The potential and limitations of linking biological monitoring data and restoration needs of urbanized waterways: a case study
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2014)
The implementation of effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of urbanization on waterways represents a major global challenge. Monitoring data plays an important role in the formulation of these strategies. Using ...
Autecological effects of habitat alteration: trophic changes in mangrove marsh fish as a consequence of marsh impoundment
(Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008-11-19)
The key to predicting, counteracting, and managing environmental change is understanding
the mechanisms through which habitat change affects populations of organisms. The mangrove
ecosystem of the Indian River Lagoon ...
Predicting impacts of urbanized stream processes on biota: high flows and river chub (Nocomis micropogon) nesting activity
(Springer, 2017)
This study quantified the impact of high stream flows on reproductive activities of river chub (Nocomis micropogon). Using observed relationships between flow and reproductive activities, the number of predicted damaging ...
Phylogeny, Regression, and the Allometry of Physiological Traits
(Essex Institute, 2007)
Physiological and ecological allometries often pose linear regression problems characterized by (1) noncausal, phylogenetically autocorrelated independent (x) and dependent (y) variables (characters); (2) random variation ...
An approach for determining relative input parameter importance and significance in artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2007)
Artificial neural network (ANN) models are powerful statistical tools which are increasingly used in modeling complex ecological systems. For interpretation of ANN models, a means of evaluating how systemic parameters ...
Reconsidering the mechanistic basis of metabolic theory of ecology
(2007)
The recently proposed metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) claims to provide a mechanistic explanation for long known allometric relationships between mass and metabolic rate. The MTE postulates that these patterns of allometry ...
Effects of Incubation Conditions on Sex Determination, Hatching Success, and Growth of Hatchling Desert Tortoises, Gopherus agassizii
(1994)
Incubation temperature has a direct effect on sex determination of the desert tortoise. Low temperatures (26.0-30.6 C) produce males and high temperatures (32.8-35.3 C) produce females. Pivotal temperature is approximately ...

(Springer, 2014)
The implementation of effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of urbanization on waterways represents a major global challenge. Monitoring data plays an important role in the formulation of these strategies. Using ...
Predicting Ecological Effects of Watershed-Wide Rain Garden Implementation Using a Low-Cost Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
Stormwater control measures (SCMs) have been employed to mitigate peak flows and pollutants associated with watershed urbanization. Downstream ecological effects caused by the implementation of SCMs are largely unknown, ...
