perspective. It is a study of the slow breakdown in cooperation among families and the enhancement of cooperation in the work setting. The breakdown in family cooperation reduces the family’s ability to respond to its members’ needs for love, inclusion, and intimacy, and has important consequences for the quality of family life. The enhancement of cooperation in the work setting contributes to the creation of important social benefits such as trust, agreement, and a sense of inclusion. These social outcomes, and improved task performance, positively influence the quality of working life. Major themes include anthropology at home and among peers, family adaptations to occupational influences, the role of story-telling in building cooperation and commitment in teams, generosity and relaxed social accounting strategies in adult socialization, and the importance of extremes in evaluating the quality of working life.

In this thesis, I present high-resolution stable-isotope and planktonic-fauna records from Bering Sea sediment cores, spanning the time period from 50,000 years ago to the present. During Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3) at 30-20 ky BP (kiloyears before present) in a core from 1467m water depth near Umnak Plateau, there were episodic occurrences of diagenetic carbonate minerals with very low 13C (-22.4%), high 18O (6.5%), and high [Mg]/[Ca], which seem associated with sulfate reduction of organic matter and possibly anaerobic oxidation of methane. The episodes lasted less than 1000 years and were spaced about 1000 years apart. During MIS3 at 55-20 ky BP in a core from 2209m water depth on Bowers Ridge, N. pachyderma (s.) and Uvigerina 18O and 13C show no coherent variability on millennial time scales. Bering Sea sediments are dysoxic or laminated during the deglaciation. A high sedimentationrate core (200 cm/ky) from 1132m on the Bering Slope is laminated during the Blling warm phase, Allerd warm phase, and early Holocene, where the ages of lithological transitions agree with the ages of those climate events in Greenland (GISP2) to well within the uncertainty of the age models. The subsurface distribution of radiocarbon was estimated from a compilation of published and unpublished North Pacic benthic-planktonic 14C measurements (475{2700 m water depth). There was no consistent change in 14C probles between the present and the Last Glacial Maximum, Blling-Allerd, or the Younger Dryas cold phase. N. pachyderma (s.) 18O in the Bering Slope core decreases rapidly (in less than 220 y) by 0.7-0.8h at the onset of the Blling and the end of the Younger Dryas. These isotopic shifts are accompanied by transient decreases in the relative abundance of N. pachyderma (s.), suggesting that the isotopic events are transient warnings and sustained freshenings.

Abstract:

The effectiveness of a state's natural resource management is rendered meaningless if the particular resource migrates into another state's jurisdiction. In the case of marine mammals, inadequate management of the species anywhere along their annual migration could make food insecure for the regional human populations. My research evaluates to what extent International Environmental Agreements have been able to manage transboundary challenges to food security. Two case studies, the Polar Bear Agreement (2000) and the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (1946), are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using Ronald Mitchell's four factors for describing variation of International Environmental Agreements' effectiveness: incentives, capacities, information, and norms. To ensure food security in the Bering Strait, this thesis stresses the importance of local concerns, norms and stakeholders. Transboundary management includes stakeholders at various scales to address a local challenge that is intersected by an international political boundary. The higher values of the Bowhead whale International Environmental Agreement's four factors, in the quantitative analysis, account for the higher level of food security for Bowhead whale. The qualitative analysis makes three recommendations for future International Environmental Agreements, in this case the draft U.S.-Russia agreement on Pacific walrus: 1) conservation of the Pacific walrus, 2) maintenance of Native self-determination and, 3) encouragement the flow of information between the local and federal stakeholders and between the United States and Russia. In order to ensure future food security in the Bering Strait Region, the management of the Pacific walrus depends on an effective International Environmental Agreement.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Doutor em Engenharia Geológica
O principal objetivo do presente estudo é contribuir para o conhecimento das propriedades geotécnicas das unidades que integram o perfil de meteorização dos gabros do Complexo Ígneo de Beja, na região compreendida entre Beringel e Beja. Este conhecimento dos terrenos, rochas e solos, irá contribuir para uma adequada planificação do projeto de engenharia e da construção, e apoiar o planeamento urbano, minimizando assim os riscos geológicos associados. Esta tese inclui uma introdução ao estado do conhecimento geológico e geotécnico dos gabros, no mundo e em Portugal, o enquadramento da área em análise e a metodologia adotada no sentido de se atingirem os resultados pretendidos. Os trabalhos realizados, em campo e em laboratório, formam a base da caracterização dos gabros e seus solos residuais, contribuindo para a obtenção dos parâmetros definidores destas unidades. A compilação dos dados obtidos permite individualizar três unidades geotécnicas no perfil de meteorização dos gabros, que nem sempre existem em continuidade: a zona mais profunda, ZG1, corresponde aos gabros, sãos ou pouco meteorizados; um trecho intermédio, ZG2, integra os solos residuais menos evoluídos, diretamente assentes na rocha mãe; e a camada mais superficial, ZG3, correspondente aos solos residuais coesivos designados de “Barros de Beja”. A Tese inclui ainda uma síntese da gama de valores para as principais propriedades geotécnicas, físicas e mecânicas, avaliadas para aquelas unidades.

