Abstract:
This dissertation presents a four year field study on the movement patterns, community dynamics, and management of granivorous wintering grassland sparrows in Arizona. Chapter one focuses on within winter, local scale movement patterns. Recapture statistics and radiotelemetry both showed strong interspecific differences in movement, consistent with the idea that these species may partition niche space according to the regional coexistence mechanism. Both techniques ranked species from most to least sedentary as follows: Cassin's and Grasshopper sparrows, Baird's, Vesper, and Savannah and Brewer's sparrows. Data also indicated that fixed home range movements, and within-species constancy of movement behavior across years and study sites are generally the rule in this group. Correlations between bird abundance and summer rainfall suggest that movement may constrain large scale habitat selection processes. Chapter two presents larger scale movement data from grassland sparrows, along with a general discussion of facultative migration in birds. High between-year abundance fluctuations and low and variable rates of between-year recapture suggest that facultative migration strategies may be the rule in grassland sparrows. The use of alternative wintering sites by individual Grasshopper Sparrows provides direct evidence of limited facultative migration behavior. These patterns contrast with the largely non-facultative migration strategies that are the rule in birds. The evolution of facultative migration strategies is linked with unpredictable temporal variation in the spatial distribution of habitat conditions in the landscape. Chapter three presents three years of data on the effects of spring/summer burning and cattle grazing on wintering grassland sparrows. Vesper and Savannah sparrows responded positively to fire, while Cassin's Sparrows responded negatively. The ecologically and geographically restricted Baird's and Grasshopper sparrows utilized burned areas during the first post-bum winter and did not significantly respond to fire. Both Ammodramus sparrows also utilized the grazed pasture; they were more abundant there than in the ungrazed study area in one year. While field observations and a prior study suggest that heavy grazing can have a strong detrimental effect on Ammodramus sparrows, the results of this study suggest that moderate cattle grazing may be compatible with the conservation of these species.

Abstract:
The Tachinidae is a taxonomically and ecologically diverse clade of parasitoids for which evolutionary and ecological relationships with hosts are largely unknown. Here, I employed a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the determinants of patterns of host use in the Tachinidae. First, I examined spatio-temporal variation in the tachinid-dominated parasitoid assemblage of one lepidopteran species Grammia geneura . The parasitoid assemblage and parasitism rates varied dramatically among and within sampling sites, seasons, and years. I show that this variability may be a function of habitat-specific parasitism and indirect interactions between this host and other Macrolepidoptera through shared tachinid parasitoids. I then experimentally examined the host selection process in the tachinid Exorista mella. Host movement was an important elicitor of attack behavior. Flies also responded to odors associated with food plants of their host. Experienced flies attacked hosts more readily than did inexperienced flies. Based on these results, I proposed a host selection scenario for this tachinid species. E. mella also teamed to associate colors with hosts and avoided deterrent models that they had experienced. However, I failed to find evidence for odor learning. Learning of host-associated cues by E. mella may allow this parasitoid to take advantage of abundant host populations and maintain host-searching efficiency in an unpredictable environment. To examine how host-associated characteristics evolved in the Tachinidae, I reconstructed the evolutionary relationships within the subfamily Exoristinae using molecular data. Phylogenetic analyses generally supported recent classifications. Analyses of host-related characters indicated that tachinids show great evolutionary lability in behavior, morphology, and host range. Finally, I sampled host species to assess the determinants of tachinid community structure and host range. Several host characteristics were found to affect tachinid species richness. These patterns may be due to the opportunistic use of abundant hosts by polyphagous tachinids, enemy-free space provided by well-defended hosts, and the process of host location. Patterns of tachinid host use varied significantly with sample size, host diet breadth, host gregariousness, plant form, and host morphology. Taken together, these studies indicate high levels of plasticity in tachinid-host associations. This may be responsible for their ecological and evolutionary success.

Abstract:
Spawning flannelmouth sucker, Catostomus latipinnis, in the Paria River averaged 478 mm (n = 246) total length (TL). This was 53 mm longer (p < 0.001) than the mean length of spawning fish taken from this same location in 1981 (425 mm, TL, n = 286). Sub adult flannelmouth were common in the Paria in 1981 but no post-larval fish < 379 mm, TL were caught in 1992 or 1993. There is no evidence that juvenile flannelmouth have reared in the Paria River/Glen Canyon Area in the last 12 years. However, some adult fish appear to enter the population from downstream locations. In 1992 and 1993, spawning occurred throughout the lower 10 kilometers of the Paria. Young-of-year were seen in 1992 but could not be found shortly after hatching. No young-of-year were seen in 1993. Growth of adult sized fish is very slow. Based on extrapolations from recaptures, longevity may approach 30 years. Recaptures from fish marked in other studies were originally tagged as far as 229 km downstream from the mouth of the Paria.

