▼ Maize is a major staple food crop in Sub-Saharan Africa and it plays a vital role in the livelihoods of small-scale and resource-limited farmers. The demand for maize is high and is also expected to increase due to the increasing population. Grain yield per unit area can be increased by increasing the plant population density. In this regard, the new improved maize varieties should be richly endowed with high and enhanced frequency of genes that confers high yield under varying plant population density stress conditions. The objective of this study was to conduct a genetic analysis of maize hybrids derived from temperate by tropical germplasm under low and high plant population density stress in order to identify hybrids that combine high yield, earliness and tolerance to high plant population density stress as well as the breeding strategy for these essential traits. New maize inbred lines derived from tropical by temperate populations were selected based on observation trials for yield potential and prolificacy to ensure adaptation. These were used to generate hybrids using two different testers with different genetic attributes. The hybrids were planted in four environments; Ukulinga1 (Env-1), Cedara (Env-2), Dundee (Env-4) and Ukulinga 2 (Env-3) in two replications. One of these environments (Ukulinga 2), had a high plant population density. Data was collected on various agronomic traits that include grain yield, plant height, ear height, days to anthesis, ear position, number of ears per plant, anthesis-silking interval, grain moisture content, root and stem lodging, number of tassel branches, number of leaves above the cob, days to cob dryness and number of plants per row. Analysis of variance for single sites showed that hybrids were significantly different on the traits studied, and across environments (low and high plant population densities). This enabled the genotype plus genotype by environment biplots to be used in identifying varieties suitable for given environments as well as stable and high yielding varieties. The line by tester analysis of variance showed that the general combining ability effects of the lines were significant (P<0.05) and that narrow sense heritability was low for grain yield but higher for other traits. The results of this study identified hybrids (and their inbred lines) that performed better under high plant population density stress and the traits associated with high yield under high and low plant population densities across different genetic backgrounds. Superior, stable and high yielding hybrids were selected and hybrids 15XH214, 15XH215 and 15XH121 were the most adaptable genotypes across environments, out-competing the highest yielding commercial hybrids such as PAN6Q345BC and BG5285 under high stress conditions. With regards to the genetic gain, the study revealed 16.70 % and 22.70 % genetic gain of grain yield under both Tester 9 (Testers A) and DTAB32 (Tester B), respectively, which was displayed by the high-yielding experimental hybrids. The studies also revealed high… Advisors/Committee Members: Derera, John. (advisor), Gasura, Edmore. (advisor).

▼ Continental waterfowl population declines in the early 1980s led to the development and implementation of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. The plan identified wetland and grassland losses in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of Canada and the United States as the major causes of low continental duck populations. North-central Montana is the only remaining PPR area in the United States without a ground-based annual survey to monitor breeding duck populations and quantify breeding duck habitat. The purpose of this study was to establish an annual breeding duck survey in north-central Montana to 1) develop species-specific breeding pair predictive models, and 2) apply the models to estimate the density and distribution of breeding ducks and identify priority areas for conservation actions. 1969 indicated breeding duck pairs were observed on approximately 700 wetland basins in 2008 and 2009. A competing model analysis was used to identify local- and landscape-scale habitat characteristics to predict breeding duck pairs on wetland basins. The five most commonly observed species were modeled separately; those species were mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), northern pintails (A. acuta), gadwall (A. strepera ), northern shoveler (A. clypeata) and blue-winged teal (A. discors). At the local scale, wetland basin area, the square root transformation of wetland basin area and wetland basin class were important predictors for all species. Northern pintail, gadwall and blue-winged teal exhibited a strong location effect, occurring more in the northern and eastern portions of the study area. At the landscape scale, the proportion of agricultural lands surrounding a sample basin was associated with the greater abundance of all species. Northern pintail and blue-winged teal breeding pair abundance increased when the proportion of seasonal and semipermanent basin wetland surface area in the landscape around sample basin decreased. Results from this study provide land managers with initial information on where breeding waterfowl are settling across the PPR landscape of north-central Montana. The continuation of this research for several more breeding seasons will enable conservation partners to efficiently target important breeding waterfowl habitat for conservation actions.

