Mountain pine beetle in lodgepole pine: mortality and fire implications (Project INT-F-07-03)

Mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) has infested over 2 million acres of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud.) forest since an outbreak began approximately in 2000 in north central Colorado. The tree mortality from mountain pine beetle outbreaks has the potential to alter stand composition and stand...

Mortality and reduced brood production in walnut twig beetles, Pityophthorus juglandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), following exposure to commercial strains of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum

Thousand cankers disease (TCD), caused by the walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis, and its associated fungal symbiont, Geosmithia morbida, is a disease of economic and ecological concern on eastern black...

Using stochastic models to incorporate spatial and temporal variability [Exercise 14]

To this point, our analysis of population processes and viability in the western prairie fringed orchid has used only deterministic models. In this exercise, we conduct a similar analysis, using a stochastic model instead. This distinction is of great importance to population biology in general and to conservation biology in particular. In deterministic models,...

The concept and use of elasticity in population viability models [Exercise 13]

As you have seen in exercise 12, plants, such as the western prairie fringed orchid, typically have distinct life stages and complex life cycles that require the matrix analyses associated with a stage-based population model. Some statistics that can be generated from such matrix analyses can be very informative in determining which variables in the model have the...

Correlation of fiber shape measures with dilute suspension properties

The correlations between the intrinsic viscosity of fiber suspensions and 17 measures of fiber shape were investigated. The intrinsic viscosities of suspensions of fibers with various shapes and...

Evaluation of resource selection methods with different definitions of availability

Because resource selection is of paramount importance to ecology and management of any species, we compared 6 statistical methods of analyzing resource selection data, given the known biological requirements of radiomarked Merriam?s wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo merriami) hens with poults in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A single variable,...

New approaches to forest planning: inventorying and mapping place values in the Pacific Northwest Region

This report chronicles a large-scale effort to map place values across the Pacific Northwest Region (Washington and Oregon) of the U.S. Forest Service. Through workshops held with Forest Service staff, 485 socioculturally meaningful places were identified. Staff also generated corresponding descriptions of the places? unique social and biophysical elements?in other...

Prey ecology of Mexican spotted owls in pine-oak forests of northern Arizona

We studied Mexican spotted owl (Strix occidentalis lucida) diets and the relative abundance and habitat associations of major prey species in a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa)?Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii) forest in northcentral Arizona, USA, from 1990 to 1993. The owl?s diet was comprised of 94% mammals by...
