▼ Standardized sampling methods for assessing the community structure and health of stream fisheries, freshwater mussels, and insects have been used for several decades. However, such methods are woefully lacking for crayfish. The research of this project involved evaluation of several methods for assessing crayfish populations. The first study (Chapter 2) aims to create standardized, robust sampling methods for assessing stream-dwelling crayfish assemblages and densities in riffle habitats at individual sites located in Missouri. Timed search sampling was used to capture all species present and assess crayfish relative abundance for each site, and quantitative kick seining was used to assess crayfish mean density (number per m2) in riffle habitats. Number of samples required for species richness estimation was analyzed by a resampling our timed search data (without replacement) to illustrate species accumulation at a site scale. Number of samples required for crayfish mean density estimation (relative to the crayfish mean population density) in riffle habitats was assessed by applying a standard deviation-based method to our sample pool from each site. By varying combinations of statistical rigor (percentage of species captured and confidence level), researchers can assess the advantages and disadvantages of alternative sampling effort scenarios. Crayfish burrow excavation was successful at capturing additional species not captured with other methods. Substrate size had a direct effect on crayfish mean density, while current velocity, water depth, and substrate size had significant effects on the mean density of one or more of the captured species. Site average current velocity had a positive effect and vegetation presence at a site had a negative effect on crayfish relative abundance. The second study (Chapter 3) focuses on defining tools for investigating crayfish population status and species distribution. Proper assessment of aquatic organisms requires standardized site selection and sampling methods over a broad geographic scale to examine communities beyond what is present at a single locality. This part of the study utilizes sampling methods for assessing crayfish species richness at the site scale, and through species accumulation analysis, determines the value of stream length (km) and area that one site adequately represents (e.g., for 100% of species richness captured, one site = 19 km of stream or 6281 ha of drainage area) in a drainage for adequate crayfish population and species distribution assessment. Our data suggest statistical balance can be made on the density of sites sampled in any given drainage to more efficiently utilize time and resources, representing a tradeoff between likelihood of capturing all species richness in a drainage and number of sites required to be sampled. Habitat variables were analyzed for potential relationships to crayfish relative abundances. Stream width and stream order were negatively correlated with crayfish relative abundance, whereas substrate size and channel… Advisors/Committee Members: Taylor, Christopher A. (advisor).

▼ The question of group-living in animals has attracted a lot of research attention. Today, we have a nuanced understanding of ultimate explanations and proximate mechanisms for group-living, as well as the genetic basis for seemingly puzzling aspects of sociality such as altruism. However, our current view of sociality has been obtained almost entirely in an intraspecific context, i.e. based on groups consisting of individuals of a single species. On the other hand, heterospecific sociality, i.e. groups formed by individuals of multiple species, has been largely ignored in group-living theory and empirical research. This is despite the fact that heterospecific sociality is widely prevalent in nature and is known to occur in many different contexts, in a variety of taxa and in both marine and terrestrial habitats. My dissertation focuses on one of the best-known examples of heterospecific sociality, namely heterospecific foraging associations of terrestrial insectivorous birds (commonly called mixed-species flocks; flocks hereon). Flocks are found all over the world, in a variety of habitats, and include a unique suite of species in each area. Although flocks are the best-studied among different types of heterospecific associations known, most of the research has been descriptive. In other words, while we have descriptions of the richness, size and composition of flocks from many areas, we know little about why and how flocks form. Therefore, one broad objective of this dissertation was to better understand the causes of flock formation. Birds are thought to join flocks either to obtain direct foraging benefits or better protection from predators. I used different approaches to understand which of these two reasons is likely to be more important. Additionally, to situate heterospecific sociality within sociality in general, I also examined whether the mechanisms underlying flocks are similar to single-species groups or unique to a mixed-species condition. In other words, are flocks a different route to obtain the same benefits as single-species groups, or a route to obtain benefits that conspecifics cannot provide? In the previous section, I described why understanding flocks is important from the point of view of sociality. Flocks are also important for the consequences they might have on community organization. While each flock is a collection of interacting individuals of different species, populations of species are linked in a network of interactions across multiple flocks in an area. The theoretical framework guiding our understanding of community organization is currently dominated by the idea of interspecific competition. Mutualisms or positive interactions, if any, are only expected to occur between members of different trophic levels. Only recently has the need to incorporate positive interactions between members of the same trophic level into ecological theory been emphasized. Flocks and other heterospecific associations present an important example of within-trophic level positive interactions.… Advisors/Committee Members: Shanker, Kartik (advisor).

