    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • PREDICTIVE ECOLOGICAL MODELING of GREY WOLF (Canis Lupus)
    PREDICTIVE ECOLOGICAL MODELING OF GREY WOLF (Canis lupus) MOVEMENT USING AGENT-BASED MODELING AND GIS by ALYSSA C. TEWS B.S., Rhodes College, 2016 A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography and Environmental Studies 2020 0 © 2020 ALYSSA C. TEWS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i This thesis for the Master of Arts degree by Alyssa C. Tews has been approved for the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies by Steve Jennings, Chair David Havlick Diep Dao Date: December 15, 2020 ii Tews, Alyssa C. (M.A., Applied Geography) Predictive ecological modeling of grey wolf (Canis lupus) movement using agent-based modeling and GIS Thesis directed by Associate Professor Steve Jennings, Emeritus ABSTRACT There is a wide-spread loss of large predators being witnessed across ecosystems globally. The large, apex predators are either displaced from habitat destruction, or killed directly by anthropogenic disturbances. We need apex predators for tri-trophic cascades, mesopredator control, and to promote biodiversity in ecosystems. Previous ecology research highlights how a tri-trophic cascade, or a series of dynamic interactions between predator, prey, and vegetation, is vital for allowing the ecosystem to be resilient and sustainable to disturbances. Technology equips us with new methods of exploring ecosystem functions, animal behavior, and how changing landscapes affect animal movement. By constructing an ABM for grey wolves in North America, we experimented with different predator efficiencies to test how grey wolves could possibly recolonize Moffat County, Colorado. Results from the ABM showed patterns of wolf occupation along low-elevation, river valleys, the wolves did not impact or disrupt prey population demographics, and wolves were able to recolonize the region despite the different predator efficiencies.