▼ This study utilized historical population statistics data and related reports to investigate the population distribution and transition trend of Kaohsiung Main Urban Area. There were four purposes of this study; firstly to understand the current population distribution pattern of Kaohsiung Main Urban Area, secondly to investigate the change trend of Kaohsiung Main Urban Area in the past 36 years, thirdly using Kaohsiung Main Urban Area population data to verify the population density model and to examine the correspondence with the current society, and fourthly to explore the impact of the establishment of Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit System and Taiwan High Speed Rail to the transition and distribution of population in Kaohsiung Main Urban Area. This study employed the population statistical database from year 1972 to 2007, and divided the Kaohsiung metropolitan area into 32 sub-divisions. The population data was re-organized accordingly in order to perform the systematic analyses and exploration in making the understanding of the current population status and transition process. Furthermore, employing the population data of Kaohsiung metropolitan area, the validation of negative exponential model and quadratic exponential model, the population model proposed by Clark and Newling respectively 58 year ago, were performed to verify the applicability of the theories to modern society. In addition, this study also performed the exploration of population transition and distribution in Kaohsiung metropolitan area during the construction period of Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit System and Taiwan High Speed Rail and could be of reference to urban planning and development in the future. This study found that both Clark and Newlingâs population model still has high interpretation capability after 58 years later. The Kaohsiung metropolitan area population distribution model and trend forecast proposed by Ho in 1991 is still true. However, because of the slow down in overall development trend of Taiwan, the transition trend of Kaohsiung metropolitan also mitigated. Besides, due to the trend mitigation, the volcano peak phenomenon which was mentioned in the literature review will be postponed and expected to happen in year 2018.

▼ River otter (Lontra canadensis) populations in Pennsylvania experienced a range reduction and subsequent expansion of the remnant population, as well as re-colonization of parts of the state through reintroduction efforts and expansion of neighboring populations. There are currently no estimates of population size or densities for river otter populations in Pennsylvania, and large-scale monitoring efforts are hampered by the elusive behavior of river otter. Non-invasive genetic sampling has been used to survey river otter populations, but given the river otter’s unique distribution across the landscape, estimation of population size and densities has been limited to linear habitats in river systems or along coastlines. Spatial capture-recapture models incorporate spatial information from captures into the estimation process, and estimates are more explicitly linked to the area in which observations occur. I analyzed the efficacy of non-invasive genetic sampling to identify individual river otter and I used spatial capture-recapture models to estimate river otter population size and density, and in northeastern Pennsylvania. I surveyed nine counties in northeastern Pennsylvania, opportunistically collecting samples from latrine sites on public and private land. Latrines were visited on three to four occasions at 6–14 day intervals, clearing latrines after each visit, in a capture-recapture framework. I amplified DNA extracted from the samples at ten microsatellite markers, to generate a genotype for each sample. I matched genotypes using program CERVUS to identify individuals. My first analysis compared amplification success rates and error rates for samples of different type and time of environmental exposure or freshness, and compared my amplification success rates to other studies. Previous studies on river otter had lower genotyping success rates than those for other otter species, and did not follow a common sampling protocol despite laboratory studies for the river otter and recommendations from field studies on other otter species. My amplification success rates were most comparable to those from studies on otter species conducted in the winter with samples collected in a storage buffer. I observed similar patterns of success rates as other studies for different sample types and samples classified for different categories related to lengths of environmental exposure, but had higher success rates for every category. Amplification error rates for the different sample types and environmental exposure categories were not reported in the literature, but I included them in the study as another measure of sample quality and to better inform future studies. The importance of comparing success rates and error rates is to better inform future studies on the preferred sampling protocol, and give measures for the amount of effort necessary for studies looking to use non-invasive genetic sampling to identify individual river otter for population analyses. To estimate population size and density in spatial… Advisors/Committee Members: William David Walter, Thesis Advisor/Co-Advisor, David Miller, Thesis Advisor/Co-Advisor, Cassandra Michaela Miller Butterworth, Thesis Advisor/Co-Advisor.