O presente estudo avaliou a composição de bandos mistos de aves em uma paisagem de Floresta Atlântica, verificando se há estratificação entre os bandos de acordo com o estrato vertical vegetacional utilizado pelas espécies, e como os aspectos da paisagem influenciam a composição dos bandos mistos. Onze remanescentes florestais localizados na Bacia do rio Itajaí, Santa Catarina, Brasil, foram caracterizados pelo grau de conectividade com outras áreas florestais, sendo divididos em três categorias: 1) maciço; 2) conectado; e 3) isolado. Foram obtidas informações referentes à intensidade da perda de hábitat no entorno imediato das áreas. Foram registradas 117 espécies de aves, em uma média de 8,68 espécies por bando. A Ordem Passeriformes correspondeu a 88,89% das espécies amostradas, em sua maioria representantes das famílias Tyrannidae, Thraupidae, Thamnophilidae e Furnariidae. Outras ordens registradas foram Cuculiformes, Apodiformes, Trogoniformes e Piciformes. Mais de 70% das espécies ocorreram ocasionalmente nos bandos mistos. Basileuterus culicivorus, Xiphorhynchus fuscus, Sittasomus griseicapillus, Habia rubica, Philydor atricapillus e Dysithamnus mentalis obtiveram os maiores valores de FO. Basileuterus culicivorus foi a única espécie-núcleo dos bandos mistos. Os bandos não apresentaram divisão clara quanto ao estrato utilizado para forrageio. As áreas de estudo formaram dois grupos distintos quanto à composição de espécies participantes dos bandos mistos, porém, não foi verificada relação com possíveis efeitos da fragmentação florestal. Os grupos diferiram quanto à altitude, reforçando a sugestão de que os bandos mistos são reflexo do pool de espécies local.

This paper examined the composition of mixed-species bird flocks in an Atlantic Forest landscape, evaluating the vertical vegetative stratification of the mixed-species flocks, and how landscape aspects influence the mixed-species flocks composition. Eleven forest remnants were selected and characterized according to their degrees of connectivity with other fragments, and divided in three categories: 1) massive; 2) connected; and 3) isolated. It was obtained information about the intensity of loss of habitat around the remnants. It was registered 117 bird species, in an average of 8.68 species per flock. The Passeriformes accounted 88.89% of the records, the majority Tyrannidae, Thraupidae, Thamnophilidae, and Furnariidae. Other orders recorded were Cuculiformes, Apodiformes, Trogoniformes, and Piciformes. More than 70% of the species were registered as occasional mixed-flocks. Basileuterus culicivorus, Xiphorhynchus fuscus, Sittasomus griseicapillus, Habia rubica, Philydor atricapillus, and Dysithamnus mentalis obtained the highest values in occurrence frequency (OF). Only Basileuterus culicivorus was considered nuclear-species to the mixed flocks. The mixed-species bird flocks did not have a clear division among foraging stratus. The remnants formed two distinct groups to the mixed flocks species composition, but it was not checked relationship with…

▼ Non-cell-autonomous effects are the changes observed in one cell or cell-type as a consequence of the actions of another. The study of these phenomena is crucial to our understanding of how diverse cell-types function and co-operate together in complex tissues. The investigation of these effects has been greatly advanced by the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies which enable the rapid sequencing of genetic information. NGS data, such as RNA-Seq, can be analysed computationally to allow comparison of cellular transcriptomes. In practice, the study of non-cellautonomous phenomena through NGS has relied upon the physical separation of cell populations in order to be sure that derived transcriptomic data is exclusively from one cell type or the other. However these methods have been shown to introduce noise as a result of stress induced by the separation process, whilst also being susceptible to bias through contamination resulting from imperfect separation of cell populations. In this thesis, a pipeline was developed to provide an in silico means of investigating these phenomena without the need for physical separation. The pipeline takes RNA-seq reads from novel mixed-species populations - in vitro cultures where each cell type is derived from a distinct species - and sorts them according to species specific origin using quality variables from multiple genome mappings as discriminators. Our method is demonstrably robust to incorrect assignment and shows high precision and recall across species of differing genetic distances, thereby providing an alternative to flawed physical separation techniques. Downstream study of such RNA-seq samples is increasingly conducted using network methodologies. Gene co-expression networks have been demonstrated as a biologically representative means for analysing NGS data. However, many existing methods for attributing the involvement of biological function to networked datasets disregard the structural information provided within them. In this thesis, I build upon an existing approach to use information theoretic entropy as a method for network-based enrichment and thereby demonstrate that the integration of network edge information can be used to more reliably infer biological pathway involvement. Our method out-performs the original whilst correcting for pathway-size bias. Lastly, the utility of the methods presented in this thesis was demonstrated through application to the study of two different phenomena: the induction of neural activity on co-cultures of neurons with astrocytes and the stimulation of microglia by LPS on co-cultures of microglia, neurons and astrocytes, by investigating cell-type specific involvement of biological pathways.

