Data for Patterns of Settlement Following Forced Migration: The Case of Bosnians in the United States
<p>This repository contains the raw data used in Patterns of Settlement Following Forced Migration: The Case of Bosnians in the United States. These data were downloaded in February 2018 from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey website at https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs. The code used to analyze these data and intermediate datasets derived from them is available in GitHub at https://github.com/JohnPalmer/bosnian_settlement.</p>
Data from: Competitors and predators alter settlement patterns and reproductive success of an intraguild prey
The spatial distribution of predators is affected by intra- and interspecific interactions within the predator guild. Studying these interactions under fluctuating food availability, while taking habitat characteristics into account, offers a quasi-experimental set up to determine the relative impact of con- and heterospecifics on reproductive success of predators. We analyzed the settlement decisions and reproductive success of Eurasian pygmy owls (Glaucidium passerinum) in the presence of both breeding conspecifics and their competitor and intraguild predator, Tengmalm's owls (Aegolius funereus), under fluctuating abundance of their primary prey (voles). We used detailed data, collected across 11 years in a large study area (1300 km²), on the spatial and temporal variation of habitat characteristics in all available nesting sites, local densities of both species, and vole abundance. We found that pygmy owls strongly avoided breeding close to conspecifics but did not avoid Tengmalm's owl nests. Nest box occupation of pygmy owls was positively correlated to the proportion of old spruce, mature and old pine forests and farmlands, and occupation probability was higher at high vole abundance and in areas occupied in previous years. Pygmy owl avoidance of conspecifics decreased when voles were abundant. At high conspecific density, pygmy owls showed lower hatching success and delayed hatching date, in agreement with the observed spatial avoidance. Finally, even though breeding pygmy owls did not spatially avoid Tengmalm's owls, the density of heterospecifics correlated with low hatching and fledging success in pygmy owls. This suggests short term fitness costs when living close to competitors, even when lethal effects of intraguild interactions are subtle. Our results suggest that joint costs of exploitative and interference competition by Tengmalm's owls, as well as intraguild predation, were lower than those induced by intraspecific competition only. This result might be due to the similar body size between the species considered, Tengmalm's owls being only twice as large as pygmy owls. Interactions among con- and heterospecifics can therefore modify the spatial settlement and reproductive success of individuals on a landscape scale, also within the predator guild.
FIG. 2 in Contrasting marine larval settlement patterns imply habitat-seeking behaviours in a fouling and a cryptic species (phylum Bryozoa)
FIG. 2. Inferred laboratory behaviours and stylized ®eld distributions of (A) Schizoporella errata and (B) Plagioecia patina. Schizoporella errata colonies are indicated by striped areas and are shown attached to undersides of a boat and to shallow parts of a vertical man-made structure such as a piling or wall. Plagioecia patina colonies are indicated by cross-hatched areas and are shown attached to deep objects, including the underside of a shell resting on its concave surface. Larval swimming paths in the laboratory experiment are indicated by sequentially numbered arrows, the widths of which are roughly proportioned to the proportion of larvae following the path. Black rectangles represent dark conditions. Inferred stimuli are indicated by letters: p+, photopositive; p±, photonegative; g +, geopositive; g±, geonegative; go, possible neutral or counterbalancing responses that result in, on average, sustained horizontal swimming.
FIG. 1 in Contrasting marine larval settlement patterns imply habitat-seeking behaviours in a fouling and a cryptic species (phylum Bryozoa)
FIG. 1. Pattern of the panel that forms the back of the array of contiguous settlement chambers in the experiment. Cross-sectional pro®les of the 24 3-cm highÖ3-cm wideÖ15.5-cm long chambers are seen. Chambers on the left were dark and those on the right were lighted. Within each of the three levels (high, middle, low), each chamber in the lighted side had a unique ¯ow velocity through it determined by the size of the downstream opening (symbolized by the size of the circle within each square). Four elongate bounding surfaces de®ned each elongate chamber: a downward-facing ceiling, two lateral walls and an upward-facing ¯oor. Distance within the chambers is not portrayed in the ®gure, but each of the four elongate walls of chambers was examined and scored as three equal segments: the portion closest to the entrance (upstream end), the middle portion and the portion closest to the back panel (downstream end).
Distribution. Now restricted to the Channel Country of SW Queensland and the Lake Eyre Basin in NE South Australia. Descriptive notes. Head-body 95-120 mm, tail 105-160 mm, ear 23-29 mm, hindfoot 32-37 mm; weight 30-50 g. The Fawn Hopping Mouse has body form typical of hopping mice, with very long hindfeet, long tail with distal brush of longer hairs, very long ears, and large protruberant eyes. Dorsal fur is of variable color, from pale pinkish fawn to gray; ventral fur white. Unlike most other hopping mice, it has no throat pouch, but males have a glandular area of naked skin on the chest. Habitat. Occurs in low shrublands and tussock grasslands on stony ("gibber") plains and claypans. Shows marked habitat segregation from the Dusky Hopping Mouse (N. fuscus), which is closely associated with sandy substrates. Food and Feeding. The Fawn Hopping Mouse is mostly granivorous, but also eats other plant material (stems, leaves) and occasionally invertebrates. It uses succulent, salt-adapted plants around edges of claypans as a source of water. Breeding. Reproduction is probably largely opportunistic and aseasonal, with high reproductive output from near-continuous breeding after periods of high rainfall; reported littersize is 1-5, most commonly three; gestation period 38-43 days for nonlactating females. Females may mature later than other hopping mice, with reproductive maturity reached at about six months. Activity patterns. Terrestrial and nocturnal. Fawn Hopping Mice shelter during day in burrow systems that are typically simpler and shallower than those of other hopping mice. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Fawn Hopping Mice generally live singly or in small groups; typically uncommon within range, but population density may increase by an order of magnitude following periods of high rainfall. Status and Conservation. Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCN Red List. The Fawn Hopping Mouse has shown marked decline in range (estimated at greater than 50%), and presumably population size, since European settlement of Australia. This is mostlikely due to predation by the introduced house cat and Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), and to habitat degradation associated with pastoralism. Bibliography. Brazenor (1934), Burbidge et al.