Abstract:

This study compares social behavior of infants of resident mothers and infants of immigrant mothers in social groups of the mountain gorilla, Gorilla gorilla beringei. Infants of immigrant mothers spent more time in proximity to their mothers during group resting. They spent more time in solo play and less time in social play during group feeding. Their opportunity for social interaction with peers may be restricted mostly to group rest periods and their social play levels during this time are higher than infants with resident mothers. However, during both group resting and feeding they spent less time near other infants and they initiated fewer dyadic play bouts.

Abstract:

Eskimo peoples residing along the Bering Strait region of western Alaska and Soviet Chukotka were forcibly separated by the closing of the US-USSR border in 1948. As a result, all communications between these peoples ceased for a period of 40 years. Eskimos on each side were divided into separate streams of Soviet and American jurisdiction, and with the further development of both regions following the second world War, these people became the recipients of new broadcast services. These services, conceptualized and developed from completely differing philosophies concerning the nature, function, and operation of the press, brought Eskimos into the information and societal orbit of the respective nations, though with little opportunity to control the systems implemented on their behalf.
Broadcasting in Chukotka developed in blue print fashion according to central planning directives of the Communist Party, based on an authoritarian, Marxist/Leninist-based model which held a complete monopoly on the means of mass information, in effect, stifling the free exchange of ideas in its attempt to convince Eskimos to accomplish objectives formulated by the Party. Broadcasting in Alaska developed in an opposite fashion, from a combination of state-supported and private initiative based on libertarian/social responsibility models of the press. Alaskan broadcasting was formulated more from the perspective of providing information and entertainment, while radio in Chukotka was more serious in nature, concentrating primarily on political and socio-economic issues facing the region and nation.
As the Cold War between the US and USSR intensified from the 1950s through the early 1980s, communication across the Bering Strait was forceably restricted, yet Eskimos could receive radio services from the other side. While Alaskan stations sought accurate information about the conditions of Eskimos in the USSR, Soviet broadcasting sought to issue a slanted, propagandistic account of the lives of Alaskan Eskimos, despite their lack of accurate reporting resources, in order to convince Soviet Eskimos of the superiority of their lives in contrast to the Alaskans.
This investigation will provide an overview of the development of broadcast media in both regions, as well as a comparative analysis on the role and operation of broadcasting along the Bering Strait, and the participation by Eskimos with such media.
With the development of Soviet glasnost and perestroika in 1985, new opportunities arose for the reunification of the Eskimo people, and broadcasting from both sides played a role in the overall decision-making process between the Soviet and American governments to reopen the border. This study provides a historical synopsis of the border closing and reopening, and the role of broadcast media in these events. Further, developments in the changing nature of mass communications and the reorganization of broadcast media in the Russian Republic will be explored.
The study concludes with an assessment on the possibilities for Eskimo control of broadcasting in the overall effort to strengthen the process of societal reintegration and national development of these people living along the Bering Strait.

Abstract:

The purpose of this project to was to 1) develop, 2) instruct, 3) evaluate, and 4) revise a 5^th-12^th grade fisheries conservation engineering outreach program entitled Smart Fishing and the Bering Sea (SFBS).

Fishery resources are important to Alaska and Alaskans, but present complex conservation challenges including user conflicts and concerns about unsustainable fishing practices. Increasing Alaska residents' environmental literacy will enhance natural resource management decisions regarding fisheries. The intent of the SFBS program is to introduce students to ecological and economical factors that drive conservation engineering in the Bering Sea pollock fishery. I instructed the SFBS program to 93 students from four different public and private institutions in Anchorage, Alaska. My observations and participants' pre- and post-program concept maps were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the SFBS curriculum. Participants gained content knowledge from this fishery outreach program about the Bering Sea and commercial fishing. Program evaluation analysis and results were used to revise the curriculum and make suggestions to SFBS stakeholders.