▼ Network analysis has been applied in many ecological and behavioral contexts to investigate systems of complex interactions. Its broad applicability is due in part to the generality of what constitutes a network—a set of objects (referred to as nodes) that are linked by some sort of connection (termed edges). Until recently, however, network analyses were largely descriptive in nature, which limited their utility. Statistical advances now allow networks to be modeled, which has expanded the capabilities of network analysis for hypothesis testing. One such advance is exponential random graph models (ERGMs). Developed for the social sciences, ERGMs analyze how network structures (i.e., configurations of edges) and attributes of nodes and edges affect the formation of edges. This allows practitioners to explore how different mechanisms shape networks of interest. In this dissertation, we introduce ERGMs to ecologists and animal behaviorists, highlight their advantages and applications, and demonstrate some of their uses in a series of case studies of social foraging dynamics in a community of songbirds. Using radio frequency identification technology, we monitored behavior at bird feeders in east-central Illinois over a two-year period to develop a unique dataset of foraging activity and social interactions. Data were then used to build networks that were analyzed using ERGMs in the following chapters. In chapter 2, we explored how urbanization affects species interactions within social foraging networks at bird feeders. Anthropogenic change reduces species richness and size of mixed-species foraging flocks, so we expected urbanization would reduce the number of species at feeders and simplify social foraging network structure. Though species richness declined with urbanization, complexity of social foraging networks did not. Interspecific foraging declined as species that facilitate the formation of mixed-species foraging flocks were extirpated by urbanization, but reductions in interspecific foraging were compensated for by increases in intraspecific foraging among introduced species. This is the first study to demonstrate how urbanization shapes interactions in mixed-species foraging assemblages. In chapter 3, we examined the role of interspecific interactions in shaping daily patterns of foraging activity of small birds in temperate winters. Theoretical investigations of this system are a classic case of modeling tradeoffs—in this instance between the risks of starvation and predation. However, these models do not account for interspecific variation in predator behavior or prey responses, though interactions among prey and between predators and prey are known to affect foraging behavior. We did not observe any influence of interspecific social foraging on temporal feeding patterns, but species varied in terms of daily foraging activity. We hypothesized that differences in vulnerability to predation due to variation in species-specific predator/prey relationships produced these patterns. In chapter 4, we… Advisors/Committee Members: Miller, James R. (advisor), Miller, James R. (Committee Chair), Garber, Paul A. (committee member), Ward, Michael P.

▼ Environmental biofilms typically consist of mixed-species communities exhibiting complex inter- and intra-species synergistic/antagonistic interactions. Intense competition in aquatic systems is driven by nutrient and space limitation. Bacterial biofilm members cooperate under such conditions to resist environmental perturbations, processes that subsequently determine community composition. This thesis reports on environmental bacterial screens for amensal/antagonistic metabolites against protozoa and nematodes. Further, defined mixed-species model communities isolated from the surface of the green alga Ulva australis were tested for their protozoan predation response under varying nutrient conditions.Biofilms exhibited higher levels of antiprotozoal and anthelmintic activity than their planktonic counterparts. Biofilm inhibitory activities were highly diverse, commonly targeting either nematodes or protozoa, but rarely targeting both with broad-spectrum activity. Predation resistance was explored using a model marine four-species community. Protozoan grazers of different feeding types were used on different-stage biofilms; Rhynchomonas nasuta (early-stage), Tetrahymena pyriformis and Acanthamoeba castellanii (intermediate- and late-stage). As single-species biofilms, all four species displayed varying levels of grazing. All were susceptible to R. nasuta whereas only Dokdonia donghaensis and Acinetobacter lwoffii were vulnerable to T. pyriformis. A. castellanii selectively preferred Shewanella japonica and A. lwoffii.Mixed-species biofilms facilitated synergistic and antagonistic interactions between consortia members. R. nasuta selectively preferred A. lwoffii, resulting in a ‘reverse grazer’ effect, allowing other members to benefit. T. pyriformis preferred grazing on D. donghaensis. The mixed-species community was resistant to A. castellanii grazing and thus commensal to D. donghaensis and A. lwoffii.Under high nutrient conditions, both three- and four-species biofilms resisted predation. By comparison, low nutrient conditions increased both mixed- and single-species biofilms susceptibility to A. castellanii grazing. Under low nutrient conditions, the removal of Microbacterium phyllosphaerae from the four-species consortium destabilized the community. Under low carbon conditions, S. japonicaiidemonstrated increased grazing susceptibility, possibly due to resource reallocation from defence to growth/maintenance.Bacterial grazing resistance depends on survival strategies, e.g. the ability to exploit nutrients and the trade-off between growth and defence. The differential levels of grazing resistance of both mixed- and single-species consortia, resulting from ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ factors, affected community structure and composition. Successful application of the carbon:nutrient balance hypothesis to S. japonica's defence strategy, highlights the potential for eukaryotic theories as predictive models for microbial systems.

