A model for Arctic Charr populations in Cambridge Bay considering fluctuating environment
… an age- and stage-structured discrete-time matrix population model to describe the behaviour of an Arctic Charr population. Given the properties of the model, a weak ergodic behaviour is expected in the long run. Then, utilizing data collected in Cambridge Bay and using a generalized …

Mark-recapture statistics and demographic analysis
Mark-recapture analysis of populations is becoming an important tool in population biology. Mark-recapture methods can be used to estimate transition probabilities among life-stages from capture histories of marked individuals for which stages can be determined at each sampling occasion. This …

Population dynamics and diversity of Synechococcus on the New England Shelf
… tools, which have not been able to resolve population dynamics at timescales that match response times of cells (hours-days). Development of an automated flow cytometer (FlowCytobot) has enabled hourly observation of Synechococcus at the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) since …

Modeling the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on Atlantic croaker: understanding biomarkers and predicting population responses
… I present an approach that uses a series of models, based on Atlantic croaker, to extrapolate laboratory results to indicators of individual and population health. First, I created a physiologically based model that simulates vitellogenesis in a female fish. The model simulates the major …

Ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata) demography in northern Illinois
Demographic studies of wildlife populations are needed to guide management decisions for threatened species. Without data on population vital rates, decisions are often speculative and based on general information about a species rather than at the population level. The Ornate Box Turtle (Terrapene …

Population Dynamics of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) on the Missouri River
… and predation are threatening many shorebird populations worldwide. While habitat preservation often is preferable, sometimes habitat needs to be restored or created in order to stave off immediate declines. The Great Plains population of piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) was listed as …
