Dissolved free amino acid (DFAA) profiles have been hypothesized to allow salmonids to distinguish their natal river from others nearby. To evaluate this hypothesis, we sampled DFAAs in spring and autumn (when juveniles learn and adults return, respectively) from 3 rivers in New England, USA, that support the landlocked Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758. We used 3 approaches to determine the level of consistency between seasons and difference between rivers that would be needed for DFAA to support imprinting and subsequent homing for reproduction: hierarchical cluster analysis, statistical difference tests, and equivalence tests. DFAAs were not detected in the water column of the study rivers, but sediment porewater samples yielded DFAAs at measurable concentrations. Hierarchical cluster analysis, difference testing, and equivalence testing all indicated that some combinations of sediment porewater DFAA concentrations differed among rivers and were similar between spring and autumn within a river. Specifically, equivalence tests revealed subsets of sediment porewater DFAAs that were seasonally equivalent within each river, and none of the seasonally equivalent DFAAs were common among all 3 rivers (i.e., each river had a unique DFAA profile). However, exceptions detected in the cluster analysis and equivalence testing raise questions regarding the extent to which DFAAs might be sufficient for salmon imprinting and homing. Thus, DFAAs may fulfill some of the hypothesized prerequisites as salmon imprinting and homing odor cues, but our lack of understanding of salmon discriminatory abilities and limited DFAA data preclude definitive conclusions about the sufficiency of DFAAs alone as homing cues.}, number={4}, journal={Freshwater Science}, publisher={University of Chicago Press}, author={Minkoff, David and Ardren, William R. and Kaiser, Karl and Dittman, Andrew H. and Quinn, Thomas P. and Atema, Jelle and Taylor, Brad W.}, year={2023}, month={Dec}, pages={375–391} } @article{dilworth_taylor_2023, title={Facilitating the recovery of insect communities in restored streams by increasing oviposition habitat}, volume={12}, ISSN={1051-0761 1939-5582}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/eap.2939}, DOI={10.1002/eap.2939}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={Ecological Applications}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Dilworth, Samantha and Taylor, Brad W.}, year={2023}, month={Dec} } @article{taylor_allf_hopkins_irwin_jewell_nevo_nichols_rodríguez valerón_evans_sörensen_et al._2023, title={Nature's chefs: Uniting the hidden diversity of food making and preparing species across the tree of life}, volume={73}, ISSN={0006-3568 1525-3244}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biad026}, DOI={10.1093/biosci/biad026}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={6}, journal={BioScience}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Taylor, Brad W and Allf, Bradley and Hopkins, Skylar R and Irwin, Rebecca E and Jewell, Michelle and Nevo, Omer and Nichols, Lauren M and Rodríguez Valerón, Nabila and Evans, Joshua D and Sörensen, Pia M and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Apr}, pages={408–421} } @article{taylor_2023, title={Nature’s chefs: Uniting the hidden diversity of food making and preparing species across the tree of life}, url={https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biad026}, DOI={doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biad026}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={BioScience}, author={Taylor, Brad}, editor={Taylor, BradEditor}, year={2023} } @article{demi_hughes_taylor_2022, title={Characterizing the role of phosphorus availability and periphytic algae in the food choice and performance of detritivorous caddisflies (Trichoptera:Limnephilidae)}, volume={41}, ISSN={2161-9549 2161-9565}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/717953}, DOI={10.1086/717953}, abstractNote={Organisms that rely on detritus as their primary food source may face particularly strong nutritional constraints on growth and development, given the characteristically poor quality of detrital resources.

We tested 3 hypotheses that describe feeding preferences and performance under different scenarios of P limitation, algal limitation, and co-limitation by P and algae. We observed evidence of preferential feeding behavior for each of the 4 taxa, with 2 species exhibiting preferences for conditioned detritus with high algal biomass and 2 for detritus from the +P treatments. We observed agreement between feeding preferences and performance (growth, growth efficiency, mortality) for only 2 taxa, with A. nigriculus exhibiting higher growth rates and growth efficiency on their preferred high-P detritus, and L. externus experiencing lower mortality when reared on their preferred high algal biomass detritus.

