Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area
Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area Jeremy Beaulieu Lisa Andreano Michael Walgren Introduction The following is a guide to the common birds of the Estero Bay Area. Brief descriptions are provided as well as active months and status listings. Photos are primarily courtesy of Greg Smith. Species are arranged by family according to the Sibley Guide to Birds (2000). Gaviidae Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: A small loon seldom seen far from salt water. In the non-breeding season they have a grey face and red throat. They have a long slender dark bill and white speckling on their dark back. Information: These birds are winter residents to the Central Coast. Wintering Red- throated Loons can gather in large numbers in Morro Bay if food is abundant. They are common on salt water of all depths but frequently forage in shallow bays and estuaries rather than far out at sea. Because their legs are located so far back, loons have difficulty walking on land and are rarely found far from water. Most loons must paddle furiously across the surface of the water before becoming airborne, but these small loons can practically spring directly into the air from land, a useful ability on its artic tundra breeding grounds. Pacific Loon Gavia pacifica Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: The Pacific Loon has a shorter neck than the Red-throated Loon. The bill is very straight and the head is very smoothly rounded. -

Exotic Species and Temporal Variation in Hawaiian Floral Visitation Networks
Exotic Species and Temporal Variation in Hawaiian Floral Visitation Networks By Jennifer Lynn Imamura A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor George Roderick, Chair Professor Claire Kremen Professor Bruce Baldwin Spring 2019 Abstract Exotic Species and Temporal Variation in Hawaiian Floral Visitation Networks by Jennifer Lynn Imamura Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor George Roderick, Chair Many studies have documented the negative impact of invasive species on populations, communities, and ecosystems, although most have focused solely on antagonistic rather than mutualistic interactions. For mutualistic interactions, such as pollination, a key to understanding their impacts is how invasive species interact with native species and alter interaction networks. Chapter 1 explores the impacts of invasive species on islands, particularly in regard to plants, pollinators, and how these exotic species attach to existing pollination interaction networks. Island pollination networks differ from mainland counterparts in several important characteristics, including fewer species, more connectance, and increased vulnerability to both invasion and extinction. A progression of invasion has been previously proposed, through which supergeneralist native species -
The Long History and Current Digitization of the University of Hawaii Insect Museum
The long history and current digitization of the University of Hawaii Insect Museum Dan Rubinoff & Ryan Caesar Department of Plant & Environmental Protection Sciences Mission • The mission of the UHIM is to improve land management in the state of Hawaii by documenting and preserving a record of native and introduced terrestrial arthropods. • We serve the broader community by preserving, archiving, and expanding the collection to make a thorough representation of the Hawaiian and Pacific Island insect biodiversity. • We are a scientific research unit that emphasizes insect systematics, evolution and conservation. • Finally, we are a resource for education about the function and importance of natural history collections. Background • Originated in 1908 as a teaching collection, the same year the University was founded. • 2nd largest US holdings of Hawaiian insects. • (Bishop Museum, USNM, British Museum are the others) • Basis for seminal research program on evolution and speciation of Drosophilidae Overview of Holdings • Currently approx. 250,000 specimens • 1536 drawer capacity in 8*24 drawer cabinets • Actively adding specimens – E.g. UV light trapping bycatch • Room to grow: space for approx. 450 empty drawers • Records of arrival of invasives and last records of extinct (?) native species • Nearly 40 types, more to come as taxonomic work continues Size, taxonomic breadth, and specimen value of the UHIM by arthropod order (June 2009) -Native Order Non species Species with types Holotypes Plesiotypes Allotypes Paratypes Number Number -
The Living Soil-The Living Plant We Are All Interconnected and Related
Theme Two: The Living Soil-The Living Plant We Are All Interconnected and Related. Theme Two explores our connections to the living soil and plants that make life possible. Our very survival on Earth depends on our knowledge and care of the soil ecosystem. The Latin words humus, soil/earth, and homo, human being, have a common derivation, from which we also get our word “humble.” The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source of all food, fiber, seed, and oxygen production from the land. As children work in the school garden, they discover the connections and relationships they have with the living world, both seen and unseen. It is through these relationships that they become more engaged with learning and begin to care about preserving and protecting the Earth and themselves. Many of the sciences can be explored and discovered in the garden: soil biology, botany, entomology, hydrology, zoology, earth sciences, climatology, geography, and ecology are found in “gardenology.” The naturalist John Muir once said, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” So it is in the school garden.
