2008 journal article
Interaction location outweighs the competitive advantage of numerical superiority in Cebus capucinus intergroup contests
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 105(2), 577–581.
author keywords: between-group competition; intergroup dominance; payoff asymmetries; resource holding potential
MeSH headings : Aggression; Animals; Automation; Behavior, Animal; Cebus / physiology; Cebus / psychology; Competitive Behavior; Game Theory; Models, Theoretical; Panama; Radio Waves; Social Behavior; Social Dominance; Telemetry; Territoriality
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that contest outcome depends on an interaction between group size and location, such that small groups can defeat much larger groups near the center of their home range.

Ocelots on Barro Colorado Island Are Infected with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus but Not Other Common Feline and Canine Viruses
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 44(3), 760–765.
author keywords: Barro Colorado Island; FIV; Leopardus; ocelot; serology
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Domestic / virology; Animals, Wild / virology; Antibodies, Viral / blood; Conservation of Natural Resources; Felidae / virology; Female; Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline / immunology; Lentivirus Infections / epidemiology; Lentivirus Infections / transmission; Lentivirus Infections / veterinary; Male; Panama / epidemiology; Seroepidemiologic Studies; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
It is hypothesized that isolation of this population has prevented introduction of pathogens typically attributed to contact with domestic animals, and the high density of ocelots on Barro Colorado Island may contribute to a high prevalence of FIV infection, as would be expected with increased contact rates among conspecifics in a geographically restricted population.

Home-range use by the Central American agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) on Barro Colorado Island, Panama
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 24(4), 367–374.
author keywords: agouti; Dasyprocta punctata; habitat use; home range; mammal density; predation risk; space use
TL;DR:
These movement data help to understand the potential impacts of agoutis as seed dispersers, predicting that D. punctata will encounter and hoard fallen fruit within 10–200 m (i.e. radius of home range) of its source, and move seeds towards refuges such as ground holes and dense vegetation around recent tree falls.

LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY OF EASTERN COYOTES BASED ON LARGE-SCALE ESTIMATES OF ABUNDANCE
Ecological Applications, 18(4), 1014–1027.
author keywords: abundance; Adirondack State Park; New York; Canis latrans; eastern coyote; fecal DNA; landscape ecology; noninvasive survey
MeSH headings : Animals; Coyotes; Ecosystem; Models, Biological; New York; Population Density
TL;DR:
Habitat models predicting coyote abundance using multi-scale vegetation and landscape data and an information-theoretic model selection approach reject the hypothesis that eastern forests are unsuitable habitat for coyotes and support the need for a nuanced view of how eastern coyotes use forested habitats.

Relating stream physical habitat condition and concordance of biotic productivity across multiple taxa
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 65(12), 2667–2677.
TL;DR:
The analysis supported the combined use of geomor- phic and habitat assessments as a comprehensive indicator of stream physical habitat condition and encouraged the use of additional taxa, in addition to widely used macroinvertebrate metrics, as indicators of the composite effects of physical habitat impairment in stream ecosystems.

Diet of Invasive Adult White Perch (Morone americana) and their Effects on the Zooplankton Community in Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain
Journal of Great Lakes Research, 34(3), 485–494.
author keywords: White perch; Morone americana; diet composition; trophic cascade; Daphnia
TL;DR:
It is likely that adult white perch grazing in Missisquoi Bay has contributed to a reduction in Daphnia density which in turn may be contributing to summertime cyanobacteria dominance in this bay.

Elevated Concentrations of Ethinylestradiol, 17β-Estradiol, and Medroxyprogesterone have Little Effect on Reproduction and Survival of Ceriodaphnia dubia
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 81(3), 230–235.
author keywords: estrogen; ethinylestradiol; medroxyprogesterone; Ceriodaphnia dubia; endocrine disruptor
MeSH headings : Animals; Cladocera / drug effects; Cladocera / physiology; Estradiol / toxicity; Ethinyl Estradiol / toxicity; Medroxyprogesterone / toxicity; Reproduction / drug effects; Toxicity Tests, Chronic / methods; Water Pollutants, Chemical / toxicity
TL;DR:
The C. dubia 7-day chronic toxicity test is probably not a useful monitoring tool for vertebrate hormones and their pharmaceutical analogs unless other sensitive endpoints such as maturation rates, molt frequency, and offspring sex ratios are incorporated in a practical manner.

Upstream Oversight Assessment for Agrifood Nanotechnology: A Case Studies Approach
Risk Analysis, 28(4), 1081–1098.
author keywords: agriculture; food; nanotechnology; oversight; risk
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Food; Nanotechnology; Risk Assessment
TL;DR:
The approach, termed upstream oversight assessment (UOA), relies on distinct case studies of proposed applications of agrifood nanotechnology to highlight areas that need study and attention and has potential as a key element of anticipatory governance.

Birds of a feather: Interpolating distribution patterns of urban birds
Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 77(1), 59–28.
author keywords: interpolation; Kriging; avian; urban; home range; population distribution
TL;DR:
This work derives habitat probability maps for three bird species known to differentially occupy the urban to rural gradient within the Phoenix metropolitan area and surrounding desert and finds that both methods adequately captured spatial distribution of the three species and are sufficient for creating distribution maps of avian species.

MeSH headings : Air Pollutants / analysis; Ammonia / analysis; Animal Husbandry; Animals; Cattle; Environmental Monitoring; Geography; Manure; Nitrogen / analysis; North Carolina; Poultry; Swine; Waste Disposal, Fluid
TL;DR:
Observed regional patterns of reduced nitrogen deposition can be largely explained by two factors: limited atmospheric transport distance, and spatial aggregation of CAFOs.

An Integrated Approach to Oversight Assessment for Emerging Technologies
Risk Analysis, 28(5), 1197–1220.
author keywords: expert elicitation; multicriteria decision analysis; multidisciplinary; nanotechnology; oversight assessment; risk
TL;DR:
An approach that blends risk analysis, social science, public administration, legal, public policy, and ethical perspectives to develop a broad set of criteria for assessing oversight systems is developed and proposed for use as a tool for analyzing relationships among features, outcomes, and tradeoffs of oversight systems.

Partitioning vegetation response to anthropogenic stress to develop multi-taxa indicators of wetland condition
Ecological Applications, 18(4), 983–1001.
Contributors: C. Johnston *, D. Ghioca*, M. Tulbure* , B. Bedford*, M. Bourdaghs*, C. Frieswyk*, L. Vaccaro*, J. Zedler*
author keywords: carex; dikes; emergent; fen; floristic quality; Great Lakes; hydrologic modification; invasive plants; land use; lemnids; marsh; Typha
MeSH headings : Great Lakes Region; Human Activities; Humans; Magnoliopsida / growth & development; Magnoliopsida / physiology; Models, Biological; Wetlands
TL;DR:
H hierarchical partitioning was used to evaluate the independent influence of geomorphology, geography, and anthropogenic stress on common wetland plants of the U.S. Great Lakes coast and multi-taxa models indicating wetland condition were developed, making them easier to implement than existing indicators.
