Using Self-Organizing Maps to Calculate Chilling Hours as an Indicator of Temperature Shifts During Winter in the Southeastern United States
… and South Carolina. Plants will begin their spring growth sooner than climatology would suggest and then be damaged by early spring frosts in what is commonly known as a "false spring" event. Some species of plants, like peaches and blueberries, which produce buds early in the season, are …

Preliminary quantitative trait loci analysis for biomass traits in Miscanthus sinensis
… identified 42 QTLs across 15 traits. The use of spring emergence as a covariate to account for variation resulting from the establishment effect increased the power to detect QTLs. Synteny between sorghum and Miscanthus has been utilized to identify a plausible gene candidate underlying a …

Nest emergence phenology of the Northern Map turtle (Graptemys geographica) near its northern range limit
… from only two locales in the USA. Hatchling emergence from the nest is not a straightforward product of time since oviposition, varies among species, and is not well understood. Map turtle hatchlings have been shown to be capable of overwintering in the nest, but do not always do so. I …

Life history of a native emydid turtle (Malaclemys terrapin centrata) on the remote oceanic islands of Bermuda
… 61.8 days (range 49-83; SD 10.5). Delayed emergence was documented, with 43.8% of the hatchlings remaining in their natal nests over the winter months. The mean annual hatching success rate was determined to be 19% (range 17.6-21; SD 1.9). Radio-telemetry was used to investigate the …

Influences of Climate, Competition, and Novel Hosts on Parasitoids of Emerald Ash Borer, and their Establishment in Virginia, and North Carolina
… of emerald ash borer larvae with the early spring emergence of S. agrili and S. galinae. The first objective also assessed how two different cold temperature treatments changed the emergence timing, and health of the wasps. The second objective assessed to determine the effects of …

Wetland hydrology and soils as components of Virginia bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) habitat
… signatures to evaluate the timing and cues of spring emergence and to recognize thermoregulatory activities during periods of turtle activity. Mean daily turtle temperatures (n=16 turtles) during the coldest portion of two winters ranged between 1.3°C and 6.1°C, with one turtle experiencing 14 …

Spatial Ecology and Conservation Strategies for the Endangered Northern Long-Eared Bat (<i>Myotis septentrionalis</i>) in a Post-White-Nose Syndrome Landscape
… during warmer weeks of the fall swarm and spring emergence, when rainfall was low. Similarly, the probability of northern long-eared bat activity was highest near hibernacula during the spring/summer season. However, unlike relative activity, the likelihood of recording northern long-eared …

Dissecting key biomass traits through traditional QTL mapping, exploring novel functional genomics approaches, and investigating self-incompatibility in Miscanthus
… in the third year of growth. Both the use of spring emergence and vigor rating as a covariate to account for variation related to differences in establishment increased the power to detect QTLs in the two year establishment period. Finally, a dry period in the middle of the 2012 growing season …

Using Plant Growth Regulators to Improve the Quality of Containerized Herbaceous Peony
… drench application of 15 mg·L-1 UNZ prior to spring emergence reduced plant width moderately resulting in improved compactness of both cultivars. We evaluated the effects of plant growth retardants applied with different methods at different stages of production on the growth and development …