▼ One of the main challenges in designing large scale quantum processors is connecting separated qubits. In this thesis, we explore new opportunities that mesoscopic many-body systems provide for creating quantum correlation between isolated quantum systems. In particular, we study entangling two non-interacting qubits through an intermediate mesoscopic system consisting of identical two-level systems. Two uncoupled qubits can be entangled either by projectively measuring a joint property of them or by creating an indirect interaction between them. The focus of this thesis is on procedures that are based on joint measurement on the qubits. We propose a new method for entangling two non-interacting qubits by measuring their parity indirectly through an intermediate mesoscopic system. Indirect joint measurement scheme benefits from coherent magnification of the target qubits’ state in the collective state of the mesoscopic system; such that a low-resolution measurement on the mesoscopic system suffices to prepare post-selected entanglement on the target qubits. The protocol is designed to require only global control and course-grained collective measurement of the mesoscopic system along with local interactions between the target qubits and mesoscopic system. A generalization of the method measures the hamming weight of the qubits’ state and probabilistically produces an entangled state by post-selecting on hamming weight one. Our technique provides a new design element that can be integrated into quantum processor architectures and quantum measurement devices. We quantify the resources required for implementing the indirect joint measurement technique when the intermediate mesoscopic system consists of spin-1/2 particles with internal dipolar coupling. A mesoscopic spin system consisting of two non-interacting halves, each coupled to one of the target qubits is proved to provide a helpful geometry that allows implementing the coherent magnification process with experimentally available control tools. We show that the requirements on the amplified state of the target qubits and the mesoscopic spin system perfectly maps to the specifications of micro-macro entanglement between each target qubit and its nearby half of the mesoscopic spin system. In the light of this equivalence, the effects of experimental imperfections are explored; in particular, bipartite entanglement between the target qubits is shown to be robust to imperfect preparation of the mesoscopic spin system. Our analysis provides a new approach for using an intermediate spin system for connecting separated qubits. It also opens a new path in exploring entanglement between microscopic and mesoscopic spin systems.

2001 skedde ett kraftigt utbrott av Gremeniella abietina (Lagerb.) M. Morelet i området Bergvik, Dalarna. Skogsägarna var tvungna att avverka kraftigt i deras tallbestånd som respons på detta. I de objekt som återplanterades planterades det nya artsammansättningar än vad som planterats tidigare, gran och blandbestånd av gran och tall. I denna studie jämfördes och inventerades medelhöjderna på de återplanterade objektens träd för att skatta arternas framgång i de olika ståndorterna. Gran verkade vara mest lämpat eftersom den växte signifikant bättre än vad tillväxtekvationerna hade förutspått. Det påträffades även en positiv blandskogseffekt på trädens medelhöjd i provytorna. Provytor med högre antal arter, hade gran och tall med högre medelhöjd än artfattigare provytor. Provytor med tre arter, björk gran och tall hade högre tillväxt än provytor med endast tall och gran. Graden av inblandning i hela objektet hade inte någon signifikant effekt på medelhöjden. Detta tyder på att den spatiella artsammansättningen har större betydelse för de positiva effekterna av blandskog än artsammansättningen inom ståndorten i sin helhet. Detta antas vara på grund av nisch-komplementering och facilitering, möjligtvis via mykorrhiza interaktion. En annan möjlig förklaring är den minskade intra-specifika konkurrensen när individer av samma art är planterade med större avstånd sinsemellan. Troligtvis beror det på en nischuppdelning som tillåter de olika trädarterna att utnyttja markens tillgångar effektivare. Detta indikerar att småskalig artsammansättning är av vikt för tillväxten hos gran och tall.

In 2001 there was a serious outbreak of Gremmeniella abietina (Lagerb.) M. Morelet in the municipality of Bergvik in Dalarna, Sweden. The forest owners were forced to effectively cut their Pine stands in an attempt to halt the onslaught of the fungus. In the areas where new trees were planted after the cuttings, different compositions of species were implemented. Instead of only Pine (Pinus sylvestris), most of the new plantations consisted of spruce (Picea abies) or mixtures of the two species. In this study the average height of these replanted trees was measured to assess the success that the different species had in the different replanted areas. Spruce seemed to be the species that was best adapted to the local area because it grew significantly higher then what had been predicted. A positive effect of mixed-stands was also observed. The sample areas with three species, pine, spruce and birch (Betula pendula) had a higher average height then the sample areas that contained less species. The degree of mixture in the plantation as a whole had no significant effect on tree height. This implies that the spatial composition of species is of bigger importance then the quota of different species in the whole plantation. This could be explained by niche-complementation and by facilitation, probably via interactions between mykorrhiza. Intra-specific competition is another…

