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.

  • Aerial Survey Highlights for Colorado 2014
    Aerial Survey Highlights for Colorado 2014 Aerial detection surveys of tree killing or damaging insects and diseases are conducted annually over Colorado’s forest lands. This is a cooperative effort between the US Forest Service and the Colorado State Forest Service. In 2014, 28 million acres were surveyed by 7 trained federal and state surveyors. Highlights of the survey by damage agent are reported below. In 2014, all reported agents are insects that kill and/or defoliate trees. This report includes only forest damage that is visible from the air. Spruce Beetle • Since 1996, spruce beetle has affected approximately 1,397,000 acres to varying degrees in Colorado. • Spruce beetle activity was detected on 485,000 acres in Colorado in 2014. Of these, 253,000 acres are in areas not previously mapped as having spruce beetle activity (new acres). This epidemic continues to expand rapidly (Figures 1, 2). In some areas, the outbreak has moved through entire drainages in the course of one year. In the most heavily impacted drainages, nearly every mature spruce has been killed (Figure 3). • The spruce beetle epidemic is expanding most rapidly in southern Colorado’s Forests and impacts many thousands of acres. Areas affected are found from the La Garita Wilderness Area to north of Cottonwood Pass, the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains, as well as south to the Colorado border and into New Mexico. Aerial survey in south central Colorado showed spruce beetle epidemics expanded on the San Juan (26,000 new acres on 53,000 active acres), Rio Grande (78,000 new acres on 192,000 active acres), Gunnison (54,000 new acres on 79,000 active acres), and San Isabel (26,000 new acres on 31,000 active acres) National Forests.

  • Research on Hazardous Chemical Road Transportation Route Optimization Based on the New Ant Colony Algorithm
    1375 A publication of CHEMICAL ENGINEERING TRANSACTIONS VOL. 62, 2017 The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering Online at www.aidic.it/cet Guest Editors: Fei Song, Haibo Wang, Fang He Copyright © 2017, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. ISBN 978-88-95608- 60-0; ISSN 2283-9216 DOI: 10.3303/CET1762230 Research on Hazardous Chemical Road Transportation Route Optimization Based on the New Ant Colony Algorithm Duan Zheng Xi’an International University, Xi’an 710077, China [email protected] With the acceleration of industrialization in China, the output and transportation volume of hazardous chemical have increased dramatically. On the one hand, chemical has injected new vitality into the social and economic development. On the other hand, the safety of hazardous chemical has also been highlighted. According to statistics, hazardous chemical accidents in transportation links accounted for 35% of hazardous chemical accidents. Hazardous chemical transportation accident belongs to the low probability and serious consequence event. Once hazardous chemical accident occurs, it will cause great losses to people's lives, property and ecological environment. The hazardous chemical road transportation security question becomes the question which the people pay close attention to. In order to reduce hazardous chemical transportation accidents, we study the hazardous chemical transportation route optimization. In this paper, we propose an improved ant colony algorithm. The improved ant colony algorithm not only considers the transportation time and transportation risk, but also improves its algorithm settings. The improved algorithm is more suitable for optimizing the path of hazardous chemical. The experiments in this paper also verify the effectiveness and reliability of the improved algorithm.

  • Denudation History and Internal Structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, Based on Apatite-Fission-Track Thermoc
    NEW MEXICO BUREAU OF GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES, BULLETIN 160, 2004 41 Denudation history and internal structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, based on apatite­fission­track thermochronology 1 2 1Department of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801Shari A. Kelley and Charles E. Chapin 2New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract An apatite fission­track (AFT) partial annealing zone (PAZ) that developed during Late Cretaceous time provides a structural datum for addressing questions concerning the timing and magnitude of denudation, as well as the structural style of Laramide deformation, in the Front Range and Wet Mountains of Colorado. AFT cooling ages are also used to estimate the magnitude and sense of dis­ placement across faults and to differentiate between exhumation and fault­generated topography. AFT ages at low elevationX along the eastern margin of the southern Front Range between Golden and Colorado Springs are from 100 to 270 Ma, and the mean track lengths are short (10–12.5 µm). Old AFT ages (> 100 Ma) are also found along the western margin of the Front Range along the Elkhorn thrust fault. In contrast AFT ages of 45–75 Ma and relatively long mean track lengths (12.5–14 µm) are common in the interior of the range. The AFT ages generally decrease across northwest­trending faults toward the center of the range. The base of a fossil PAZ, which separates AFT cooling ages of 45– 70 Ma at low elevations from AFT ages > 100 Ma at higher elevations, is exposed on the south side of Pikes Peak, on Mt.