Abstract:

Most models of the impacts of climate change on the distributions of animals have focused on limits to thermal tolerances of individual species. Such "bioclimatic envelope" models do not consider the importance of interactions among species, each of which may respond to climate change in its own way. Hermit crabs (Paguridae) cannot exist without shells produced by gastropods. Thus, their ranges are expected to depend not only on their own physiological tolerances, but also on tolerances of gastropod species that produce shells of suitable sizes for growing crabs that use successively larger shells. To assess their potential importance to range shifts of hermit crabs, I characterized these commensal relationships over a large area of the northern Bering Sea in May to early June. Of 1539 hermit crabs collected, Pagurus rathbuni comprised 55%, P. trigonocheirus 44%, and Labidochirus splendescens 1%, with only four individuals of three other Pagurus species. Species richness for all living gastropods in my study area was 26 species, of which 18 were used by hermit crabs. P. rathbuni used shells of mostly moon snails (Naticidae); only 7 to 19% used whelk shells (Buccinidae) in the first four size classes, and 34% in the largest size class. P. trigonocheirus also used shells of mainly moon snails, but its use of whelk shells ranged from 18 to 44% in the first four size classes, and 70% in the largest size class. Densities of P. rathbuni and P. trigonocheirus varied independently of each other (r2 = 0.08, p = 0.09, N = 36 stations). Other studies suggest that hermit crabs obtain most of their shells from gastropods that have recently died, and that such empty shells are available for a relatively short period before being buried in sediments; thus, available shells should resemble the local pool among living gastropods. Correlation of P. rathbuni densities with densities of living gastropods with suitable shells was weak (r2 = 0.18, p < 0.01, N = 36 stations), while there was no correlation for P. trigonocheirus (r2 < 0.01, p = 0.59). Density patterns of hermit crabs within the five size classes did not correspond to those of living gastropods with suitable shells (randomization tests of independence, all p < 0.002). These results suggest that in the northern Bering Sea, initial effects of climate change on hermit crab distributions will depend more strongly on factors other than concurrent effects on dispersion of gastropods.

Full text

Abstract:

Eskers are ridges of stratified glaciofluvial material deposited in englacial, subglacial or supraglacial channels and ice-walled canyons. Eskers have been used to infer the dynamics and palaeo-hydrology of large ice sheets, despite observations of palaeo-esker sedimentary architecture lacking rigorous constraints on depositional timescale. This research aims to identify the hydrological, glaciological and sedimentary controls on the sedimentary architecture of single event outburst flood (jokulhlaup) eskers at SkeiOarârjOkull and Bering Glacier. These eskers formed during monitored outbursts, providing time constraints on the depositional events, thereby making the eskers ideal analogues for palaeo-eskers. GPR data was collected using a pulseEKKO Pro 1100 system at SkeiOarârjOkull and Bering Glacier during field seasons in 2006 and 2007. At SkeiOarãrjOkull grids of 100 MHz GPR lines were collected on the glacier surface and 200 MHz GPR grids were collected on all workable sections of an esker and ice-walled canyon fill generated by a jokulhlaup in November 1996. At Bering Glacier 200 MHz GPR grids were collected on workable sections of an ice-walled canyon fill and esker generated during outbursts in July-August and October 1994, respectively. Examination of the GPR data has allowed development of site-specific models for esker and ice-walled canyon fill deposition, providing the first detailed insight into the sedimentary architecture of single event jokulhlaup eskers. These models show that single high-magnitude jOkulhlaups can generate eskers with complexities previously unexpected for single events. The englacial position of an esker is controlled by the presence of structural weaknesses within the ice and the jokulhlaup release mechanism. Esker sedimentary architecture, on the other hand, is controlled by a complex interaction between hydrological, glaciological and sedimentary factors. The most fundamental control on jokulhlaup esker sedimentary architecture is conduit geometry, which determines the type of macroform from which the esker is composed. Thus, eskers deposited during jOkulhlaups should be made up of both wide ridges as composite macroforms in areas of conduit expansion and narrow ridges composed of upper-stage plane beds in constricted conduits. The smaller scale sedimentary features, which include antidunes and boulder clusters, as well as the frequency of erosional structures, are controlled by interactions between the flow conditions and sediment supply. The eskers generated during the 1996 SkeiOarãrhlaup and 1994 Bering Glacier outburst flood demonstrate sedimentary architectures that are similar to those identified in many palaeo-eskers described from previous studies. The research suggests that jOkulhlaups may have had a greater role in palaeo-esker sedimentary architecture than previously hypothesised.

Full text

Abstract:

The Steller sea lion (SSL) population in Alaska was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1991. Several procedural restrictions were placed on the commercial fisheries of the region at that time in an effort to reduce the potential for human induced mortality on sea lions. Several years have elapsed since these restrictions were put into place and questions about their efficacy abound. In an effort to determine whether or not fisheries interventions have helped the SSL population to recover, estimates of the fishing activity of the Bering Sea/ Gulf of Alaska commercial fisheries in the vicinity of individual Steller sea lion rookeries and SSL population trends at those rookeries were made using data from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Fisheries Observer Program and Steller Sea Lion Adult Count Database. Fisheries data from 1976 - 2000 were analyzed in relation to SSL population counts from 1956 - 2001, at 32 rookeries from the endangered Western Stock. Linear regression on the principal components of the fisheries data show that a positive correlation exists between several metrics of historical fishing activity and SSL population decline. The relationship is less consistent after 1991, supporting a hypothesis that fishing closures around some of the rookeries have been effective in moderating the localized effects of fishing activity on SSL.