▼ Vegetative species diversity is under threat from environmental pressures, particularly climate change. As the impacts of climate change vary from place to place, response of vegetative species diversity to a changing climate also vary depending on geographical location. The response of vegetative species diversity under dry conditions in Zimbabwe is not well known. This study assessed the impact of climate change on vegetative species diversity under semiarid conditions of Masvingo province in Zimbabwe. This was achieved by determining climate change trends over a period of forty years (1974-2014), and examining the relationship between vegetative species diversity and spatially interpolated climate data. The absence of historical diversity data prompted the use of remote sensing to enable the assessment of spatial and temporal changes. Thus, the Normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) was used to assess vegetative species diversity changes after establishing a positive relationship between species diversity and NDVI. The mixed methods research design was used as the strategy of inquiry. The non-aligned block sampling design was used as the sampling framework from which 198 sampling points were identified. Meteorological data obtained from Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department (ZMSD) and the National Climate Data Centre (NCDC) were used for climate change analysis. Data collected through image analysis, direct observations, questionnaire surveys and interviews were used to assess the impact of climate change on vegetative species diversity. Results indicate that all temperature and precipitation variables have significant (p<0.05) trends over the period under study. However, the trend for seasonal total precipitation was not significant but declining. The significant trends indicate that climate change occurred over the period under study. 93% of the respondents confirmed having experienced the climate change phenomenon. Results also show a significant relationship between climate elements (precipitation and temperature) and vegetative species diversity represented by Shannon Weaver Index (H). More so, there is a positive relationship between NDVI and H. Vegetative species diversity represented by NDVI decreased over the period under review. The results indicate that climate change has contributed to the decrease of vegetative species diversity in Masvingo province, thus it is a force behind many other factors contributing to biodiversity loss.

Inter-specific associations of birds are complex social phenomena, frequently detected and often stable over time and space. So far, the social structure of these associations has been largely deduced from subjective assessments in the field or by counting the number of inter-specific encounters at the whole-group level, without considering changes to individual pairwise interactions. Here, we look for evidence of non-random association between pairs of bird species, delimit groups of more strongly associated species and examine differences in social structure between old growth and secondary forest habitat. We used records of bird species detection from mist-netting capture and from acoustic recordings to identify pairwise associations that were detected more frequently than expected under a null distribution, and compared the strength of these associations between old-growth and secondary forest Amazonian tropical forest. We also used the pairwise strength associations to visualize the social network structure and its changes between habitat types. We found many strongly positive interactions between species, but no evidence of repulsion. Network analyses revealed several modules of species that broadly agree with the subjective groupings described in the ornithological literature. Furthermore, both network structure and association strength changed drastically with habitat disturbance, with the formation of a few new associations but a general trend towards the breaking of associations between species. Our results show that social grouping in birds is real and may be strongly affected by habitat degradation, suggesting that the stability of the associations is threatened by anthropogenic disturbance.

Até hoje, a estrutura social dessas espécies foi descrita a partir de estudos subjetivos de campo ou a partir de compilações do número e intensidade das interações a nível de todo o grupo, sem considerar as interações par-a-par individualmente. Nossos objetivos foram buscar evidências de associações não-randômicas entre pares de espécies de aves, delimitar os grupos a partir das espécies com as associações mais fortes e verificar se há diferenças na estrutura social entre os habitat de floresta primária e secundária. Utilizamos dados de ocorrência das espécies coletados a partir de redes de neblina e gravação de vocalizações para identificar pares de espécies que foram co-detectadas mais frequentemente do que o esperado a partir do modelo nulo e compararamos a força dessa interação entre as florestas tropicais primária e secundária Amazônicas. Nós também utilizamos as associações par-a-par para construir as redes de interação social e suas mudanças entre os tipos de habitat. Nós encontramos muitas interações positivas fortes entre as espécies, mas nenhuma evidência de repulsão. As análises das redes de interação revelaram vários grupos de espécies que corroboram com grupos ecológios descritos na literatura. Além disso,…

