Population and community responses to anthropogenic environmental changes
Humans are dramatically altering the planet. I use classic ecological theory, original conceptual models, and a novel analytical tool (Rank Occupancy-Abundance Profiles; ROAPs) to explore the effects anthropogenic changes have on plant communities and bird populations. Chapter one investigates the …

Betrayal and courage : faith community responses to domestic violence.
… through referrals to professional or DV-trained community partners, and by demonstrating the continued value of those affected by abuse. Survivor posttraumatic growth can be enhanced when faith communities engage in IC. Promoting healing in survivors of DV also impacts their children, making this …

Amphibian and Reptile Community Responses to Forest and Riparian Disturbance
… Carolina, USA. We used a hierarchical Bayesian community occupancy model to estimate species richness and species-specific occupancy responses to SMZ and overstory characteristics. In addition to this landscape-scape investigation, we also examined the effect of harvesting on individual growth …

Microbial community responses of an anaerobic enrichment to temperature shocks
… and 60°C), and complete inhibition (70°C). These responses were also reflected in the RNA- and DNA- based 16S rRNA gene analysis of the microbial community. The primary benzoate-degrading syntroph (Syntrophus-related population) was highly affected by heat shock temperature, and its abundance was …

Aquatic microbial community responses to stress: comparison of nontaxonomic and taxonomic indices
… environments. Field and laboratory microcosm responses of indigenous microbial communities exposed to municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) effluent were monitored. The STP effluent produced increased adenylate concentrations, ATP/ADP and ATP/Chla ratios, and decreased Chla, Chla/Pheo, d, and …

Longterm Approaches to Assessing Tree Community Responses to Resource Limitation and Climate Variation
… on forest dynamics will be determined by tree responses at different life-stages and different scales -- from establishment to maturity and from individuals to populations. Studies incorporating local factors, such as natural enemies, competition, or tree physiology, with sufficient variation …

Community responses of aquatic macroinvertebrates to heavy metals in laboratory and outdoor experimental streams
This research describes aquatic macroinvertebrate community responses to heavy metals (copper, zinc) in experimental streams and at metal-impacted sites in the field. Experiments employed substrate-filled trays which were colonized in the field and then transferred to laboratory or outdoor streams. …

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to a Headwater Valley Restoration at Slabcamp Creek, Rowan Co., Kentucky
… begin baseline studies of the macroinvertebrate community in the restored section of Slabcamp Creek and to compare those findings to White Pine Branch (a pre-restoration control site) during the first post-restoration year. Specific objectives of my study were to: 1) report seasonal estimates of …

Application of molecular biology techniques in the assessment of microbial community responses to environmental perturbations
… approaches to monitoring both types of microbial community changes can provide information about those systems at less complex and more sensitive levels than can be achieved with more traditional methods. Traditionally, aquatic microbial communities are evaluated by taxonomic identification and …

Plant Community Responses to Long-Term Seasonal Bison Grazing in the Dry Mixed Grassland of Saskatchewan
… bison grazing. This study investigated plant community responses to long-term dormant and growing season bison grazing as well as an ungrazed control. The study took place in the dry mixed grass ecoregion of Saskatchewan, Canada and analysed species diversity, evenness and richness; bare …

Late Holocene diatom community responses to climate variability along the southern Cape coastal plain, South Africa
… long-term variability of ecosystems and their responses to environmental changes has been undertaken. This has mainly been achieved through the identification and analysis of fossil material in lake sediments. In the South Africa, the relative paucity of available sites and the semi-arid nature …

Zooming in on human-wildlife coexistence: primate community responses in a shared agroforest landscape in Guinea-Bissau
In this thesis I explore how humans and nonhuman primates, including chimpanzees, share the space in a coastal forest-agriculture-village landscape mosaic at Cantanhez National Park (NP), southern Guinea-Bissau (West Africa). I integrate data from arboreal and terrestrial camera traps with habitat …

An Evaluation of Tourism Communities and Community Responses to Tourism and Crime: A Case Study of two Cornish Destinations
… The research established that the resort community found commonality through the mutual gaze, whilst the coastal community formed closed perceptions of deviant activities through discord and the local gaze. The study concludes by arguing that a destination offering a hedonistic lifestyle …

The ecological impacts of climate warming and pollution on freshwater microbial communities
… microbial compositional and abundance responses to global change, such as temperature increases, within urbanised contexts. This is particularly pertinent for freshwater systems which are comparatively more sensitive to perturbations than terrestrial and marine ecosystems. This research …

Negotiating modern and traditional discourses of HIV/AIDS in a rural South African community: school impact and personal cost
… Traditional HIV/AIDS discourse refers to community responses to the disease that ‘resist dominant epidemiological narratives’, while the modern narrative refers to mainstream, scientific research that is supported by the majority of health professionals and the scientific community in …

Asylum seekers in the UK: a social psychological understanding of a moral panic
… interviews comprising 36 members of the host community, and 25 individual interviews with people who have sought asylum in the UK. The findings established some empirical indicators for evidence of a 'moral panic', but also drew attention to the complexity of applying criteria such as …