For example, trait variation suggests detritivores process detritus at different rates and make different contributions to whole-assemblage processing, which could be sensitive to compositional shifts. Here, we used a series of microcosm experiments to quantify species-specific coarse and fine particulate organic matter (CPOM and FPOM) processing for ten larval caddisfly species and three non-caddisfly species in high-elevation wetlands. We then compared trait-based models including life history, dietary, and extrinsic traits to determine which traits explained interspecific variation in detritus processing. Finally, we compared processing by mixed caddisfly assemblages in microcosms and natural ponds to additive predictions based on species-specific processing to determine if single-species effects are additive in multi-species assemblages. We found considerable interspecific variation in biomass-specific CPOM (13-fold differences) and FPOM (8-fold differences) processing. Furthermore, on a mass-specific basis, amphipods, chironomids, and caddisflies processed similar amounts of detritus, suggesting non-shredder taxa could process more than previously recognized. Trait models including dietary percent detritus, development rate, body size, and wetland hydroperiod explained 81 and 57% of interspecific variation in CPOM and FPOM processing, respectively. Finally, species-specific additive predictions were strikingly similar to mixed-assemblage processing in microcosms and natural ponds, with the largest difference being a 15% overestimate. Thus, additivity of species-specific processing suggests single-species rates may be useful for understanding functional consequences of shifting assemblages, and a trait-based approach to predicting species-specific processing could support generating additive predictions of whole-assemblage processing.}, number={4}, journal={Oecologia}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Balik, Jared A. and Leitz, Cameron and Washko, Susan E. and Cleveland, Brittney and Krejsa, Dianna M. and Perchik, Marieke E. and Stogsdill, Alexander and Vlah, Mike and Demi, Lee M. and Greig, Hamish S. and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Aug}, pages={951–963} } @article{jordt_taylor_2021, title={A rolling stone gathers no eggs: the importance of stream insect egg laying natural history for stream restoration}, volume={102}, ISSN={0012-9658 1939-9170}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy.3331}, DOI={10.1002/ecy.3331}, abstractNote={The degradation of waterways has led to the widespread practice of stream restoration aimed at accelerating recovery from damage by land-use change and other disturbances.

While researching the role that phosphorus (P) plays in increasing diatom biomass in rocky-bottomed rivers, I (MLB) was puzzled by the presence of thick mats (“blooms”) of the benthic diatom Didymosphenia geminata in low-nutrient rivers with no obvious evidence of a pollution source (Figure 1a). D geminata has long been associated with nutrient-poor conditions and is native to but historically rare in North America (Figure 1b). Beginning in the early 1990s, thick and visually unappealing mats of the diatoms appeared suddenly in streams that drained pristine watersheds, despite no obvious increase in pollution. The basic natural history of this species was unknown and the origin of the blooms remained an unsolved mystery for more than 20 years. (a) Didymosphenia geminata mat formation in North York Creek, a nutrient-poor stream in the Canadian Rocky Mountains (1600-m elevation). (b) A single specimen of D geminata was found in seven sediment cores taken 7 km WNW of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The sediment layer in which this D geminata specimen was found dated to between 11,000 and 12,000 calendar years ago (Letham et al. 2016). U Silins B Letham After the species was introduced to New Zealand, D geminata blooms began to be observed there in 2004 (Kilroy 2004), but early evidence suggested that more was involved than a simple movement of cells into previously uninhabited areas. For instance, when transplanted into spring-fed creeks that were tributaries of rivers already infested with D geminata, the diatoms failed to flourish (Sutherland et al. 2007) even though nutrient levels, including P, were higher in the creeks than in the rivers. These creeks also appeared to be physically suitable habitats for the species. Because D geminata did not form blooms when P concentrations were high, it was hypothesized that a different