▼ Bare-root Nuttall oak, Shumard oak, and swamp chestnut oak seedlings were planted on former agricultural fields in Mississippi to evaluate growth and survival following treatment by different combinations of mechanical site preparation and pre-emergent Oust XP® applications. Mechanical treatments included: (1) controls, (2) subsoiling treatment, (3) bedding treatment, and (4) combination plowing. Pre-emergent Oust XP® treatments included: (1) one-year Oust XP® applications and (2) two-year Oust XP® applications. Evaluations and measurements were performed over the course of three years. Results within this dissertation should be considered in the context of high quality former agricultural sites with silt loam soils. Seedling height and GLD increased each growing season. Height and GLD of seedlings were greater in bedded and combination plowed areas compared to control and subsoiled areas. Height and GLD were not different by Oust XP® application. However, seedling survival in two-year Oust XP® application areas was reduced compared to one-year Oust XP® application areas. Nuttall oak seedlings planted in bedded and combination plowed areas exhibited greater stem biomass compared to those planted in control or subsoiled areas. Seedlings planted in two-year Oust XP® areas exhibited greater stem and root biomass compared to those planted in areas receiving the one-year treatment. Better growth and biomass production in bedded and combination plowed areas would promote their use for site preparation on similar sites. While survival was lower in two-year Oust XP® treatment areas compared to one-year treatment areas, the difference would not warrant change in management strategy. Additionally, woody biomass was much greater in two-year Oust XP® areas. Thus, if cost is not prohibitive, treatment with two years of Oust XP® is recommended. The objective of the mixed species study was to establish baseline growth and survival data for mixed Nuttall oak and green ash plantations on former agricultural areas. Height and GLD for both species increased each growing season. Third-year survival was excellent at 96.0 percent. In conclusion, the mixture performed satisfactorily. Growth and survival were excellent, which indicates this mixture would be useful in afforesting similar former agriculture sites. Advisors/Committee Members: Andrew W. Ezell (chair), Dennis Rowe (committee member), Emily Schultz (committee member), John D. Hodges (committee member), Brian Roy Lockhart (committee member).

▼ The processes driving distribution and abundance patterns of highly migratory marine species, such as filter-feeding sharks, remain largely unexplained. The whale shark (Rhincodon typus Smith 1828) is a filter-feeding chondrichthyan that can reach > 18 m in total length, making it the largest extant fish species. Its geographic range has been defined within all tropical and warm temperate waters around the globe. However, even though mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA studies have revealed low genetic differentiation among the three major ocean basins, most studies of the species are focussed on the scale of single aggregations. Our understanding of the species’ ecology is therefore based on only a small proportion of its life stages, such that we cannot yet adequately explain its biology and movement patterns (Chapter I). I present a worldwide conceptual model of possible whale shark migration routes, while suggesting a novel perspective for quantifying the species‘ behaviour and ecology. This model can be used to trim the hypotheses related to whale shark movements and aggregation timings, thereby isolating possible mating and breeding areas that are currently unknown (Chapter II). In the next chapter, I quantify the seasonal suitable habitat availability in the Indian Ocean (ocean basin-scale study) by applying generalised linear, spatial mixed-effects and maximum entropy models to produce maps of whale shark habitat suitability (Chapter III). I then assess the inter-annual variation in known whale shark occurrences to unearth temporal trends in a large area of the Indian Ocean. The results from the Indian Ocean suggest both temporal and spatial variability in the whale sharks occurrence (Chapter IV). Therefore, I applied the same analysis to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans using similar broad-scale datasets. While the results for the Pacific Ocean were inconclusive with respect to temporal trends, in the Atlantic Ocean I found preliminary evidence for a cyclic regularity in whale shark occurrence (Chapter V). In Chapter VI, I build a model to predict global whale shark habitat suitability for the present, as well as within a climate change scenario for 2070. Finally, Chapter VII provides a general discussion of the work developed within this thesis and presents ideas for future research.

▼ Landscape modification is leaving an irrevocable scar on the planet, most notably through habitat fragmentation. Fragmented landscapes are often unable to support communities that once inhabited them, leading to unprecedented rates of global biodiversity loss. As a result, substantial research effort focuses on investigating the drivers of species' responses to habitat fragmentation, usually for one or a few species at select locations. This dissertation expands upon previous research in order to broaden understanding of the determinants of diversity patterns in fragmented landscapes. I modeled variation in among fragment butterfly diversity for entire communities, using both environmental attributes and species traits as predictors. I then compared models across three, widely separated fragmented landscapes. I found that patch area and water availability had consistent influences on butterfly diversity patterns; these factors may warrant inclusion into management policies for fragmented landscapes worldwide. Other predictors, e.g., butterfly wing length, had variable influences on diversity patterns, although results revealed similarities between certain study areas. For example, habitat heterogeneity influenced diversity patterns similarly in two study areas, possibly due to similarities in ecological and/or climatic characteristics (e.g., drought-prone summers). Furthermore, species traits played important, albeit inconsistent, roles in driving butterfly diversity patterns; this pattern also potentially driven by among location ecological and/or climatic conditions. In all, this integrative data reuse analysis demonstrated patterns that may provide crucial information for better understanding wide-spread species responses to habitat fragmentation. The final component of this dissertation was an exploration of questions that arose from the data reuse strategy employed: how different are models constructed from datasets obtained via disparate levels of survey effort, and what implications does this have for data reuse analyses. I constructed a new model using data collected via 2/3 of the full sampling effort for one dataset. The model was almost identical to that constructed from the full dataset, and the use of this `reduced sampling effort' dataset would thus have had negligible impact on previous results. This work provides insight into the sensitivity of downstream analyses to variation in survey methods, and substantiates the validity of analyses reusing datasets collected by different researchers.