▼ Given the white-tailed deer’s (Odocoileus virginianus; deer) popularity and potentially negative impact on forested systems; Arnold Air Force Base (AAFB) in Tullahoma, Tennessee, USA has made minimizing negative deer impacts on biodiversity a priority. To address these management issues, I initiated a study on AAFB to investigate deer survey techniques and the effects of deer density on forage availability across vegetative communities. Current use of infrared-triggered cameras (camera) for estimating deer populations does not provide a measure of precision critical for density estimation. I conducted a camera survey for deer in Wildlife Management Area (WMA) Units 1 and 2 at AAFB, August 2010 and used Program DENSITY to fit a spatial detection function of capture-recapture (spatial modeling) data from the camera surveys of bucks. Spatial modeling can provide reliable estimates of buck density and facilitate our understanding of biases associated with camera surveys for deer. I compared population and precision estimates from spotlight, ground thermal infrared imaging (ground imaging), and aerial vertical-looking infrared (aerial imaging) surveys in the Security Area (SA) of AAFB, January–February 2010. All 3 techniques provided a precise estimate of deer density. However, the high cost of ground imaging does not justify its use. I also found the potential of road bias in distance sampling to invalidate the technique, unless random transects representative of the study area can be applied. Aerial imaging is less susceptible to road bias, but use should be restricted to large areas where high cost can be justified. I evaluated the effects of 2 deer densities on forage availability and quality within 4 vegetative communities on WMA Units 1 and 2, and the SA of AAFB 2010. Forage availability was consistently greater during summer verses winter and within middle-aged and young pine stands at the low deer density site versus the high deer density site. Both crude protein and total digestible nutrient values were similar regardless of deer density. I recommend managers consider implementing management practices that would reduce deer density and increase forage availability when forage availability beings to decline and deer density estimates approach levels seen detrimental in literature.

Биологија - Морфологија, систематика и филогенија животиња / Biology - Morphology, Systematics and Phylogeny of Animals

Бела кања Neophron percnopterus (Aves: Accipitridae) је глобално угрожени, мали, опортунистички, моногамни, углавном солитарни и дугоживећи лешинар, распрострањен у јужним деловима Европе, Блиског Истока, Кавказа, централне Азије, Индије, и северне Африке, са светском популацијом од 13000-41000 адултних јединки. Популација у Европи броји око 3300-5050 парова. Глобална популација је забележила драматични пад, интензиван и у Европи, и већ је потпуно нестала са неких делова Балкана. У Европи се антропогени фактори, нарочито тровање, уништавање станишта, редукција извора хране и узнемиравање, сматрају за најозбиљније факторе угрожавања. Македонска популација белих кања је пала за око 86% у задње три декаде, и за безмало 50% током задњих 10 година, да би бројала само око 21 пар на почетку 2012. године. Зато, циљеви овог рада су: да се прикаже рецентна дистрибуција беле кање у Републици Македонији, да се анализира тренд популације и промене у просторној дистрибуцији парова и њихова густина гнежђења, да увид у репродуктивне параметре врсте, идентификују најзначајнији фактори за пад популације уз анализу фактора који утичу на опстанак територија и на праметре гнежђења. Исто тако, у циљу ефетивне заштите врсте, одређује се највероватна судбине популације беле кање у Македонији, утврђује се њен национални статус угрожености, и идентификују се најбоље мере заштите за очување ове врсте. Теренска истраживања су вршена у периоду 2003. - 2011. године, узимајући територију као јединицу посматрања да би се одредила величина и тренд популације. Просторне анализе су рађење у GIS-у, коришћењем χ2 за одређивање фрекфенције дистрибуције, G-статистике као меру равномерности дистрибуције гнезда и Mann-Whitney U-test за одређивање значајности тих промена, уз прорачунавање густине гнежђења. Гнездећи параметри (продуктивност популације, успех гнежђења и стопа пролетавања) су били праћени у периоду 2006. – 2011., а поређења између парова и година су урађена једнофакторском ANOVA-ом...

▼ In the Interior Highlands of Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, over-harvest, extensive logging, and reductions of habitat availability by other means contributed to the decline of black bears (Ursus americanus). Bears were extirpated from the majority of the region by the 1940's Oklahoma by 1915 and from Missouri by 1931. From 1958-1968, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission undertook a reintroduction to the Ouachita and the Ozark National Forests in Arkansas. The successful growth and expansion of the released population caused these efforts to be considered one of the most successful reintroductions of carnivores. In this dissertation, I sought to examine the current population size and density of bears in the Ouachita and the Ozark National Forests in Arkansas and to explore how dispersal patterns are influenced by population expansion. Density estimates are comparable to or above previous estimates done in the late 1980's/early 1990's. The population appears to have maintained or exceeded previous density estimates. There was evidence for female philopatry in both source and expanding populations, with relatedness declining with distance until about 30 km. In recently expanding populations, male-male dyads followed a similar pattern to female-female dyads with relatedness decreasing with distance. Female-female dyads in expanding populations also had higher levels of closely related dyads than female-female dyads in source populations. Only in recent years have large predator reintroductions been actively pursued and the goals of restoring a functional ecosystem been approached. The genetics of reintroduction and dispersal received research attention even more recently. Dispersal and gene flow into and out of populations, a process called connectivity, fundamentally shape wildlife distribution and abundance across the landscape. Connectivity determines taxonomic distinctiveness, colonization of new sites, and persistence of both local populations and metapopulations of linked populations. With measures of connectivity in hand, we can better understand the role it plays for a particular wildlife species, and predict the consequences of changes in a human-altered landscape.