chemical constituent of stream water was critical for bloom formation. A carefully conducted study was undertaken in New Zealand in search of a “silver bullet” in spring water that would prevent D geminata establishment and might be useful for controlling the blooms in other rivers. I designed a riverbank flume apparatus that would allow settled D geminata cells to be bathed in either river water or spring water without first having to be physically transplanted. Once D geminata cells had attached on the bottoms of all flumes exposed to river water, the source of water for some populations was gradually switched to the spring water. I assumed that the newly settled cells would perish, but something unexpected happened (Bothwell and Kilroy 2011). After being exposed to spring water for 8 days, 40% of D geminata cells were in late stages of cell division compared to only 10% of the cells with continued exposure to river water (Figure 2). D geminata cells seemed to thrive in spring water and a follow-up experiment confirmed that, when exposed to spring water, cell division rates were elevated because of the higher nutrient levels, especially dissolved P (Bothwell and Kilroy 2011). (a) A non-dividing D geminata cell; (b) D geminata undergoing cell division; (c) D geminata cell division complete, but new daughter cells remain attached in a “doublet” stage; (d) after division and separation, daughter cells remain attached to the same stalk until new stalks are produced by each cell. Under low light, cells can be “trapped” in this stage because high photosynthetic rates are needed for new stalk production. M Bothwell and G Meyer So, why would higher P concentrations have a positive impact on cell division but a negative impact on bloom development? This paradox was clarified by an additional observation – that D geminata populations with rapidly dividing cells tended to have much shorter stalks, which would adversely affect bloom development. Observations on the frequency of cellular division allowed us to explore the influence of P on D geminata growth and mat development in rivers. On the South Island of New Zealand, river surveys showed the counterintuitive, inverse relationship between low rates of D geminata cell division and the more extensive coverage and thickness of D geminata mats on river bottoms (Kilroy and Bothwell 2012). For mats to develop, D geminata's extracellular stalks – which are composed of polysaccharides (Hoagland et al. 1993) – need to elongate, but frequent cell division results in shorter stalks (Kilroy and Bothwell 2011) and a lower probability of benthic mat formation. By increasing the rates of cell division, high P concentrations appear to leave little time for stalks to grow longer and so mats fail to develop. The presence of D geminata blooms in nutrient-poor conditions challenges the long-held view of the relationship between limiting nutrients and algal production in freshwater ecosystems. The opposing effects of P availability on cell division versus non-cellular mat development suggest a strategy that is more reminiscent of terrestrial plants reallocating energy into tissues and structures (eg roots or shoots) needed to access limiting resources. Production of long extracellular stalks allows cells to have better access to nutrients in free-flowing water; this enhanced accessibility is one of the longstanding explanations for the adaptive significance of diatom stalk production (Hudon and Bourget 1981). The explanation for higher algal-derived carbon in a declining P regime is the shunting of carbon into non-P-containing stalks. Unlike algal “blooms” in the limnological lexicon, D geminata mat formation does not necessarily represent increased cellular biomass. An even greater paradox is that, because an excessive P supply results in the decline of mats (Kilroy and Larned 2016), the D geminata mats produced in response to low P must remain P-limited to continue to dominate benthic algal communities. A careful balance between P acquisition and allocation of growth to stalks is required for D geminata to remain the dominant algal taxon in a stream ecosystem. While lower P concentrations provide an explanation for why D geminata mats form, whether or not dissolved P in pristine streams worldwide is declining remains unknown (Taylor and Bothwell 2014). Surprisingly, studying the natural history of D geminata's cellular division has been the key to deciphering the larger-scale natural history of mat formation and the recent dominance of this organism when P concentrations are low.