A cultura da berinjela vem se destacando muito, principalmente na Europa, Estados Unidos e também no Brasil, com aumento da demanda por hortaliças. Dentre os fertilizantes potássios mais utilizados no Brasil, o cloreto de potássio, é responsável por 95% do consumo. Entre os fatores que afetam a resposta à adubação potássica, destacam-se salinidade e acidez do solo. O experimento foi divido em duas fases, sendo a primeira desenvolvida no Departamento de Produção Vegetal – Horticultura – UNESP, Campus de Botucatu, São Paulo. A segunda fase, compreendendo as análises bioquímicas, foram conduzidas no Departamento de Química e Bioquímica do Instituto de Biociências - UNESP, Campus de Botucatu, São Paulo. Utilizou-se a variedade de berinjela denominada de Embu, adotando-se delineamento em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2 x 4, com cinco repetições, com duas fontes de potássio (cloreto e sulfato de potássio) e quatro doses crescentes dos fertilizantes (250, 500, 750 e 1000 kg K2O ha-1) Observou-se que as plantas cultivadas com doses elevadas de ambas as fontes potássicas, induziram maior atividade das enzimas superoxido dismutase e catalase, além do aumento da concentração de L-prolina. Estas alterações indicam que estes parâmetros podem ser adotados como indicadores de estresse mineral na cultura da berinjela. Além dos fatores bioquímicos, observou-se que as variações das fontes potássicas influenciaram nos parâmetros biométricos e agronômicos da berinjela, notadamente quando aplicados em excesso. Avaliando-se os resultados do experimento, concluiu-se que a fonte KCl apresentou efeito salino superior, quando comparado com a fonte K2SO4 baseado no efeito mais pronunciado deste adubo, os parâmetros avaliados. Para ambas as fontes potássicas aplicadas, observou-se que o excesso de potássio afetou os parâmetros biométricos, produção e atividade enzimática das plantas.
Eggplant cultivation has extensively developed, mainly in Europe, United States and Brazil due to the increase in the demand for vegetables. Of the potassium fertilizers most frequently used in Brazil, potassium chloride satisfies 95% of the needs. Among the factors affecting the response to potassium fertilization are soil salinity and acidity. This experiment was divided into two steps: the first was conducted in the facilities of the Department of Plant Production, Horticulture, São Paulo State University – UNESP, Botucatu Campus, São Paulo State, Brazil. The second step which consisted of biochemical analyses was carried out in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Institute of Biosciences, UNESP, Botucatu Campus. The eggplant variety Embu was used, and the experimental design was in randomized blocks, 2 x 4 factorial arrangement, with five replicates, including 2 potassium sources (potassium chloride and sulfate) and four increasing doses of the fertilizers (250, 500, 750, and 1000 kg K2O ha-1). Elevated doses of both potassium sources led to higher activity of the enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase in plants, as well as to an increasing L-proline concentration. Based on such alterations, those parameters can be used as indicators of mineral stress in eggplant culture. Besides biochemical factors, biometric and agronomical parameters were also influenced by variations in the potassium sources, mainly when applied in excess. The present experiment demonstrated that KCl source had higher saline effect, compared with K2SO4 source, considering the higher effect of the former on the evaluated parameters. As regards both potassium sources, the excess of potassium affected biometric parameters, yield and enzymatic activity.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
The northern Pacific Ocean is a highly dynamic region characterized by strong decadal signals, as evident in climate regime shifts. A regime shift marks when the climate exhibits an abrupt modification from one physical environment to another. The mesoscale variability seen in regime shifts is poorly represented in earth system models. To best understand the changes in the Arctic Ocean, we must analyze the Pacific Oceans influence on the Arctic through regional models. This study synthesizes multi-decadal results in the Pacific Ocean from the regional Arctic system model (RASM); a high-resolution, pan-Arctic, coupled model forced with atmospheric data from the Common Ocean Reference Experiment, version 2 (CORE2), 19482009 reanalysis to identify climate regime shifts. Analyzed results are validated with observational data and compared to output from the, community climate system model, version 4 (CCSM4). RASM demonstrated skill in identifying climate regime shifts. RASM-based correlations with the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) can explain 4060 percent of the total variability in the northern North Pacific and Bering Sea region. Limited comparisons of RASM to CCSM4 suggest there is added value in regional climate simulations and better understanding of climate regime shifts.
