ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES and PASSERINE DIET: EFFECTS of SHRUB EXPANSION in WESTERN ALASKA by Molly Tankersley Mcdermott, B.A./B.S
Arthropod communities and passerine diet: effects of shrub expansion in Western Alaska Item Type Thesis Authors McDermott, Molly Tankersley Download date 26/09/2021 06:13:39 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/7893 ARTHROPOD COMMUNITIES AND PASSERINE DIET: EFFECTS OF SHRUB EXPANSION IN WESTERN ALASKA By Molly Tankersley McDermott, B.A./B.S. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity. -

(e-mail: john. brown @ars.usda.gov ) Abstract.—Clepsis anderslaneyii, new species is described and illustrated from the "sky islands" (i.e., Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita mountains) of southeastern Arizona, U.S.A. Superficially, it is most similar to Argvrotac'nia dorsafana (Dyar 1903), but it is assigned unambiguously to Clepsis Guenée on the basis of the characteristically modified transtilla, which includes a narrow or obsolete mesal portion and a dentate subbasal swollen lobe. Among Nearctic congeners, the male genitalia of C. anderslanevii are most similar to those of C. fucana (Walsingham 1879), but those of C anderslanevii can be distinguished by the more broadly pointed valva, narrower transtilla, bulbous uncus, and broader tegumen. The extremely short ductus bursae of the female genitalia of C. andersianevu is unique among Clepsis.

Study on the Coniferous Characters of Pinus Yunnanensis and Its Clustering Analysis
Journal of Polymer Science and Engineering (2017) Original Research Article Study on the Coniferous Characters of Pinus yunnanensis and Its Clustering Analysis Zongwei Zhou,Mingyu Wang,Haikun Zhao Huangshan Institute of Botany, Anhui Province, China ABSTRACT Pine is a relatively easy genus for intermediate hybridization. It has been widely believed that there should be a natural hybrid population in the distribution of Pinus massoniona Lamb. and Pinus hangshuanensis Hsia, that is, the excessive type of external form between Pinus massoniana and Pinus taiwanensis exist. This paper mainly discusses the traits and clustering analysis of coniferous lozeng in Huangshan scenic area. This study will provide a theoretical basis for the classification of long and outstanding Huangshan Song and so on. At the same time, it will provide reference for the phenomenon of gene seepage between the two species. KEYWORDS: Pinus taiwanensis Pinus massoniana coniferous seepage clustering Citation: Zhou ZW, Wang MY, ZhaoHK, et al.

Introduction 1.1. Research background Huangshan Song distribution in eastern China’s subtropical high mountains, more than 700m above sea level. Masson pine is widely distributed in the subtropical regions of China, at the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, vertically distributed below 700m above sea level, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River area, the vertical height of up to 1200 - 1500m or so. In the area of Huangshan Song and Pinus massoniana, an overlapping area of Huangshan Song and Pinus massoniana was formed between 700 - 1000m above sea level. -
Evaluation of the Development of Rural Inclusive Finance: a Case Study of Baoding, Hebei Province
2018 4th International Conference on Economics, Management and Humanities Science(ECOMHS 2018) Evaluation of the Development of Rural Inclusive Finance: A Case Study of Baoding, Hebei province Ziqi Yang1, Xiaoxiao Li1 Hebei Finance University, Baoding, Hebei Province, China Keywords: inclusive finance; evaluation; rural inclusive finance; IFI index method Abstract: "Inclusive Finance", means that everyone has financial needs to access high-quality financial services at the right price in a timely and convenient manner with dignity. This paper uses IFI index method to evaluate the development level of rural inclusive finance in various counties of Baoding, Hebei province in 2016, and finds that rural inclusive finance in each country has a low level of development, banks and other financial institutions have few branches and product types, the farmers in that area have conservative financial concepts and rural financial service facilities are not perfect. In response to these problems, it is proposed to increase the development of inclusive finance; encourage financial innovation; establish financial concepts and cultivate financial needs; improve broadband coverage and accelerate the popularization of information. 1. Introduction "Inclusive Finance", means that everyone with financial needs to access high-quality financial services at the right price in a timely and convenient manner with dignity.

Aarvik, Târnveien 6, N-1430 As, Norway ; K. Larsen, Niels Frederiksensalle 21, DK-2700 Bronshoj, Denmark. Summary On the basis of several Ö and ç specimens collected by the authors in northern Norway in 1982 it is stated that Clepsis mehli (Opheim, 1964) is a separate and valid species. In 1964 Opheim described mehli on the basis of a single specimen from northern Norway, but later Razowski (1979) changed its status to subspecies rank of the Japanese species Clepsis insignata Oku, 1963. Imago and genitalia of both sexes of the Clepsis species most related to mehli namely C. tannuolana Kostjuk, 1973 andC. insignata are figured and compared. C. mehli is more closely related to tannuolana than to insignata. Remarks on the variation and habitat of mehli are given. The description of Clepsis mehli (Opheim, 1964) was based on a single male from northern Norway: Fn : Vardo, 20.VÜ.1 962 (R. Mehl, coll. Zoological Museum, Oslo). It was described in the genus Epagoge Hb. (Opheim, 1964). The second specimen of mehli, also a male, was found in northern Norway as well: Fi: Rafsnes, primo.vii.1979 (J. -