Schmidt blooms. Starting with the first appearance of D. geminata mats in streams on Vancouver Island in the late 1980s and followed years later by blooms in Iceland, South Dakota and Poland, D. geminata blooms were enigmatic for nearly 20 years. Early papers exploring whether blooms were caused by environmental change consistently failed to identify any specific factor(s) associated with their onset. Following the D. geminata outbreak in New Zealand in 2004 that seemed to result from an introduction of the species, the possibility that blooms that had previously occurred elsewhere in the world might also be explained by the introduction and movement among watersheds of a new variant with a bloom-forming tendency was touted and widely accepted. Now, however, the identification of very low soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP; below ∼2 ppb) as the proximate cause of bloom formation, has led to the more likely explanation that D. geminata blooms are the result of large-scale human intervention in climatic, atmospheric and edaphic processes that favour this ultra-oligotrophic species. In this new view, blooms of D. geminata are not simply due to the introduction of cells into new areas. Rather, bloom formation occurs when the SRP concentration is low, or is reduced to low levels by the process of oligotrophication. Mechanisms that potentially cause oligotrophication on global and regional scales are identified.}, number={3}, journal={Diatom Research}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Bothwell, Max L. and Taylor, Brad W. and Kilroy, Cathy}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={229–236} } @article{taylor_bothwell_2014, title={The Origin of Invasive Microorganisms Matters for Science, Policy, and Management: The Case of Didymosphenia geminata}, volume={64}, ISSN={1525-3244 0006-3568}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biu060}, DOI={10.1093/biosci/biu060}, abstractNote={The value of distinguishing native from nonnative invasive species has recently been questioned.

Effective responses to invasive microorganisms depend on knowing whether their proliferation is caused by being nonnative or is the result of changing environmental conditions that promote invasive characteristics of native species.}, number={6}, journal={BioScience}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Taylor, Brad W. and Bothwell, Max L.}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={531–538} } @article{mcdermott_irwin_taylor_2013, title={Using economic instruments to develop effective management of invasive species: insights from a bioeconomic model}, volume={23}, number={5}, journal={Ecological Applications}, publisher={Ecological Society of America}, author={McDermott, Shana M and Irwin, Rebecca E and Taylor, Brad W}, year={2013}, pages={1086–1100} } @inbook{peckarsky_allan_mcintosh_taylor_2012, title={9.

We used an extensive data set to compare natural loss rates of two mayfly species that co-occur in high-elevation streams varying in predation risk, and experience different abiotic conditions during larval development. Our goals were to generate hypotheses relating predation to variation in prey population dynamics and to evaluate alternative mechanisms to explain such variation. While neither loss rates nor abundance of the species that develops during snowmelt (Baetis bicaudatus) varied systematically with fish, loss rates of the species that develops during baseflow (Baetis B) were higher in streams containing brook trout than streams without fish; and surprisingly, larvae of this species were most abundant in trout streams. This counter-intuitive pattern could not be explained by a trophic cascade, because densities of intermediate predators (stoneflies) did not differ between fish and fishless streams and predation by trout on stoneflies was negligible. A statistical model estimated that higher recruitment and accelerated development enables Baetis B to maintain larger populations in trout streams despite higher mortality from predation. Experimental estimates suggested that predation by trout potentially accounts for natural losses of Baetis B, but not Baetis bicaudatus. Predation by stoneflies on Baetis is negligible in fish streams, but could make an important contribution to observed losses of both species in fishless streams. Non-predatory sources of loss were higher for B. bicaudatus in trout streams, and for Baetis B in fishless streams. We conclude that predation alone cannot explain variation in population dynamics of either species; and the relative importance of predation is species- and environment-specific compared to non-predatory losses, such as other agents of mortality and non-consumptive effects of predators.}, number={2}, journal={Oecologia}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Peckarsky, Barbara L. and Kerans, Billie L. and Taylor, Brad W. and McIntosh, Angus R.