▼ Rapidly increasing population along with episodes of drought puts a substantial strain on water resources in parts of the state of Texas. Thus, sustainable and long-term management of the future of water supply has become the priority among the state agencies and water managers. With municipal water demand expected to increase in the future it is important to understand the drivers of residential water demand in Texas. This study focuses on the Colorado River basin, which represents one of the largest basins delivering water to 41 counties across the state. Importantly, in order to meet the future needs for water, counties that typically rely on the Colorado River will likely be forced to depend increasingly on limited groundwater reserves in the future. A greater rate of depletion of these ground water reserves and their disappearance due to drought in turn, may threaten the long-term availability of water from the Colorado River basin. In this research we analyze the effects of climate patterns, socioeconomic factors, and land use patterns on per capita municipal water usage from the Colorado River across counties over the period from 1971 to 2014. Using fixed effects panel regression analysis methods, water usage from the Colorado River is found to be significantly determined by population density, home values, ethnicity, age, annual precipitation, and the number of hot days (temperature exceeding 29.44C) during summer months, along with urban structure. Results suggest that areas with greater annual precipitation and a higher housing price index tend to have a higher per capita municipal water usage. With regards to population demographics, results suggest that areas with a lower minority population and lower percentage of children (19 years old and younger) have a lower per capita municipal water usage. Results pertaining to urban structure suggest that counties adjacent to a metropolitan county have the highest per capita municipal water usage, urban counties the next highest, followed by metropolitan counties, and rural counties which have the lowest per capita municipal water usage.

Šis tyrimas buvo atliktas, siekiant išsiaiškinti briedžių elementariosios populiacijos būklę Buktos miške. Nustatyti jų bandos sudėtį pagal lytį ir amžių, pasiskirstymą atskiruose medynuose ir įvertinti briedžių daromą poveikį miško želdiniams ir žėliniams. Tyrimas buvo vykdomas du kartus 2007-2008-2009 m. 3440 ha plote, Buktos miške, esančiame Marijampolės raj. pietrytinėje dalyje. Šis miškas priskiriamas lapuočių su eglėmis miškams. Tyrimo tikslas - įvertinti briedžių elementariosios populiacijos būklę Buktos miške R. Mc. Cain'o (1948) metodu, nustatyti briedžių gausą, jų lytį ir amžių, pagal ekskrementų krūvelių skaičių ir jų formą. Einant per kvartalą, 100 m ilgio ir 4 m pločio atkarpos juostose skaičiuojamos ekskrementų krūvelės, viso miško krūvelių skaičius apskaičiuojamas pagal formulę: K= P • n / J, čia: K- ekskrementų krūvelių skaičius visame plote; P- bendras miško plotas; n- ekskrementų krūvelių skaičius apskaitos juostose vnt.; J- apskaitos juostos plotas ha. Pagal 2007-2008 metų tyrimą nustatyta, kad Buktos miško teritorijoje buvo 16 briedžių, iš jų 31,3 % patinų, 43,8 % patelių ir 25 % jauniklių. 1000 ha miško ploto teko 4,7 briedžio, patinų ir patelių santykis 1:1,1. Analizuojant 2008-2009 metų tyrimo rezultatus, nustatyta, kad Buktos miške žiemojo 18 briedžių. Briedžių tankis buvo 5,2 vnt./1000 ha. Patinai sudarė 33,3 %, patelės 44,5 %, jaunikliai 22,2 %.