Abstract:
Boiga irregularis has caused the extinction of several native vertebrate species on the island of Guam. Information on movement is critical to the management of the species. B. irregularis is active at night and spends daylight hours in secluded refuges (from 10 m up in the forest canopy to 1 m underground). There appears to be no preferences for any particular refuge type. Nighttime movement (distance) was related to distances between daytime refugia. The average net movement ranged from 26.9-97.7 m/day (N = 11). The maximum distance moved from the first daytime location following release to subsequent locations ranged from 142.8-1809.4 m. The activity area (minimum convex polygon) ranged from 1.9-99 ha; the cumulative activity area periodically increased and did not reach an asymptote. Direction of snake movements were random. The data suggest that Boiga lacks a defined activity area, and moves randomly and continuously searching for resources.

Abstract:
After 6-10 years of mark-recapture observations, I studied seven desert tortoises by radio-telemetry during 1990-1992 in a desert-grassland community in Pinal County, Arizona. Six estimated home-range areas averaged 14.7 ha. Winter-spring (Nov-Jun) use areas (overline x=0.7 ha) were significantly smaller (P = 0.002) than summer-fall (Jul-Oct) use areas (overline x=10.7 ha). A correction formula inflated 1-2 summer-fall use areas of five tortoises 4-41% larger than their corrected home-range areas. Extended movements by females were significantly more frequent (P = 0.0001) than those of males during Mar-Jul, significantly less frequent (P = 0.0057) than males during Aug-Oct, and most frequent by both sexes in September. Use of two slopes and terraces was not season-dependent (P = 0.9159). Tortoises variably used four shelter types (rock, soil burrow, wood rat nest, vegetation), significantly with south-facing entrance aspects (P 0.0005). Hibernaculum structure and location varied. Hibernation ranged from 88-315 days. Radio-equipped tortoises included reuse of mark-recapture locations.

Full text
Abstract:
Social spiders most likely evolved from subsocial-like ancestors, species in which siblings remain together for part of their life cycle but disperse prior to mating. Understanding the ecological conditions that favor small colony sizes and periodic dispersal in subsocial species vs. large multigenerational colonies in the social species may provide insight into this evolutionary transition. The biogeography of these spiders and the ability of prey supplementation to delay dispersal in subsocial species implicate prey abundance as an important ecological factor influencing this process. I propose a conceptual framework in which environmental prey abundance determines the rate at which prey contact webs per unit web area, colony size determines web area and prey capture success, and per capita prey capture affects when spiders disperse. To further understand how prey abundance may have influenced the evolution of sociality, I have empirically explored aspects of this framework. Within the genus Anelosimyyus, I studied two social species inhabiting an Ecuadorian lowland rain forest, a subsocial species along the edge of an Ecuadorian cloud forest, and another subsocial species occupying a temperate riparian area of Arizona. In a comparative study examining relationships among sociality, prey availability, and prey capture rate across these species, the environments of social species tended to have relatively large prey and high overall prey biomass, but not the highest numbers of prey items. Relationships among colony size, web size, and prey capture within three of these populations revealed significant foraging-related costs of increasing colony size that could be offset by the availability of high prey biomass in the form of large prey items. Finally, I conducted an experiment manipulating prey capture rate in a subsocial species that resulted in higher prey levels delaying dispersal within and among colonies. This effect often led to a single, relatively large individual remaining in nests of colonies that had been provided more prey. Overall, these findings indicate that, while the availability of high prey biomass may have allowed sociality to evolve, the concentration of prey biomass into large, but not necessarily more prey may have selected for the larger, longer-lived colonies characteristic of social species.

