RESOURCE SUBSIDIES ACROSS THE AQUATIC-TERRESTRIAL BOUNDARIES OF TEMPORARY PONDS
… terrestrial environments via reciprocal subsidies. Much of the research on these subsidies has been focused on streams, while subsidies across aquatic-terrestrial boundaries of other aquatic systems, like temporary ponds, have received little attention. Temporary ponds are seasonally …

An Ecological Comparison Between Resource Subsidies: Pacific Lamprey (<i>Entosphenus tridentatus</i>) and Pacific Salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus</i> spp.)
… of spawning anadromous fish that provided resource subsidies in the form of marine-derived nutrients (MDN), thus driving stream food web productivity. To date, many studies in the PNW have focused on Pacific salmon (<em>Oncorhynchus </em>spp.) as a resource subsidy, overlooking other …

Enhancing the biological control of leafrollers (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) using floral resource subsidies in an organic vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand
… to determine whether the provision of floral resources to Dolichogenidea tasmanica Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) could enhance the biological control of leafrollers (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in an organic vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand. Laboratory experiments were conducted to find …

Ecology of feral cats Felis catus and their prey in relation to shrubland fire regimes
… shelter availability and anthropogenic resource subsidies. Relatively few studies were available for review and the strength of evidence contained within them was generally low, which highlighted the need for more rigorous field studies. I examined overlap in resource use between cats …

Trophic transfer of nearshore basal resources: interpreting fatty acid and stable isotope biomarkers
… living in aphotic aquatic habitats rely upon subsidies of detrital energy, in the form of complex organic molecules, which are synthesized by macrophytes and phytoplankton in the photic zone. Identifying the relative importance of different basal energy resources to consumers is critical for …

The Effects of dairy cattle antibiotics on soil microbial community cycling and antibiotic resistance
… to isolate the influences of antibiotics, manure resource subsidies, and bovine microbiome inoculants into soils. Specifically, I examined soil respiration and antibiotic resistance gene counts using qPCR following treatment with cephapirin, pirilimycin and a positive and negative control. I found …

WHAT PREDICTS TERRESTRIAL INVERTEBRATE SUBSIDY USE BY BROOK TROUT (SALVELINUS FONTINALIS) IN HEADWATER STREAMS?
Spatial subsidies provide critical resources for organisms in receiving habitats, particularly when production in those habitats is low. While it is clear that terrestrial invertebrates provide a critical subsidy for trout, including eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), we have limited …
