Estimating Upper Bounds for Occupancy and Number of Manatees in Areas Potentially Affected by Oil from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

PLOS ONE, 9(3).

By: J. Martin *, H. Edwards*, F. Bled *, C. Fonnesbeck*, J. Dupuis*, B. Gardner n, S. Koslovsky*, A. Aven * ...

MeSH headings : Alabama; Animals; Ecosystem; Environmental Monitoring; Florida; Geography; Mississippi; Petroleum Pollution; Surveys and Questionnaires; Trichechus / physiology
TL;DR: An innovative modeling approach was applied to obtain upper estimates for occupancy and for number of manatees in areas potentially affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to illustrate that it is possible to derive estimates of occupancy rate and upper estimates of the number ofManatees present at the time of sampling, even when no manatee were observed in sampled plots during surveys.

Does biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests

Forest Ecology and Management, 321, 117–129.

By: K. Potter n  & C. Woodall *

author keywords: Species richness; Phylogenetic diversity; Functional diversity; Productivity; Carbon sequestration; Bioenergy
TL;DR: Phylogenetic species clustering was increasingly correlated with LAGB as live tree stocking increased on low-productivity sites, suggesting that the co-occurrence of tree species more widely distributed across the phylogenetic tree of life, and therefore likely possessing a wider variety of functional attributes, resulted in greater biomass accumulation on poorer sites.

Prey refuges as predator hotspots: ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) attraction to agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) dens

ACTA THERIOLOGICA, 59(2), 257–262.

By: W. Emsens *, B. Hirsch *, R. Kays n  & P. Jansen *

author keywords: Agouti; Behavior; Movement; Ocelot; Predation; Refuge
TL;DR: The results suggest that predators can be attracted to prey refuges or refuging prey, and that the benefits to prey of staying nearby a refuge would thus be counterbalanced by higher likelihoods of predator encounter. (via Semantic Scholar)
