Abstract:

The response of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) to electrified eggs at the Venice Beach California least tern nesting colony was monitored throughout the 2014 season. Game cameras were deployed beside the artificial nests to record crow behavior towards the electrified eggs. Conditioned crows were defined as crows that were present within <15 feet but >1 foot of the electrified eggs and unconditioned crows were considered crows that were present within 1 foot of the eggs. The number of conditioned crows observed in the video clips significantly differed from a homogenous distribution using a chi-square test (p<0.001). The first 5 weeks of the experiment experienced a larger number of unconditioned crows than the remaining weeks of the experiment. A modified approach to the Lincoln index was also used to estimate population flux of crows at the Venice Beach colony. The nesting California least terns at Venice Beach successfully produced fledges when this predator aversion experiment was deployed, after 5 years of no reproductive success and the 2014 fledging per pair ratio was the second highest ratio recorded in 2013 and 2014. Further multi-year research is needed to clarify the efficacy of this management intervention as there may be associated confounding variables.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that the slow violence experienced by those in more traditional and alternative ways of food provisioning, which developed within public and private agri-food-safety governance, functions as a kind of protection racket that enables the dominance of particular epistemic, political and economic interests. While the institutional enactments of slow violence are typically not against the law they can be labelled criminal within a colloquial use of the term, not least because they are complicit with social injustice, exclusions and the rendering of many vulnerable to food insecurity and climate change. New feminist epistemologies, ontologies, and feminist ethics support a concern for care and justice while keeping people safe, as well as offer resources for better kinds of governance and would be more responsive to the contemporary opportunities from agro-ecology and food sovereignty.

Abstract:

This chapter outlines four future research questions where the size- and trait-based theory can be applied: stochasticity, behavioral ecology, coupling to primary production, and thermal ecology and climate change. The chapter first argues that differences in growth can be modeled with the size-based framework by introducing stochasticity into the feeding interaction. Next, the chapter contends that the behavioral response to food and predation risk has potentially big implications for community dynamics because it changes a key element in the model—namely, the interaction between individuals. On the matter of production, the chapter demonstrates that changing the carrying capacity or the productivity of the resource changes the food environment for the fish and that changes in the primary–secondary production would also have an impact on the carrying capacity of the stock-recruitment relation. Finally, the chapter looks at how increasing temperatures affect fish populations and communities on at least two time scales: on the short term is the direct physiological response to a temperature increase in terms of increasing metabolic demands. On the longer time scale is the ecological response where some species in a community will be replaced by other, better adapted, species.

Abstract:

The reptiles of the islands of the Sea of Cortés have provided many opportunities to test ecological and biogeographical hypotheses because they support a diverse fauna with much insular endemism; are numerous and of varying ages and degrees of isolation; are relatively undisturbed by human activity and introduced species; and have a relatively well-understood geological history (see chap. 2). In particular, contrasts of mainland and island reptile populations in the region have resulted in significant progress in testing theories of island biogeography, principles of ecological character displacement, ecological release, density compensation, and vicariance biogeography (see chap. 8). The reptiles, being conspicuous in these arid habitats, have attracted relatively more research attention than other vertebrates, and today we have a reasonably complete picture of at least which species are on which islands. Since the first edition of this book, nearly 20 years ago, there have been only 15 new records for the major islands, of which all but one are of snakes. In this chapter I review the basic elements of reptilian island biogeography in the Sea of Cortés with an emphasis on ecological factors shaping distributions and evolutionary trajectories. I first examine the patterns of species diversity and association across islands. I then take a closer look at some particular island forms, reviewing features of their life history that seem divergent from mainland relatives. In this regard I present some new data from a long-term study of two insular species of chuckwallas. Finally, I review patterns of population density across islands and their possible determinants. A recurrent debate in island biogeography centers on the relative importance of contemporary and ongoing ecological factors relative to historical circumstances in accounting for the number and the identities of species on islands. Historical biogeographers typically view the number of species on an island as being determined by the availability of appropriate habitats. They see changes in species composition chiefly as a consequence of alteration of the mix of habitats due to climatic change (e.g., Pregill and Olson 1980; Olson and Hilgartner 1982); extinctions are posited to occur in waves, as old habitats disappear and new ones become available.