This investigation has been conducted in order to find out the state of elementary population of elk in Bukta forest, to establish the composition of their herds according to sex and age, distribution in separate stands and assess the influence made by elk on forest plantations and self-regenerated stands. The investigation was carried out twice in 2007-2008-2009. In the 3440 hectare area of the Bukta forest which is located in the southeast of Marijampole district. This forest is classified to a leafy forest with spruces. The research aims at evaluating the population of elk in the Bukta forest by using the R. McCain’s method (1948), setting the plurality, gender and age of these animals according to the number and shape of the pile of the excrements. When walking in the forest sections in the certain parts of 100 metres length and 4 metres width, the piles of excrements are counted by using the formula: K= P • n / J, where “K” stands for “the number of the piles of the excrements in all the area”, “P” – “the general area of the forest”, “n” – “the number of the piles of the excrements in the certain forest parts”, “J” – “the area of the certain forest part (ha)”. In 2007-2008 accordance with this research it was found out that there are 16 elk (31.3 % bulls, 43.8 % cows and 25 % calves) in the territory of the Bukta forest. 4.7 elk go to the area of 1000 ha forest. The ratio of bulls and cows is 1:1.1. While analyzing the results of the investigation of 2008-2009 it has... [to full text]

▼ A primary goal in ecotoxicology is the prediction of population-level effects of contaminant exposure based on individual-level response. Assessment of toxicity at the population level has predominately focused on the population growth rate (PGR), but the PGR may not be a relevant toxicological endpoint for populations at equilibrium. Equilibrium population size may be a more meaningful endpoint than the PGR because a population with smaller equilibrium (i.e., long-term mean) size is more susceptible to the negative effects of environmental variability. I address the ecotoxicology individual-to-population extrapolation problem with modeling. I developed and analyzed a general model applicable to many freshwater fish species that includes density-dependent juvenile survival and additional juvenile mortality due to toxicity exposure, and I quantified its effect on equilibrium population size as a means of assessing toxicity. I then used selenium toxicity in bluegill sunfish as an example to assess the effects of environmental stochasticity on toxicity response with simulation modeling. Individual-level effects are typically greater than population-level effects until the individual effect is large, due to compensatory density-dependent relationships. These effects are sensitive to the recruitment potential of a population, in particular the low-density first-year survival rate S_b. Assuming high S_b could result in underestimating effects of population-level toxicity. The equilibrium size depends directly on S_b, the reproductive potential, the toxin concentration at which mean mortality is 50% (LC50), and the rate at which individual mortality increases with increasing toxin concentration. More experimental data are needed to decrease the uncertainty in estimating these parameters. Effects of environmental variability resulted in simulated extinctions at much lower toxin concentrations than predicted deterministically. Advisors/Committee Members: Van Kirk, Robert.

▼ Density dependence represents a causal relationship between the size of a population and at least one of its measureable demographic rates. It encapsulates the demographic and evolutionary role of a range of social and trophic mechanisms (e.g., cannibalism, competition, cooperation, parasitism, predation), whose effects on crowding and extinction are themselves modified by the population’s abundance (density feedback). The concept is applied in conservation and management to assess critical matters such as harvest quotas, pest/invasion control and thresholds of extinction. I review the use of density dependence in ecology. I quantify a temporal increase in the number of ecological papers examining this concept across an augmenting number of study taxa, and little consensus around the meaning of density dependence and associated concepts in a questionnaire survey among 136 ecologists (Chapter 1). Next, I revise the vocabulary of density dependence in a historical context, finding more than 60 terms, many of which are polysemous, synonymous, or grounded in opinionated statements; I name five unequivocal qualifiers of density feedback (compensatory, delayed compensatory, overcompensatory, depensatory/Allee effect) linked to known population phenomena (stability, cycles, chaos, decline), and dissect the semantic differences between density dependence and population regulation (Chapter 2). Using empirical methods, I show that the strength of density feedback increases with the pace of species’ life histories (Chapter 3), yet is only negligibly correlated with coarse climatic gradients (Chapter 4). These results suggest that broad life-history information can assist management and conservation actions when detailed demographic data are unavailable; and that many demographic processes might operate at spatial scales specific to populations, not species. Subsequently, I provide the first empirical cross-taxa demonstration that density effects on single fertility/survival rates (components) have weak association with feedback at the population level - a phenomenon I call ‘ensemble’ density feedback (Chapter 5). The major implication is that population processes can buffer variation in demographic rates, and management/conservation can be misled when based only on component density feedbacks. In my corollary discussion (Chapter 6), I advocate for phenomenological models to characterise long-term population trends, argue that better integration of temporal and spatial demography could circumvent ongoing semantic conundrums, and highlight the need for a code of ecological nomenclature. Stronger emphasis on the comprehension, mathematical description and application of density feedback through ecological disciplines, from students to seasoned academics, is absolutely necessary for ecology to become one of the most influential branches of modern science, a tool of knowledge for improving societal and environmental well-being.

Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) jedna je od najštetnijih vrsta skladišnih insekata. Svake godine širom sveta nanosi velike ekonomske štete u industriji hrane za domaće životinje, hraneći se velikim brojem sirovina i proizvoda ove industrije. U eksperimentima je korišćeno 9 različitih biljnih sirovina i proizvoda (supstrata) podeljenih u 3 grupe: supstrati bogati proteinima (suncokretova sačma, sojino brašno i kukuruzni gluten), supstrati bogati ugljenim hidratima (pšenične mekinje, prekrupa i kukuruzno stočno brašno) i gotove smeše (hrana za svinje i koke nosilje), dok je kao kontrola korišćen standardni supstrat za laboratorijsko gajenje T. castaneum (brašno + 5% pivskog kvasca). U prvom eksperimentu je na 50g testiranih supstrata ispitan uticaj početne gustine populacije od 10, 25, 50 i 100 insekata sa neodređenim odnosom polova na: prvi dan pojave, dužinu trajanja perioda eklozije, brojnost i masu potomaka. U drugom eksperimentu na 10g testiranih supstrata ispitan je uticaj početne gustine populacije od 1, 2, 5 i 10 parova insekata određenih polova na dužinu trajanja stadijuma jajeta, larve, lutke, ukupnu dužinu ciklusa razvića, prvi dan pojave imaga, dužinu perioda eklozije, brojnost potomaka, prosečnu produktivnost ženke i masu potomaka. Nakon razvića potomaka (10 parova/10 g supstrata), urađena je analiza sadržaja proteina i skroba u supstratima pomoću Kjeldahl aparature i polarimetra kako bi se uporedio hemijski sastav supstrata pre i nakon ishrane insekata. Podaci su statistički obrađeni višefaktorijalnom analizom varijanse za ponovljena merenja i jednofaktorijalnom analizom varijanse, a srednje vrednosti poređene Fisher's LSD testom. Pomoću olfaktometra i testa izbora ispitan je uticaj mirisa supstrata bogatih ugljenim hidratima, gotovih smeša za ishranu svinja i koka nosilja kao i standardnog supstrata za laboratorijsko gajenje, na ponašanje T. castaneum. Supstrati su korišćeni u neinfestiranom i infestiranom stanju. Infestirani supstrati su dobijeni izlaganjem supstrata odraslim insektima T. castaneum u trajanju od 15 dana, nakon čega su insekti prosejavanjem eleminisani...

▼ Global demand for cereal crops like maize is rising at a rapid pace as the world population expands beyond 7 billion people. To meet these needs, productivity (i.e. grain yield) per unit area must be increased. A survey of U.S. maize germplasm was conducted to identify sources of favorable alleles for plant density tolerance and better understanding the genetics involved. Hybrids created using a genetically diverse set of inbreds representing parentage of key heterotic sub-groups were evaluated at plant densities ranging from 19,000 plants per acre (ppA) to 54,000 ppA. Five categories of traits were hypothesized to be associated with plant density tolerance: photosynthetic capability, growth responses, source-sink relationship, general stress tolerance, and plant architecture. Fifty phenotypic traits from these five categories were evaluated in three environments that differed for levels of moisture availability. The relationship between plant density and grain yield was assessed for each hybrid, with a wide range of responses observed. Five hybrids showed substantial tolerance to plant densities ≥47,000 ppA based on grain yield. Phenotypic trait correlations revealed a subset of traits associated with grain yield. Further analysis provided insight into relationships among traits that ultimately influence grain yield. All 5 categories of traits were found to have an association with grain yield directly and indirectly. Analysis of environments with differing moisture levels suggested that the 5 top-performing hybrids at high plant density have exceptional capacity for light utilization and translation of that energy into kernel mass. Estimates of heritability for grain yield at high plant densities were found to be similar to those at other plant densities, therefore requiring no alteration with breeding strategies used for new and improved maize lines. Results of this work will be used to create plant materials for further characterization of the trait through QTL mapping and candidate gene approaches. Advisors/Committee Members: Mumm, Rita H.