}, year={2008}, month={Mar}, pages={431–440} } @article{hall_koch_marshall_taylor_tronstad_2007, title={How body size mediates the role of animals in nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems}, journal={Body size: the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems}, publisher={Cambridge University Press New York, NY}, author={Hall, RO and Koch, BENJAMIN J and Marshall, MICHAEL C and Taylor, BRAD W and Tronstad, LUSHA M}, year={2007}, pages={286–305} } @article{improving the fluorometric ammonium method: matrix effects, background fluorescence, and standard additions_2007, volume={26}, number={2}, journal={Journal of the North American Benthological Society}, publisher={The University of Chicago Press}, year={2007}, pages={167–177} } @article{taylor_flecker_hall_2006, title={Loss of a harvested fish species disrupts carbon flow in a diverse tropical river}, volume={313}, number={5788}, journal={Science}, publisher={American Association for the Advancement of Science}, author={Taylor, Brad W and Flecker, Alexander S and Hall, Robert O}, year={2006}, pages={833–836} } @phdthesis{taylor_2006, title={The functional importance of a migratory detritivorous fish on carbon flow and nitrogen cycling in a neotropical stream}, school={University of Wyoming}, author={Taylor, Brad W}, year={2006} } @inproceedings{taylor_hall_flecker_fisher_grant_jeffs_richmond_thomas_2005, title={Alteration of the Fates and Fluxes of Nitrogen by Detritivorous Fish: a Whole-Stream Manipulation and a 15N-tracer Addition}, volume={2005}, booktitle={AGU Spring Meeting Abstracts}, author={Taylor, BW and Hall, RO and Flecker, AS and Fisher, CA and Grant, MB and Jeffs, L and Richmond, EL and Thomas, SA}, year={2005}, pages={NB21B–02} } @inproceedings{ulseth_flecker_taylor_hall_gettel_marino_juice_2005, title={Detritivorous Fish Increase N-fixation in a Tropical Stream.}, volume={2005}, booktitle={AGU Spring Meeting Abstracts}, author={Ulseth, AJ and Flecker, AS and Taylor, BW and Hall, RO and Gettel, GM and Marino, R and Juice, SM}, year={2005}, pages={NB21D–01} } @inproceedings{hall_behn_taylor_flecker_2005, title={Linking Invertebrates With Ecosystem Nitogen Cycling in a Tropical Stream}, volume={2005}, booktitle={AGU Spring Meeting Abstracts}, author={Hall, RO and Behn, K and Taylor, BW and Flecker, AS}, year={2005}, pages={NB21B–03} } @article{allan_abell_hogan_revenga_taylor_welcomme_winemiller_2005, title={Overfishing of inland waters}, volume={55}, number={12}, journal={BioScience}, publisher={American Institute of Biological Sciences}, author={Allan, J David and Abell, Robin and Hogan, ZEB and Revenga, Carmen and Taylor, Brad W and Welcomme, Robin L and Winemiller, Kirk}, year={2005}, pages={1041–1051} } @article{taylor_irwin_2004, title={Linking economic activities to the distribution of exotic plants}, volume={101}, ISSN={0027-8424 1091-6490}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/PNAS.0405176101}, DOI={10.1073/PNAS.0405176101}, abstractNote={The human enterprise is flooding Earth's ecosystems with exotic species. Human population size is often correlated with species introductions, whereas more proximate mechanisms, such as economic activities, are frequently overlooked. Here we present a hypothesis that links ecology and economics to provide a causal framework for the distribution of exotic plants in the United States. We test two competing hypotheses (the population-only and population-economic models) using a national data set of exotic plants, employing a statistical framework to simultaneously model direct and indirect effects of human population and ecological and economic variables. The population-only model included direct effects of human population and ecological factors as predictors of exotics. In contrast, the population-economic model included the direct effects of economic and ecological factors and the indirect effects of human population as predictors of exotics. The explicit addition of economic activity in the population-economic model provided a better explanation for the distribution of exotics than did the population-only model. The population-economic model explained 75% of the variation in the number of exotic plants in the 50 states and provided a good description of the observed number of exotic plants in the Canadian provinces and in other nations in 85% of the cases. A specific economic activity, real estate gross state product, had the strongest positive effect on the number of exotics. The strong influence of economics on exotics demonstrates that economics matter for resolving the exotic-species problem because the underlying causes, and some of the solutions, may lie in human-economic behaviors.}, number={51}, journal={Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, publisher={Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, author={Taylor, B.
