Mollusc population size distribution monitoring: Fall 2006 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc size distributions based on collections from GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10

This data set is the Fall 2006 report of infaunal and epifaunal mollusc species size distributions at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Infaunal and epifaunal molluscs were hand-collected from within quadrats of known area from mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 quadrats per zone) at all sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab, fixed in fomalin, transferred to and preserved in ethanol, measured and counted (count data is reported separately). Length of each measurable individual was determined using calipers or small etched rulers under a stereomicroscope. Species abundance and density data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data set INV-GCEM-0705c1. Numbers of individuals of each species in the abundance data file may not correspond exactly to the numbers of individuals in the size data file because some individuals may not have been measureable.

RCSED - A Value-Added Reference Catalog of Spectral Energy Distributions of 800,299 Galaxies in 11 Ultraviolet, Optical, and Near-Infrared Bands: Morphologies, Colors, Ionized Gas and Stellar Populations Properties

<p>We present RCSED, the value-added Reference Catalog of Spectral Energy Distributions of galaxies, which contains homogenized spectrophotometric data for 800,299 low and intermediate redshift galaxies (0.007 < z < 0.6) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic sample. Accessible from the Virtual Observatory (VO) and complemented with detailed information on galaxy properties obtained with the state-of-the-art data analysis, RCSED enables direct studies of galaxy formation and evolution during the last 5 Gyr. We provide tabulated color transformations for galaxies of different morphologies and luminosities and analytic expressions for the red sequence shape in different colors. RCSED comprises integrated k-corrected photometry in up-to 11 ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared bands published by the GALEX, SDSS, and UKIDSS wide-field imaging surveys; results of the stellar population fitting of SDSS spectra including best-fitting templates, velocity dispersions, parameterized star formation histories, and stellar metallicities computed for instantaneous starburst and exponentially declining star formation models; parametric and non-parametric emission line fluxes and profiles; and gas phase metallicities. We link RCSED to the Galaxy Zoo morphological classification and galaxy bulge+disk decomposition results by Simard et al. We construct the color-magnitude, Faber-Jackson, mass-metallicity relations, compare them with the literature and discuss systematic errors of galaxy properties presented in our catalog. RCSED is accessible from the project web-site and via VO simple spectrum access and table access services using VO compliant applications. We describe several SQL query examples against the database. Finally, we briefly discuss existing and future scientific applications of RCSED and prospectives for the catalog extension to higher redshifts and different wavelengths.</p>

Figure 11 in Environmental influences on movements and distribution of a wild horse (Equus caballus) population in western Nevada, USA: a 25-year study

Figure 11. Relationships of human presence, horse key summer range (KSR) use, and lion numbers in the Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Territory (MPWHT). Human presence (May– September) is presented as per cent of its highest year. Horse KSR use is presented as per cent of the total population using the KSR. Adult lion numbers are presented as the percentage of the maximum single-year lion number.

Figure 5. Changes from 1987 in Environmental influences on movements and distribution of a wild horse (Equus caballus) population in western Nevada, USA: a 25-year study

Figure 5. Changes from 1987 to 2007 in patterns of the geographic distribution of wild horses in the Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Territory (MPWHT). The central, lightly shaded area is the key summer range (KSR). The black mark within it is the highest elevation in the Territory (elevation decreases 360 degrees around it throughout). Dark shaded areas indicate regular horse use and represent> 90% of the population. Many wild horse populations in the intermountain west accommodate to seasonal conditions, spending winter at lower elevations and summer at higher elevations. The pattern across years in the MPWHT changed from summer horse concentration in the KSR to decreasing return to KSR from winter range. In addition to establishment of decreased KSR use and increased year-round use of historical winter-range areas, expansion of the geographic use areas occurred in the latter, including seasonal use beyond MPWHT map boundaries.

Figure 8 in Environmental influences on movements and distribution of a wild horse (Equus caballus) population in western Nevada, USA: a 25-year study

Figure 8. The relationship of key summer range (KSR) horse use and carrying capacity in the context of the Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Territory (MPWHT) horse population. As KSR horse numbers decreased, use outside the KSR increased. Total population range use is presented as a percentage of KSR carrying capacity. As total population increased across years, it remained <80% of carrying capacity for KSR alone, suggesting that considerable population growth can continue without reaching carrying capacity.

Figure 4. Relationship of mountain lions and foal survival in the Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Territory (MPWHT). Data are based on annual assessment between May and September. The majority of predation occurred in the key summer range (KSR). Adult lion numbers and foal survival in the MPWHT: foal survival is presented as the ratio of currentyear yearlings to previous-year foals expressed as a percentage, lion numbers are for individual lions documented by telemetry, track and/or sighting. The majority of lions were recorded in the KSR.
