▼ In the process of urbanization, the population and economy are rapidly growing. To achieve the demand of urbanization, natural areas are developed into construction areas in the city. Nature areas began to shrink and fragment, causing a great deal of damage, such as species extinction. The ability of nature to control the flood, adjust the rain, and filter pollution has been lost. This study is based on the city of Kaohsiung and Kaohsiung County. The study uses a large scale to re-examine the spatial structure of this area to propose an effective and reasonable planning policy for the environment and ecosystem. The study introduces the concept of green infrastructure to develop a green network system for the city. Green infrastructure is a network connecting natural areas and open spaces that can save ecological value and retain the ecosystem function. A green infrastructure network consists of hubs and links, and the network pattern can be made for different purposes. The study chose green land with an area of more than twenty hectares for the hubs and chose the terrestrial animal for the target species. The study uses the least-cost path analysis to plan the links for the terrestrial animal. The least-cost path, which is the path of least resistance when the terrestrial animal passes through the landscape. All the hubs generated 903 links. To create the green infrastructure networks, this study uses the gravity model to evaluate which corridor is the most important. Using the graph theory, the study developed three plans for a green infrastructure network to meet different demands: the Paul Revere, Traveling Salesman, and Least Cost to User networks. Planners can see different demands dictating the choice between different green infrastructure networks. Finally, the study discusses the three-network structure, finding the important hubs and links for the terrestrial animal. These areas should be protected to maintain the green infrastructure network. Advisors/Committee Members: Hone-Jay Chu (chair), Shiau Yun Lu (committee member), Yang-Chi Chang (chair).

▼ The Sonoran Desert is projected to get hotter and drier as global climate change progresses. The Sonoran Desert has many rain-dependent, ephemeral water sites, along with perennial springs, provide water for desert wildlife. These waters are at risk of reduced hydroperiod or loss altogether from climate change and other anthropogenic activities. Managers have installed artificial water sites to augment the already limited water network of the Sonoran Desert. These artificial waters may become increasing important in the future but may result in management conflicts by facilitating invasive species spread that may further exacerbate the loss of native biodiversity. Connectivity and its opposite, isolation, thus both have important roles in conservation. My first chapter reviews the current understanding of the natural and artificial waters of the Sonoran Desert and how they relate to preservation of biodiversity and retention of landscape connectivity. I discuss how anthropogenic influences have exacerbated the already extreme environment and how this may impact the wildlife of the Sonoran Desert. Using the American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) as an example of an invasive species and the Chiricahua Leopard Frog (Lithobates chiricahuensis) as a native species, I discuss the possible negative consequences of invasive species use of artificial waters. Connectivity measures are also discussed to explore how the analysis of the landscape could improve management decisions. The second chapter focuses on describing the structural connectivity of the Sonoran Desert isolated waters network based on natural, current, and future scenarios. Using graph theory to analyze structural connectivity, my results indicate artificial water sites have augmented the structure of the Sonoran Desert isolated waters network. Total connectivity is also decreased across the Sonoran Desert as climate change reduces the number of rain dependent waters that will occur in the future. Using this understanding of the network connectivity, I developed a framework that can help identify habitat to manage and monitor for invasive species based on dispersal data, graph theory, and structural connectivity metrics. I found common structural connectivity metrics can be used to help understand invasive species’ ability to move through a landscape. This information can help guide the monitoring, mitigation, and prevention of invasive species. The third chapter addresses a multi-scale, multi-species, and multi-analysis approach to identifying landscape connectivity using least-cost paths, graph theory, and circuit theory. The bullfrog and the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) were selected as case studies to illustrate the need for connectivity between water sites and the need for isolation from invasive species. I projected structural and functional connectivity results, indicating climate impacts may reduce all connectivity potentials for both species. Mule deer will be less impacted than American bullfrogs, suggesting a proposed management strategy… Advisors/Committee Members: McIntyre, Nancy (committee member), Grisham, Blake (committee member), Griffis-Kyle, Kerry (Committee Chair).

