MULTIFACETED DRIVERS OF PERFORMANCE VARIATION IN ANIMAL POPULATIONS: INVASIVE PREDATOR, RESOURCE AVAILABILITY AND HYBRIDIZATION
… pressing issue of global change: alien species, resource availability and hybridization. The first study (Chapter 2) focused on phenotypic variation of a native species in response to an alien predator. Italian agile frog embryos developed faster when exposed to the predator in laboratory …

Proposed measure of effectiveness for Human Resource Availability periods for their impact upon unit operational readiness.
The U.S. Navy Human Resource Management Support System (HRMSS) has been in operation in various forms throughout the naval establishment since 1971. To date approximately 50% of the Navy's operational commands have been exposed to HRMSS concepts and practices via the mechanism of a Human Resource …

The Impact of Resource Availability on Patterns of Discharge to Inpatient Rehabilitation after Stroke in Ontario, Canada
… suggest that post-stroke rehabilitation resources in both settings may be lacking. This has led to concern that some patients may be receiving rehabilitation that is not appropriate for their needs, while others receive none at all. The objective of this thesis was to formally test the …

Effects of Spatial and Temporal Variation in Resource Availability on the Growth Rates and Survival of Dunlin (Calidris Alpina Hudsonia) Chicks
… seasons and shorter periods of high arthropod availability due to climate change. Shorebirds have precocial chicks which may compensate for food shortages by responding to spatial and temporal variation in arthropod availability. I hypothesize that shorebirds capitalize on this mobility to …

The role of forest stream corridor characteristics in influencing stream and riparian ecology
… biodiversity and functioning. The contribution, availability and source of basal resources within varying corridor conditions are the focus of this project. This approach is combined with surveys of community diversity on a number of key trophic scales in order to determine how the corridor …

Effects of temperature and food availability on the reproductive ecology of an arid-zone bird
… on avian ecology. However, the potential for resource availability to moderate environmental temperature effects on birds' behaviour, physiology, morphology, and success during breeding remains understudied. I investigated these lesser-known concepts through monitoring breeding, conducting a …

Strategies of adaptation to age-related losses in everyday activities of independent seniors
… & Baltes, 1990) to the adaptive management of resources in everyday life in old age. The general hypothesis that loss-based selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) use mediated the relationship between personal resource availability and successful aging outcomes was tested by …

Water and carbon flux responses to soil moisture pulses in the Western United States
… water and carbon flux responses to soil moisture resource pulses in semi-arid lands of the Western United States were diagnosed. Measurements from twelve AmeriFlux tower (in situ) and SMAP (satellite) sites across the region were used to estimate relationships between carbon flux and resource …

Temporal and spatial patterns of abundance of age 0 threadfin shad (Dorosoma petenense) in Overton Arm, Lake Mead
… Mead, were examined to evaluate the effects of resource availability on the young fish. This was part of the Lake Mead Fertilization Project, designed to assess feasability of increasing survivorship of juvenile shad by boosting phosphate, thereby increasing algal and zooplankton biomass, during …

Understory Composition, Seedling Growth, and Snag Frequency Across a Water-Limited Forest Landscape
… topographic variation in soil moisture and other resources across a water-limited landscape. The objective of the second chapter was to compare responses of understory plant communities to soil moisture, nitrogen, and light, and to understand whether responses to soil moisture depend on the latter …

Resilient Interdomain Routing With BGP: Protocols and Reliability Engineering
… QoS routing information which includes network resource availability, communication reliability, etc. This information can help to route and manage Internet traffic efficiently and reliably. We propose a series of statistical metrics which abstract QoS information into one or several probability …

The Role of Resource Predictability in the Metapopulation Dynamics of Insects
… I investigate the unpredictable nature of resource availability for species living in human-dominated heterogeneous and dynamic landscapes in the context of its consequences for long-term regional persistence of species. In particular, I test theoretical advancements in metapopulation …