▼ Despite over a century of research, malaria parasites (Plasmodium) still remain a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In recent years, the application of theoretical principles from ecology and evolutionary biology to the study of these parasites has started to provide insight into variety of fundamental subjects from the evolution of virulence to the facultative strategies (i.e. phenotypic plasticity) that parasites use to maximize their transmission. It is now becoming increasingly clear that to understand and predict population level patterns of virulence and transmission, the processes that occur at the between-host level must be studied in light of the interactions that happen within hosts (between parasites and between parasites and hosts). In this thesis I combine concepts from evolutionary biology and ecology with tools from molecular and cellular biology and evolutionary genetics, which allow me to study rodent malaria parasites at both evolutionary and ecological timescales. The work I present in this thesis has the following four components: 1. Phylogenetics (chapter 2): I applied recently developed phylogenetic methods to a large DNA sequence dataset that I generated, to provide a better understanding of the phylogeny of rodent malaria parasites and investigate how selection has shaped their genomes. I show that all rodent malaria subspecies can be considered species, provide the first time line for the evolution of this group of parasites and demonstrate that most loci are under purifying selection. 2. Hybridization and reproductive isolation (chapter 3): I show that hybridization between two rodent malaria parasites (P. berghei and P. yoelii) can occur, but only occurs at high levels when one of two proteins (P230 or P48/45) is absent from the surface of female gametes, which indicates that these proteins are involved in gamete recognition. I find that P230, P48/45 and P47 (a possible interaction partner) are evolving under positive selection, a feature often observed in gamete recognition proteins of other taxa. Finally, I show that the fertilization success of P. berghei is reduced in the presence of P. yoelii, but not vice-versa, which indicates asymmetric reproductive interference. 3. Sex allocation (chapter 4): I carry the first test of sex allocation’s assumption that immunity impacts on the fertility of Plasmodium male gametocytes/gametes more than on the fertility of females. I show that while the fertility of both males and females is equally affected, males are affected during gametogenesis and females are mostly affected through gamete dysfunction (i.e. gametes can mate but zygotes fail to develop), which is in agreement with the assumptions of theory. In collaboration, I incorporate these effects into sex allocation theory and predict that malaria parasites can minimize the effects of factors that kill gametocytes/gametes by adjusting their sex ratios. On the other hand sex ratio adjustment cannot compensate for gamete dysfunction or zygote death. These results have applied…

▼ With shifting preferences of consumers towards healthier food, organic food demand has been on the rise for the past two decades. This increased demand has created an opportunity for farmers to shift from conventional to organic production. However, there are risks and uncertainties associated with organic farming. The management of an organic farm in the absence of organic-based disease and pest suppressing strategies constrains farmers from adopting organic vegetable production. The use of cover crops to control soil-borne diseases and suppress weeds and other pests has increased because of its sustainable and environmental friendly nature. This study of the economic impact of the cover crops on organic tomato production in the three states Ohio, New York, and Maryland showed mixed results. In Maryland, mixed forage radish and hairy vetch was projected to have a net present value over 15 years that was 1.53 million higher than single species hairy vetch, assuming maximum adoption level of 50 percent. In New York, mixed rye and turnip gave the higher return with a net present value of 2.61 million. In Ohio, the highest projected return was from mixed hay compared to hairy vetch with a net present value of 3.12 million when used without adding compost amendments. In Maryland and New York when bare ground was also used as a control, only mixed forage radish and hairy vetch in Maryland produced better returns compared to bare ground. A probit regression assessing the factors affecting the decision to adopt mixed species green manure technology indicated that farmer experiences in organic production, farmer age, access to the internet access, and farmers’ perceptions about the benefits of using mixed species green manures were significant factors. Each variables and factors except age had a positive influence. Similarly, probit results for microbial inoculants indicated that education, gender, and access to the internet were significant determinants, and had a negative effect on the probability of adoption. Access to the internet was significant for both mixed species green manures and microbial inoculants but with opposite sign, positive for mixed species green manures and negative for microbial inoculants.