Ekologija - Ekologija i geografija biljaka i zaštita biodiverziteta / Ecology - Ecology and geography of plants and protection of biodiversity

Iako su invazivni predstavnici roda Reynoutria proučavani od strane više autora, prevashodno na nivou pojedinačnih država, pojedinačnih staništa ili zaštićenih područja, nema naučnih radova u kojima se celovito analizira njihova ekologija, ukupno rasprostranjenje, kao i predviđanje buduće distribucije na području Srbije i jugoistočne Evrope. Takođe, evidentna je nedovoljna istraženost mehanizama adaptacije i strategije preživljavanja ovih taksona u antropogeno zagađenim staništima. Zbog svega, osnovni ciljevi ove disertacije su utvrđivanje prisustva i distribucije invazivnih taksona roda Reynoutria na području Srbije i jugoistočne Evrope, ekološka analiza u odnosu na klimatske parametre i tip staništa, procena invazibilnosti zaštićenih područja Srbije i jugoistočne Evrope, kao i analiza bioakumulacionih potencijala za makronutrijente i teške metale taksona R. x bohemica. Istraživanja su obavljena u periodu 2006. – 2016. godina. Zabeleženo je ukupno 4081 lokaliteta, u okviru tri različita tipa staništa. Najčešći taksoni su R. japonica i hibrid R. × bohemica. Primenom metode MaxEnt modelovanja utvrđeno je da padavine najtoplijeg kvartala (BIO18) imaju najveći uticaj na formiranje ekološke niše ovih taksona. Modelovana niša taksona R. × bohemica ukazuje na njegovu toleranciju visokih temperatura u različitim periodima godine, uz istovremeno niže količine padavina (i do 60 mm u odnosu na roditeljske vrste). Hemijskom analizom biljnih tkiva R.× bohemica, utvrđena je slaba akumulacija teških metala sa strategijom njihovog isključivanja, uz veoma efikasnu akumulaciju makronutrijenata. Rezultati upućuju na potrebu sprečavanja osnivanja novih populacija u blizini zaštićenih područja koja imaju pogodne sredinske faktore za razvoj ovih taksona.

The aim of this thesis is to understand movement and the evolution of routeways. The role of the individual and their decision-making process is discussed as a fundamental factor in the origins of paths and routeways. This process begins with the process of landscape learning, cognitive mapping and wayfinding, and is augmented over time with sharing of knowledge, monument building, technological advances, and the control and appropriation of road systems by elite members of society. In order to adequately discuss this evolution, this thesis involves a diachronic study of movement, beginning with landscape learning and practice of movement in the Mesolithic period. The changes and developments of the Neolithic period, Bronze Age and Iron Age are discussed, culminating in the development of road systems in the Early Medieval period. This topic is explored with a study of North Offaly in the Irish Midlands. It is a complex landscape of wetlands, esker ridges, rivers, dryland, and formerly vast woodland which provides several impediments to movement, as well as a number of natural routeways. The different scales of movement which would have been practiced are evident in this landscape, with a network of wetland trackways facilitating local movement, while natural routeways allow inter-regional movement. The evolution of these paths and routeways are discussed over the longue durée, demonstrating the continuity of movement, as well as occasions in which routeways became obsolete in response to major changes in settlement, social structures or technology. The decision-making process is also considered with the use of digital methodologies. Least Cost Paths and Agent-Based Modelling are used in this research to explore the variables involved as people navigate the landscape and negotiate obstacles. These paths are compared to the archaeological evidence to demonstrate how seemingly elegant structures can arise out of the cumulative behaviours of individual agents.

▼ Human induced hydrologic alteration is ubiquitous in North American riverscapes. These alterations have been shown to impact fishes by modifying habitats, influencing movement patterns and driving changes in community structure. Understanding these impacts is an essential first step for the conservation of fish in these systems. We use Western Silvery Minnow Hybognathus argyritis and the Milk River of southern Alberta as a model system to develop and apply an interdisciplinary approach to assess the impacts of hydrologic alteration on capture efficiency and habitat suitability of stream fishes. The capture efficiency of sampling gear is a key component of many fish research programs, and understanding the link between hydrology and capture efficiency is critical to accurately assessing the impacts of hydrologic alterations on fish. We measured seine net capture efficiency in the Milk River, and investigated the effects of flow, species, and habitat variables on capture efficiency using mixed effects models. Flow state was an important driver of capture efficiency, which increased ~5 % during augmented flow compared to natural flow. Habitat suitability assessments are commonly used to determine the impacts of hydrologic alteration on fishes, but often rely on poorly understood relationships between fish and their habitat. We used the swimming performance of Western Silvery Minnow to measure the cost of movement between habitat patches in the Milk River and incorporated this cost into a graph theoretic metric of habitat suitability (Equivalent Connected Area). Compared to augmented flow, the proportion of suitable area was ~ 475 % higher during natural flow, the mean cost of movement between habitat patches was ~ 13 % higher and Equivalent Connected Area increased ~ 0.119 (95% C.I. 0.109-0.130). By including flow as a variable in modelling capture efficiency and swimming performance as a mechanism defining habitat suitability, we show the utility and benefits of taking an interdisciplinary approach to assessing the impacts of hydrologic alteration on stream fishes.