Abstract:

<em>Abstract.—</em>Stochastic dynamics are central to theory, data analysis, and understanding in the fields of hydrology and population ecology. More importantly, hydrologic variability has been identified as a key process affecting biodiversity and coexistence in stream fish assemblages. Until recently, however, we have lacked tools by which hydrologic variability can be directly linked to measures of community stability. Herein, we show how a modification of Fourier analysis of daily average discharge data can be used to quantify aspects of hydrologic variability for three reference streams and then linked to measures of fish assemblage stability in Coweeta Creek, North Carolina; Sagehen Creek, California; and Otter Creek, Indiana) via multivariate autoregressive (MAR) models. Specifically, we define the magnitude of catastrophic variability as the standard deviation of <em>residual </em>flows referenced to a long-term annual trend, and individual catastrophic events as flows greater than (floods) or less than (droughts) two times this magnitude (i.e., 2 𝛔). We then directly link the magnitude of annual <em>residual </em>flows with MAR models that quantify the relationship between flows and the stability of fish assemblages from the same or nearby streams. Our results confirm that these streams represent a gradient in the stability properties of fish assemblages; Sagehen Creek is the most stable, whereas Otter Creek is the least stable. The timing of catastrophic high and low flows is most predictable in Sagehen Creek and least predictable in Big Raccon Creek (reference stream for Otter Creek), whereas the magnitude and frequency of <em>catastrophic </em>events varied in a manner less consistent with the gradient in fish community stability. Nevertheless, the stability of fish communities covaried significantly with both residual flow magnitudes (high- and low-flow events). Although this technique is not without limitations (e.g., it is most relevant to resident species), it appears to be a promising new tool for linking hydrologic variability directly to fish assemblage stability and, more broadly, for quantifying links between flow regulation and the viability of native aquatic faunas.

Abstract:

<em>Abstract.</em>—The habitat value of petroleum platforms for red snapper, <em>Lutjanus campechanus</em>, is poorly understood. However, it is widely recognized that the presence of thousands of platforms in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has affected the distribution of red snapper by the addition of hard substrate habitat. We evaluated the habitat value of petroleum platforms by monitoring the fidelity of red snapper to these structures with acoustic telemetry. In May 2003, 125 red snapper were captured with hook and line at several platforms in a 35-km<sup>2</sup> portion of the South Timbalier oil and gas lease blocks, 50 km south of Port Fourchon, Louisiana. Following anaesthetization with MS-222, an individually coded acoustic pinger was surgically implanted into the peritoneal cavity of each specimen. After a short recovery period fish were released at five platforms in the study area. Presence of individual snapper was recorded with omnidirectional acoustic receivers attached to eight platforms. Red snapper exhibited little movement among platforms in the study area; however, logistic regression showed a high initial fidelity to release location which subsequently decreased over time. Therefore, site fidelity was estimated to be high in the short-term, but much lower in the long-term. However, study results were confounded by tag detection issues that may have resulted in long-term site fidelity being underestimated. Overall, estimates provided of red snapper fidelity to petroleum platforms should lead to more effective management of this species by adding to the knowledge of the function of platforms as habitat and their importance to the GOM red snapper population.

Abstract:

The central grassland region of North America (Fig. 1.1) is the largest contiguous grassland environment on earth. Prior to European settlement, it was a vast, treeless area characterized by dense head-high grasses in the wet eastern portion, and very short sparse grasses in the dry west. As settlers swept across the area, they replaced native grasslands with croplands, most intensively in the east, and less so in the west (Fig. 1.2). The most drought-prone and least productive areas have survived as native grasslands, and the shortgrass steppe occupies the warmest, driest, least productive locations. James Michener (1974) provided an apt description of the harshness of the shortgrass region in his book Centennial:… It is not a hospitable land, like that farther east in Kansas or back near the Appalachians. It is mean and gravelly and hard to work. It lacks an adequate topsoil for plowing. It is devoid of trees or easy shelter. A family could wander for weeks and never 4 nd enough wood to build a house. (p. 64)… The objective of this chapter is to introduce the shortgrass steppe (Fig. 1.3) and its record of ecological research. First we present an ecological history of the shortgrass steppe since the Tertiary, and provide the geographic and climatic context for the region. Second we describe the major research sites, and the history of the three major entities or programs that have shaped much of the science done in the shortgrass steppe: the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)–Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the International Biological Programme (IBP), and the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program. Grasses have been an important component of the shortgrass steppe of North America since the Miocene (5–24 million years ago) (Axelrod, 1985; Stebbins, 1981). Before that, during the Paleocene and Eocene (34–65 million years ago), the vegetation was a mixture of temperate and tropical mesophytic forests. Two causes have been proposed as explanations for this ancient change from forest to grassland. First, global temperatures decreased rapidly during the Oligocene (24–34 million years ago), creating conditions for a drier climate. These drier conditions, combined with a renewal of the uplift of the Rocky Mountains that had begun during the Paleocene, left the Great Plains in a rain shadow.