▼ Within the western Great Lakes (WGL) U.S. region (Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin), the ecological impacts that North American beavers (Castor canadensis) have on cold- water streams are generally considered to negatively affect salmonid populations where the two taxa interact. Here, we review the history of beaver-salmonid interactions within the WGL region, describe how this relationship and management actions have evolved over the past century, and review all published studies from the region that have evaluated beaver-salmonid interactions. Our review suggests the impact beavers have varies spatially and temporally, depending on a variety of local ecological characteristics. We found beaver activity is often deleterious to salmonids in low-gradient stream basins, but generally beneficial in high- gradient basins; and ample groundwater inputs can offset the potential negative effects of beavers by stabilizing the hydrologic and thermal regimes within streams. However, there was an obvious lack of empirical data and/or experimental controls within the reviewed studies, which we suggest emphasizes the need for more data-driven beaver-salmonid research in the WGL region. Resource managers are routinely faced with an ecological dilemma between maintaining natural environmental processes within cold-water ecosystems and conducting beaver control for the benefit of salmonids, and this dilemma is further complicated when the salmonids in question are a non-native species. We anticipate future beaver-salmonid research will lead to a greater understanding of this ecologically-complex relationship that may better inform managers when and where beaver control is necessary to achieve the desired management objectives. Understanding how wildlife populations respond to density-dependent (DD) and density- independent (DI) factors is critically important for wildlife management and research, as this knowledge can allow us to predict population responses to forcing mechanisms such as climate, predation, and exploitation. Recent advancements in statistical methods have allowed researchers to disentangle the relative influence each factor has on wildlife population dynamics, but this work is ongoing. Using a long-term dataset collected from 1975 to 2002, we sought to evaluate the relative influence DD and a suite of covariates (weather, harvest, habitat quality, and wolf [Canis lupus] predation) had on annual rates of change in the number of beaver (Castor canadensis) colonies among 15 populations in northern Minnesota, USA. We modeled changes in beaver colony densities using a discrete-time Gompertz model within a Bayesian inference framework, and compared model performance among three global models using Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) widely available information criterion (WAIC): a DI model without covariates; a DD model without covariates; and a DD model with covariates. Our results provide strong evidence for compensatory (negative) DD within beaver colony dynamics. We found no evidence that covariates related to harvest,…

▼ To develop effective conservation planning and mitigate biodiversity loss, standardized metrics for monitoring and assessing biodiversity are needed. This information is particularly vital in Botswana, where knowledge of many of the diverse wildlife populations is lacking. To address this knowledge gap, my dissertation research evaluated the distributions, densities, and ecology of the wildlife community in northern Botswana, with a focus on terrestrial carnivore species given their importance both ecologically and economically. My objectives were threefold: 1) estimate the distributions of the mammal community (n = 44 species) and evaluate community, group, and species-specific responses to anthropogenic and environmental variables, 2) test whether the presence of intraguild species or resource availability had a larger influence on the seasonal distributions of carnivore species, and 3) simultaneously estimate the population densities of 7 carnivore species. To accomplish these objectives, I completed a multi-year camera trap survey in a 1,154-km2 study area and analyzed the data using occupancy models (single and multi- species) and spatially explicit capture-recapture models. Estimates of species richness ranged from 8 to 27 unique species, species had a mean occurrence probability of 0.32 (95% credible interval = 0.21–0.45), and estimated densities ranged from 1.8 aardwolves (Proteles cristata) to 12.7 spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) per 100 km2. The occupancy and richness of terrestrial mammals was negatively associated with human disturbance and in general, positively associated with open grasslands/floodplains. Carnivore species, specifically, tended to have greater species richness and larger population densities in open habitats than in closed. I also found carnivore distributions were positively associated with the detection rate of intraguild competitors and predators, suggesting competitor/predator avoidance did not play a large role in shaping carnivore community structure. My research highlights the pivotal role protected areas and grasslands play in conserving wildlife populations in northern Botswana. Additionally, my research helps progress camera trap analyses from single to multi-species assessments. Broader application of this multi-species approach would likely result in a better understanding of wildlife and carnivore communities which in turn, may help inform management actions aimed at addressing the loss of wildlife populations globally.