  • Exploring Ant-Based Algorithms for Gene Expression Data Analysis
    Exploring Ant-Based Algorithms for Gene Expression Data Analysis Yulan Hea,∗, Siu Cheung Huib aSchool of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, University of Exeter North Park Road, Exeter EX4 4QF, UK bSchool of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Nanyang Avenue, Singapore 639798 Summary Objective: Recently, much research has been proposed using nature inspired al- gorithms to perform complex machine learning tasks. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is one such algorithm based on swarm intelligence and is derived from a model inspired by the collective foraging behavior of ants. Taking advantage of the ACO in traits such as self-organization and robustness, this paper investi- gates ant-based algorithms for gene expression data clustering and associative classification. Methods and Material: An ant-based clustering (Ant-C) and an ant-based as- sociation rule mining (Ant-ARM) algorithms are proposed for gene expression data analysis. The proposed algorithms make use of the natural behavior of ants such as cooperation and adaptation to allow for a flexible robust search for a good candidate solution. ∗Corresponding author.

Email addresses: [email protected] (Yulan He), [email protected] (Siu Cheung Hui) Preprint submitted to Elsevier January 25, 2013 Results: Ant-C has been tested on the three datasets selected from the Stanford Genomic Resource Database and achieved relatively high accuracy compared to other classical clustering methods. Ant-ARM has been tested on the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) / acute myeloid leukemia (AML) dataset and generated about 30 classification rules with high accuracy. Conclusions: Ant-C can generate optimal number of clusters without incor- porating any other algorithms such as K-means or agglomerative hierarchical clustering.

  • The Ant-Colony As an Organism 309
    THE XNT-COLONY -4s AX ORGANISM’ As a zoologist, reared among what are now rapidly coming to be regarded as antiquated ideals, I confess to a feeling of great diffidence in addressing an audience so thoroughly versed in the very latest as well as the very oldest biological facts, methods and hypotheses. I feel, indeed, like some village potter who is bring- ing to the market of the metropolis a pitiable sample of his craft, a pot of some old-fashioned design, possibly with a concealed crack which may prevent it from ringing true. Although in what I have to say, I shall strenuously endeavor to be modern, I can only beg you, if I fail to come within hailing distance of the advance guard of present day zoologists, to remember that the range of adaptability in all organisms, even in zoologists, is very limited. Under the circumstances, my only hope lies in appealing to our permanent common biological interests and these, I take it, must always center in the organism. But the point of view from which we study this most extraordinary of nature’s manifestations, is continually shifting. Twenty years ago we were captivated by the morphology of the organism, now its behavior occupies the foreground of our attention. Once we thought we were seriously studying biology when we were scrutinizing paraffine sections of animals and plants or dried specimens mounted on pins or pressed between layers of blotting paper; now we are sure that we were studying merely the exuviae of organisms, the effete residua of the life-process.

  • The Routt National Forest
    100 YEARS OF CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC SERVICE ON THE ROUTT NATIONAL FOREST The Early History of Forest Reserves and National Forests that formed the Routt National Forest by Mary Peterson, Forest Supervisor 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of conservation and public service for the Forest Service nationally! The Routt National Forest has also been the result of a long and colorful history in the last 100+ years! Over the next year, I’d like to share with you some of this great history of the Routt National Forest in a series of articles to celebrate our Centennial. The Routt National Forest is comprised of the dramatic and beautiful Park, Gore, Medicine Bow, Elkhead, and Flat Tops Mountain Ranges. Fortunately for us today, the beauty and resources of these mountain ranges were recognized by early conservation leaders and were set aside as forest reserves, national forests, and a national park. Over the last 100+ years, the current Routt National Forest experienced several boundary and name changes. Following is a brief reconstruction of those changes. The current Routt National Forest was produced from the entire Park Range Forest Reserve and portions of the Medicine Bow, Sierra Madre, and White River Plateau Forest Reserves, established respectively in 1905, 1902, 1906, and 1891. By an Act of Congress approved March 4, 1907, the forest reserves were renamed “national forests”, thus resulting in the creation of the Park Range, Medicine Bow, Sierra Madre, and White River National Forests. Portions of the current Routt National Forest contained portions of these four "early" national forests as well as portions of the Hayden, Colorado, and Arapaho National Forests, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