▼ Biological invasions are reportedly one of the major contributory factors to biodiversity loss worldwide. The impacts of invasive alien plant (IAP) species on native communities are widely documented in the scientific literature, however, there is still a lack of detailed information on their impacts within the most vulnerable habitats. Riparian habitats are highly dynamic systems and naturally disturbed, making them particularly vulnerable to invasion. Climate change, directly or indirectly, is also predicted to adversely impact river systems, which may subsequently alter invasion rates and the impacts of IAPs. However, the interactions between climate and IAPs and their combined effects on vegetation have rarely been examined. To address these knowledge gaps, this thesis investigates: (1) the role of environmental variables, such as sediment loading or climate-related changes to river flow regime, on the abundance of IAPs within riparian zones; (2) how variation in IAP abundance impacts native vegetation, relative to the effects of native dominant plant species and (3) some of the mechanisms underlying the effects of IAPs in riparian habitats. Historic and recent field survey data were used to investigate changes in riparian vegetation on British rivers during the last 20 years. Analyses indicate that IAPs had a negative but small effect on native plant diversity. Overall, changes in land use and differences in flow regime between recording periods were the most important predictors of plant community change. Specifically, IAPs had a greater probability of being present along lowland rivers that experienced increased frequency of high flow events. On a local scale across rivers in Scotland, the abundance of IAPs was constrained by greater soil moisture in summer, whilst greater abundance was associated with tree-lined banks. Both native dominant species and IAPs negatively affected subordinate species abundance to a greater extent than species richness, although this effect varied spatially with bank elevation. Artificial turf mats were used to quantify viable propagules within riverine sediment deposited over-winter along invaded riverbanks. The data indicate that there is a legacy effect of IAP abundance, with the most invaded sites being associated with higher sediment loading the following year, though, contrary to the general pattern, 12 sediment associated propagules were scarcer at invaded sites. Moreover, lower above-ground native diversity was associated with sites which had been previously invaded. Plant species composition in the propagule bank and above-ground vegetation were highly dissimilar, particularly closest to the water’s edge at highly invaded sites. This suggests that mono-specific stands of IAPs proliferate best under less disturbed environmental conditions, although fluvial disturbance events may be required to create opportunities for initial establishment. The propagule bank contributed very little to the above-ground vegetation, nor did it limit invasion, suggesting that above-ground…

▼ FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array)-based custom reconfigurable computing machines have established themselves as low-cost and low-risk alternatives to ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) implementations and general-purpose microprocessors in accelerating a wide range of computation-intensive applications. Most often they are <i>Application Specific Programmable Circuiits</i> (ASPCs), which are developer programmable instead of user programmable. The major disadvantages of ASPCs are minimal programmability, and significant time and energy overheads caused by required hardware reconfiguration when the problem size outnumbers the available reconfigurable resources; these problems are expected to become more serious with increases in the FPGA chip size. On the other hand, dominant high-performance computing systems, such as PC clusters and SMPs (Symmetric Multiprocessors), suffer from high communication latencies and/or scalability problems. This research introduces low-cost, user-programmable and reconfigurable <i>MultiProcessor-on-a-Programmable-Chip</i> (MPoPC) systems for high-performance, low-cost computing. It also proposes a relevant resource management framework that deals with performance, power consumption and energy issues. These semi-customized systems reduce significantly runtime device reconfiguration by employing userprogrammable processing elements that are reusable for different tasks in large, complex applications. For the sake of illustration, two different types of MPoPCs with hardware FPUs (floating-point units) are designed and implemented for credible performance evaluation and modeling: the coarse-grain MIMD (Multiple-Instruction, Multiple-Data) CG-MPoPC machine based on a processor IP (Intellectual Property) core and the mixed-mode (MIMD, SIMD or M-SIMD) variant-grain HERA (HEterogeneous Reconfigurable Architecture) machine. In addition to alleviating the above difficulties, MPoPCs can offer several performance and energy advantages to our data-parallel applications when compared to ASPCs; they are simpler and more scalable, and have less verification time and cost. Various common computation-intensive benchmark algorithms, such as matrix-matrix multiplication (MMM) and LU factorization, are studied and their parallel solutions are shown for the two MPoPCs. The performance is evaluated with large sparse real-world matrices primarily from power engineering. We expect even further performance gains on MPoPCs in the near future by employing ever improving FPGAs. The innovative nature of this work has the potential to guide research in this arising field of high-performance, low-cost reconfigurable computing. The largest advantage of reconfigurable logic lies in its large degree of hardware customization and reconfiguration which allows reusing the resources to match the computation and communication needs of applications. Therefore, a major effort in the presented design methodology for mixed-mode MPoPCs, like HERA, is devoted to effective resource management.