▼ As ecosystems become increasingly fragmented, there has been a proliferation of research into fields such as resource use, movement ecology and habitat connectivity. To understand how species may adapt to threats associated with habitat fragmentation it is necessary to study these processes in dispersing individuals. However, this is seldom done. Dispersal is one of the most important life-history traits involved in species persistence and evolution, but the consequences of dispersal are determined primarily by those that survive to reproduce. Although dispersal is most effectively studied as a three-stage process (departure, transience and settlement), empirical studies rarely do so and an investigation into the entire process has probably never been carried out on any one species. Here I investigate the survival, resource use, movement ecology and connectivity of African lions (Panthera leo) in all three dispersal phases in addition to adulthood. I make use of a longterm dataset incorporating radio-telemetry and observational data from lions in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. Dispersal is inherently risky and my results show that male lions that disperse while young suffer high mortality, young dispersal being brought about by high off-take of territorial males. Dispersing males may be aware of risks associated with territorial adults as they position themselves far from them and utilise habitats and resources differently. However, dispersers, compared to adult males and females, are far less averse of risky, anthropogenic landscapes, suggesting they are the demographic most prone to human-lion conflict. The ontogenetic movement behaviour of lions reflects a transition from directional movement during transience, suggestive of sequential search strategies, to random or periodic use of a fixed territory after settlement. In terms of habitat connectivity, I show that radically different conclusions emerge depending on which demographic is used to parameterise connectivity models. Understanding the shifting mechanisms that species adopt throughout ontogeny is critical to their conservation in an increasingly fragmented world.

Le maintien de la connectivité à travers les paysages urbains, par nature très fragmentés, est un enjeu majeur de conservation de la biodiversité urbaine. On observe une prise en compte croissante de la connectivité dans les politiques d’aménagement du territoire, notamment avec l’établissement de la trame verte et bleue. De multiples outils cartographiques permettent de mettre en évidence les continuités écologiques (zones de forte connectivité), mais leur validation fonctionnelle fait souvent défaut. L’objectif de cette thèse est de valider les prédictions d’un modèle de chemin de moindre coût, sur plusieurs villes et avec différents modèles biologiques. Les espèces étudiées présentent différents modes et capacités de dispersion (vol, marche, reptation) et des exigences écologiques spécifiques (préférences pour les milieux herbacés ou boisés). Des protocoles de validation basés sur l’écologie du mouvement et la génétique du paysage sont appliqués, dans un souci de réplication (au sein de plusieurs villes) et de contrôle de la variabilité inter-individuelle. Nos résultats montrent des mouvements accrus au sein des continuités écologiques comparés à ceux observés en contextes paysagers prédits comme non connectés : les hérissons transloqués s’y déplacent sur des distances plus longues, plusieurs passereaux répondent à la repasse de chant sur de plus longues distances et les papillons de nuit montrent des taux de recapture beaucoup plus élevés. Par ailleurs, les analyses indirectes réalisées sur l’escargot petit-gris montrent une relation assez faible entre la différenciation génétique des populations et les modèles de connectivité. Ce travail fournit des arguments scientifiques pour soutenir la mise en place de continuités écologiques en milieu urbain.