Abstract:

<em>Abstract.</em>—The Nushagak Management District includes the drainages of the Wood, Nushagak-Mulchatna and Igushik rivers. Sockeye salmon <em>Oncorhynchus nerka </em>have been commercially harvested in the rivers and adjacent marine waters since at least 1893, but it was not until the mid-1950s that consistent escapement data began to be collected for active inseason management. Escapement refers to salmon that have survived (escaped) the fisheries in Bristol Bay and have entered rivers to spawn. Managers now have 50+ years of escapement and harvest data by year class (brood tables) for most systems in Bristol Bay. Brood tables provide excellent information on spawners versus recruits, sibling relationships, and other trends that help with setting escapement goals and forecasting future returns. Catch plus escapement information was used to predict run timing and total run abundance, information useful to inseason management decision making. Comparisons of inseason escapement counts and historical escapement curves are relied on by managers making day-to-day decisions to open and close the commercial fisheries. The managers’ primary goal in managing the commercial fisheries is to ensure escapement goals are met in all three river systems while maximizing catch. The long-term catch and escapement datasets for the Nushagak District systems were used to establish stock-specific escapement goals and pre-season run-size forecasting. Daily escapement estimates, aerial surveys, test fishing, and genetic information are essential. Escapement to spawning rivers can exceed 600,000 sockeye salmon in 24 hours.

Abstract:

<em>Abstract.</em>—The importance of wood for fish as individuals, populations, and communities and its role in the formation of habitats in large rivers is reviewed. Small-scale effects of wood on fish dominate the literature, but effects on populations and communities at the basin scale are not additive because increasing development of wood-influenced habitats modifies the transport of water, nutrients, and sediments. This, in turn, creates and maintains habitat resulting in increased spatial and temporal diversity and system resilience, which subsequently affect different life cycles of riverine fishes. Such effects depend on location; the relative influence of instream wood on fish and physical processes tends to decrease downstream in large basins, but the converse may be true in floodplains as their influence increases downstream. Because climatic factors control hydrology and temperature throughout the basin, and fish responses to management depend on large-scale, longer term processes as well as smaller ones, the research results reviewed here are assessed in the context of a basin-scale framework, the Ecohydrology Concept (EHC). A restoration strategy based on a basin-scale framework fosters a natural disturbance regime, increases the ability of the system to absorb impacts, and utilizes natural processes in the development of management tools. Reintroduction of wood in large rivers is an essential strategic component but will not, on its own, achieve significant benefits for fish and other biota without at least partial restoration of hydrological cycles, riparian vegetation, selected floodplains, and the associated natural disturbance regime.

Abstract:

<em>Abstract</em>.—After previous work indicated that tadpole madtoms <em>Noturus gyrinus</em> have been sold as “willow cats” and used as a bait species along the upper Mississippi River near Winona, Minnesota since as early as the 1970s, a digital search of Winona newspapers published from the late 1800s through 1960 was used to extend the historical record farther back in time. “Bullhead minnows” were used as bait as early as the 1920s, but most uses of this term occurred during the early 1950s. “Bullhead minnow” and related names were replaced in the mid-1950s by “willow cat,” probably to avoid confusion with less preferred young of the true bullheads <em>Ameiurus</em> spp. at a time when bait shops began advertising the availability of madtoms. That both “bullhead minnow” and “willow cat” referred to the same species is suggested by similarities in how the two baits were used. Both were used from April to October, primarily by anglers targeting large walleyes <em>Sander vitreus</em> in the tailwaters of dams or the vicinity of submerged wingdams. Use of willow cats in the 1950s, as in modern times, extended from lower Lake Pepin (Pool 4 of the Mississippi River) downstream at least as far as Pool 9. Historical patterns inferred by this study might be validated by comparable searches through archives of newspapers published in other river towns. There remains a need for further study of the current tadpole madtom fishery and its sustainability.
