Fire in US lake watersheds (1500 m lake buffers) from 1984-2015 (github repository)

This repository contains lake-specific watershed (1500 m buffers) fire histories for US lakes >= 4 ha based on Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (fire type and burn severity class). 8702 lake watersheds experienced at least one fire from 1984-2015. This repository contains analysis scripts (R) and data products associated with the manuscript McCullough et al. (2019) “Do lakes feel the burn? Ecological consequences of increasing exposure of lakes to fire in the continental US”. Global Change Biology. The repository is an April 2019 snapshot of the github repository https://github.com/cont-limno/DoLakesFeelTheBurn for when the manuscript was accepted.

Investigating the effects of retaining riparian forest buffer zones of differing width on stream channel geomorphology

Description: To monitor temporal stream shape change over a gradient of RBZ widths, channel cross section measurements were continued at preestablished points that have been present since 2011. The points are marked with 0.4-metre-long PVC pipes that are spray painted yellow for easier identification and surrounding bedrock or roots are also marked at the exact location of the pipes in case a pipe should be eroded away in future. Channel cross sections were calculated using a standardised method. Cross- sectional area (CSA) measurement was repeated for every pre-established cross section point along the stream. These were located 250 m apart and numbered 4- 10, depending on the accessibility of the trails upstream. The stream with a '0 metre' buffer, for instance, had only four measurement points due to a steep waterfall which could not be passed. The CSA of these stream points were re-measured on a yearly basis in 2011 - 2014, 2018 and 2019.Project: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/projects/project_view/210">Investigating the effects of retaining riparian forest buffer zones of differing width on stream channel geomorphology. </a>XML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/datasets/xml_metadata?id=3476390">here</a>Files: This consists of 1 file: Template_cross_sections.xlsxTemplate_cross_sections.xlsxThis file contains dataset metadata and 1 data tables:<ol><li>Stream cross section measurements (described in worksheet CrossSections)Description: Cross section measurementsNumber of fields: 7Number of data rows: 8377Fields: <ul><li>Identity: Original site label in field data (Field type: id)</li><li>Stream: Stream transect (Field type: location)</li><li>Site: Location of stream cross section (Field type: location)</li><li>DistanceAcross: Distance across the stream at which the measurement was taken (Field type: numeric)</li><li>Height: Stream depth (Field type: numeric)</li><li>BaseMaterial: Ground cover at the measurement point (Field type: categorical)</li><li>Date: Date cross section was measured (Field type: date)</li></ul></li></ol>Date range: 2011-01-12 to 2019-03-30Latitudinal extent: 4.6314 to 4.7345Longitudinal extent: 117.4554 to 117.6414

Data from: Social contact patterns can buffer costs of forgetting in the evolution of cooperation

Analyses of the evolution of cooperation often rely on two simplifying assumptions: (i) individuals interact equally frequently with all social network members and (ii) they accurately remember each partner's past cooperation or defection. Here, we examine how more realistic, skewed patterns of contact---in which individuals interact primarily with only a subset of their network's members---influence cooperation. In addition, we test whether skewed contact patterns can counteract the decrease in cooperation caused by memory errors (i.e., forgetting). Finally, we compare two types of memory error that vary in whether forgotten interactions are replaced with random actions or with actions from previous encounters. We use evolutionary simulations of repeated prisoner's dilemma games that vary agents' contact patterns, forgetting rates, and types of memory error. We find that highly skewed contact patterns foster cooperation and also buffer the detrimental effects of forgetting. The type of memory error used also influences cooperation rates. Our findings reveal previously neglected but important roles of contact patterns, type of memory error, and the interaction of contact pattern and memory on cooperation. Although cognitive limitations may constrain the evolution of cooperation, social contact patterns can counteract some of these constraints.

Data from: Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large-bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate

Temporal changes in net energy balance of animals strongly influence fitness; consequently, natural selection should favor behaviors that increase net energy balance by buffering individuals against negative effects of environmental variation. The relative importance of behavioral responses to climate-induced variation in costs versus supplies of energy, however, is uncertain, as is the degree to which such responses are mediated by current stores of energy. We evaluated relationships among behavior, nutritional condition (i.e., energetic state), and spatiotemporal variation in costs versus supplies of energy available to a large-bodied endotherm, the North American elk (Cervus elaphus), occupying two ecosystems with contrasting climates; 1) a temperate, montane forest; and 2) an arid, high-elevation desert. We hypothesized that during spring through autumn, behavioral responses to the energetic landscape would be both context-dependent (i.e., would vary as a function of the environmental conditions experienced by elk in the forest versus the desert), and state-dependent (i.e., would vary as a function of the energetic state of an individual). We tested several predictions derived from that hypothesis by combining output from a biophysical model of the thermal environment with data on forage quality, animal locations, and nutritional condition of individuals. At the population level, elk in the desert selected areas that reduced costs of thermoregulation over those that provided the highest quality forage. In the forest, however, costs imposed by the thermal environment were less pronounced, and elk selected areas that increased access to high quality forage over those that reduced costs of thermoregulation. At the individual level, nutritional condition did not influence strength of selection for low-cost areas or high quality forage among elk in the forest. In the desert, however, strength of selection for low-cost areas (but not forage quality) was state-dependent - individuals in the poorest condition at the end of winter showed the strongest selection for areas that reduced costs of thermoregulation during spring and summer, and also expended the least amount of energy on locomotion. Our results highlight the importance of understanding the roles of behavior and nutritional condition in buffering endotherms against direct and indirect effects of climate on fitness.

Data set and analytic codes supporting "The impacts of within-stream physical structure and riparian buffer strips on semi-aquatic bugs in Southeast Asian oil palm"

This deposit contains data set and analytic codes (accompanied with a meta data) supporting "The impacts of within-stream physical structure and riparian buffer strips on semi-aquatic bugs in Southeast Asian oil palm". We assessed the impacts of within-stream physical structure and riparian buffer strips on semi-aquatic bug (Gerromorpha, Hemiptera) communities in oil palm streams in Sabah, Malaysia. Collections of semi-aquatic bugs were conducted from oil palm with and without riparian buffer strips. Several environmental parameters were collected to represent within-stream physical structure. We investigated the impacts on the abundance, biomass, species richness, and community composition of semi-aquatic bugs. Additionally, we studied the effects on the proportion of juveniles as well as female Ptilomera sp. (a morphospecies with clear sexual dimorphism in this study). This research was funded by the Jardine Foundation, the Cambridge Trust, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) (studentship 1122589), Proforest, the Varley Gradwell Travelling Fellowship, the Tim Whitmore Fund, the Panton Trust, the Cambridge University Commonwealth Fund, the Hanne and Torkel Weis-Fogh Fund, and the S.T. Lee Fund.