Maintaining connectivity across urban landscape, intrinsically fragmented, is a major issue of urban biodiversity conservation. Connectivity is increasingly taken into account by policy and stakeholders, especially through the establishment of the blue-green infrastructure. Multiple mapping tools allow to detect ecological networks (highly connected areas), however their functionnal validation is often lacking. The objective of this study is to validate least cost path analysis predictions in several cities with different biological models. Studied species vary in terms of dispersal means and capacities (flight, walk, crawling) and habitat requirement (e.g. herbaceous or forested habitats). Several protocols based on movement ecology and landscape genetic are applied, focusing on replication (within and among cities) and control of inter-individual variability. Our results indicate that movement is increased in predicted ecological networks when compared with areas predicted as poorly connected: the translocated hedgehogs travelled longer distances, several passerine responded to song playback over longer distances, and moths showed increased recapture rates. Indirect analysis on the garden snail showed a weak relation between population genetic differentiation and…

▼ Between 1988 and 1989, an intensive archaeological survey of a small drainage known as Roan Mare coulee in southern Saskatchewan was conducted by Dr. Ernest Walker (Walker 1990). Among the 120 archaeological sites in the area, seven bison kills and a vast array of associated drivelines were identified. This study focuses upon the spatial interaction amongst the kills, the drivelines and the local environment in relation to the bison hunting strategies used on the Northern Plains. This is done by modelling where bison are likely to move in the terrain as well as how the topography obstructs their line of sight. As this problem covers a large spatial area and multiple different data sources, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are integrated into the research design in the form of Least Cost Path and Viewshed analyses. Both archaeological data from Walker's survey and environmental data such as elevation and water sources served as the input datasets required by ArcGIS's spatial analysis tools. The results of the Least Cost Path analyses were compared visually to both the location and orientation of the driveline evidence, while the viewshed results were compared to the trap's location at the valley edge. The results of this research showed that the drivelines found at Roan Mare coulee appear to be following the general orientation of the landscape at the broadest scales, and likely served to funnel bison over large distances. There also appear to be several locations on the landscape that are amenable to moving bison to several different sites. The viewshed evidence shows the smaller scale nuances between bison vision and the terrain in a hypothetical drive event. The differences in the viewable area available to the bison at each site likely played a role in the chosen strategy employed when that site was used. It is hoped that this style of research can be continued with higher quality data and additional variables to help clarify many of the subtleties found in a Plains bison drive.

▼ Understanding the events and processes responsible for patterns of within species diversity, provides insight into major evolutionary themes like adaptation, species distributions, and ultimately speciation itself. Here, I combine ecological, genetic and spatial perspectives to evaluate the roles that both historical and contemporary factors have played in shaping the population structure and genetic variation of foxsnakes (Pantherophis gloydi). First, I determine the likely impact of habitat loss on population distribution, through radio-telemetry (32 individuals) at two locations varying in habitat patch size. As predicted, individuals had similar habitat use patterns, but restricted movements to patches of suitable habitat at the more disturbed site. Also, occurrence records spread across a fragmented region were non-randomly distributed and located close to patches of usable habitat, suggesting habitat distribution limits population distribution. Next, I combined habitat suitability modeling with population genetics (589 individuals, 12 microsatellite loci) to infer how foxsnakes disperse through a mosaic of natural and altered landscape features. Boundary regions between genetic clusters were comprised of low suitability habitat (e.g. agricultural fields). Island populations were grouped into a single genetic cluster suggesting open water presents less of a barrier than non-suitable terrestrial habitat. Isolation by distance models had a stronger correlation with genetic data when including resistance values derived from habitat suitability maps, suggesting habitat degradation limits dispersal for foxsnakes. At larger temporal and spatial scales I quantified patterns of genetic diversity and population structure using mitochondrial (101 cytochrome b sequences) and microsatellite (816 individuals, 12 loci) DNA and used Approximate Bayesian computation to test competing models of demographic history. Supporting my predictions, I found models with populations which have undergone population size drops and splitting events continually had more support than models with small founding populations expanding to stable populations. Based on timing, the most likely cause was the cooling of temperatures and infilling of deciduous forest since the Hypisthermal. On a smaller scale, evidence suggested anthropogenic habitat loss has caused further decline and fragmentation. Mitochondrial DNA structure did not correspond to fragmented populations and the majority of foxsnakes had an identical haplotype, suggesting a past bottleneck or selective sweep.
