Novel and Lost Forests in the Upper Midwestern United States, from New Estimates of Settlement-Era Composition, Stem Density, and Biomass
Goring, Simon J.; Mladenoff, David J.; Cogbill, Charles V.; Record, Sydne; Paciorek, Christopher J.; Jackson, Stephen T.; Dietze, Michael C.; Dawson, Andria; Matthes, Jaclyn Hatala; McLachlan, Jason S.; Williams, John W. (Public Library of Science, 2016)Background: EuroAmerican land-use and its legacies have transformed forest structure and composition across the United States (US). More accurate reconstructions of historical states are critical to understanding the ... -
Projecting Global Mangrove Species and Community Distributions under Climate Change
Record, Sydne; Charney, N. D.; Zakaria, R. M.; Ellison, Aaron M. (Ecological Society of America, 2013)Given the multitude of ecosystem services provided by mangroves, it is important to understand their potential responses to global climate change. Extensive reviews of the literature and manipulative experiments suggest ... -
Response of Macroarthropod Assemblages to the Loss of Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), a Foundation Species
Sackett, Tara E.; Record, Sydne; Bewick, Sharon; Baiser, Benjamin H.; Sanders, Nathan J.; Ellison, Aaron M. (Ecological Society of America, 2011)In eastern North American forests, eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a foundation species. As hemlock is lost from forests due to the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) and pre-emptive salvage logging, ... -
Should Species Distribution Models Account for Spatial Autocorrelation? A Test of Model Projections Across Eight Millennia of Climate Change
Record, Sydne; Fitzpatrick, Matthew C.; Finley, Andrew O.; Veloz, Sam; Ellison, Aaron M. (Wiley, 2013-03-12)Aim: The distributions of many organisms are spatially autocorrelated, but it is unclear whether including spatial terms in species distribution models (SDMs) improves projections of species distributions under climate ... -
Speeding Up Ecological and Evolutionary Computations in R; Essentials of High Performance Computing for Biologists
Visser, Marco D.; McMahon, Sean M.; Merow, Cory; Dixon, Philip M.; Record, Sydne; Jongejans, Eelke (Public Library of Science, 2015)Computation has become a critical component of research in biology. A risk has emerged that computational and programming challenges may limit research scope, depth, and quality. We review various solutions to common ...