Full text
Abstract:
Cooperative breeding (CB) is found in a wide diversity of avian lineages and can be explained at several levels of analysis. After a brief introduction to the theory explaining CB, I take an historical approach to examine CB evolution in the bee-eaters (Family Meropidae). Parsimony analyses of plumage color and shape characters yielded a number of phylogenetic hypotheses. The best supported phylogenies are six fully resolved trees from three analyses and a strict consensus tree from another analysis. These trees are used to examine the possible patterns of evolution in CB and how transition correspond to transitions in other ecological and behavioral traits. Bee-eaters were also studied in Thailand. Little green bee-eaters, Merops orientalis, breed cooperatively and predation pressure may be high in this species. Blue-tailed bee-eaters, M. philippinus, breed cooperatively in dense colonies and show signs of potential extra-pair copulation and intraspecific brood parasitism. Observations of the bay-headed bee-eater, M. leschenaulti, and the blue-bearded bee-eater, Nyctyornis athertoni, document CB in the former and support non-CB designation for the latter. Cooperative breeding is either primitive in bee-eaters or evolved early in the family. Reversals to non-CB occurred in one to three lineages. Transitions in breeding systems are not generally correlated with the transitions in nesting requirements, habitat utilization, migratory behavior, or diet. Evidence suggests correlated evolution between CB and both foraging mode (weak evidence) and social systems (stronger support). This study does not support any single hypothesis for the adaptive basis of CB across the family. Social system evolutionary patterns do suggest the importance of kin selection in several lineages. Lack of change in breeding systems, given diverse ecological and behavioral circumstances, means either cooperative breeding is malleable (selectively advantageous in a variety of ecological conditions) or represents phylogenetic inertia. A final analysis demonstrates that phylogenetic confidence indices fail to express the degree to which characters in a matrix are non-conflicting and congruent (for a given level of noise) and show only limited abilities to distinguish among probabilities of analyses making type II errors.

Abstract:
During the past half century, ecology has emerged from its roots in biology to become a stand-alone discipline that interfaces organisms, the physical environment and human affairs. This is in line with the root meaning of the word ecology which is ‘the study of the household’ or the total environment in which we live. When I first came to the University of Georgia in 1940 as an instructor in the Department of Zoology, ecology was considered a rather unimportant sub-division of biology. At the end of World War II, we had a staff meeting to discuss ‘core curriculum’, or what courses every biology major should be required to take. My suggestion that ecology should be part of this core was rejected by all other members of the staff; they said ecology was just descriptive natural history with no basic principles. It was this ‘put down’, as it were, that started me thinking about a textbook that would emphasize basic principles, which eventually became the first edition of my Fundamentals of Ecology, published in 1953. In those early days ‘ecology’ was often defined as the ‘study of organisms in relation to environment’. The environment was considered a sort of inert stage in which the actors, that is the organisms, played the game of natural selection. Now we recognize that the ‘stage’ and the ‘actors’ interact with each other constantly so that not only do organisms relate to the physical environment, but they also change the environment. Thus, when the first green microbes, the cynobacteria, began putting oxygen into the atmosphere, the environment was greatly changed, making way for a whole new set of aerobic organisms. Also, when one goes from the study of structure to the study of function, then the physical sciences (including energetics, biogeochemical cycling and earth sciences in general) have to be included. And, of course, now more than ever, we have to consider humans and the social sciences as part of the environment. So we now have essentially a new discipline of ‘ecology’ that is a three-way interface.

Abstract:
Müsilaj (deniz salyası) hemen hemen tüm bitkilerin ve bazı mikroorganizmaların ürettiği kalın, yapışkan bir maddedir (Mecozzi vd., 2005). Biyolojik ve kimyasal birçok koşulun bir araya gelmesiyle oluşmaktadır. Bitkilerde su ve gıdanın depolanması, tohumların çimlenmesi ve zar kalınlaşması benzeri işlemlerde çeşitli roller üstlenir (Danovaro vd., 2009). Son dönemde Marmara Denizi’nde yaşanan durumla ülkemizin gündemine oturan deniz salyasının oluşumunda çok farklı sebepler gündeme gelse de üç temel etmenden bahsetmek mümkündür: Deniz sıcaklıklarının ortalama sıcaklıkların üzerine çıkması, denizlerdeki kirlilik oranının artması ve denizin durağan olması (Keleş vd., 2020). Bahsi geçen bu üç durumun gerçekleşmesi durumunda bazı plankton türlerinin hızla çoğalmaya başlamasıyla deniz salyasının artış gösterdiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada deniz salyası üzerine yapılan bilimsel araştırmaların genel özellikleri üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Çalışmada deniz salyasına yönelik araştırmaların disiplinler arası yapısı veriye dayalı bir analizle gözler önüne serilmiştir. İş birliği örüntüsünün yüksek olduğu bu çalışmalarda Zoology, Plant Sciences, Oceanography, Marine & Freshwater Biology, Limnology, Fisheries, Environmental Sciences ve Ecology disiplinlerinin ortaklaşa çalışmalar yürüttüğü gözlemlenirken, İtalya, Fransa, Çin, Hırvatistan ve ABD yayın sayısı bakımından dikkat çeken ülkeler arasında yer almıştır.
