Differential Habitat Selection by Moose and Elk in the Besa-Prophet Area of Northern British Columbia
ALCES VOL. 44, 2008 GILLINGHAM AND PARKER – HABITAT SELECTION BY MOOSE AND ELK DIFFERENTIAL HABITAT SELECTION BY MOOSE AND ELK IN THE BESA-PROPHET AREA OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA Michael P. Gillingham and Katherine L. Parker Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Institute, University of Northern British Columbia, 3333 University Way, Prince George, British Columbia, Canada V2N 4Z9, email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Elk (Cervus elaphus) populations are increasing in the Besa-Prophet area of northern British Columbia, coinciding with the use of prescribed burns to increase quality of habitat for ungu- lates. Moose (Alces alces) and elk are now the 2 large-biomass species in this multi-ungulate, multi- predator system. Using global positioning satellite (GPS) collars on 14 female moose and 13 female elk, remote-sensing imagery of vegetation, and assessments of predation risk for wolves (Canis lupus) and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), we examined habitat use and selection. Seasonal ranges were typi- cally smallest for moose during calving and for elk during winter and late winter. Both species used largest ranges in summer. Moose and elk moved to lower elevations from winter to late winter, but subsequent calving strategies differed. During calving, moose moved to lowest elevations of the year, whereas elk moved back to higher elevations. Moose generally selected for mid-elevations and against steep slopes; for Stunted spruce habitat in late winter; for Pine-spruce in summer; and for Subalpine during fall and winter. Most recorded moose locations were in Pine-spruce during late winter, calv- ing, and summer, and in Subalpine during fall and winter. -

Nelson named the Yellowstone or Wyoming Moose A. alces shirasi 10. That original subspecies designation is now recognized as A. americanus shirasi, Shiras Moose, which is the only recognized subspecies of Moose in Wyoming and surrounding states. Three other recognized subspecies occur in distant portions of North America, with an additional 4 subspecies in Eurasia 6, 11.

Exploring Capabilities Within Fortrilinos by Solving the 3D Burgers Equation
Scientific Programming 20 (2012) 275–292 275 DOI 10.3233/SPR-2012-0353 IOS Press Exploring capabilities within ForTrilinos by solving the 3D Burgers equation Karla Morris a,∗, Damian W.I. Rouson a, M. Nicole Lemaster a and Salvatore Filippone b a Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, CA, USA b Università di Roma “Tor Vergata”, Roma, Italy Abstract. We present the first three-dimensional, partial differential equation solver to be built atop the recently released, open-source ForTrilinos package (http://trilinos.sandia.gov/packages/fortrilinos). ForTrilinos currently provides portable, object- oriented Fortran 2003 interfaces to the C++ packages Epetra, AztecOO and Pliris in the Trilinos library and framework [ACM Trans. Math. Softw. 31(3) (2005), 397–423]. Epetra provides distributed matrix and vector storage and basic linear algebra cal- culations. Pliris provides direct solvers for dense linear systems. AztecOO provides iterative sparse linear solvers. We demon- strate how to build a parallel application that encapsulates the Message Passing Interface (MPI) without requiring the user to make direct calls to MPI except for startup and shutdown. The presented example demonstrates the level of effort required to set up a high-order, finite-difference solution on a Cartesian grid. The example employs an abstract data type (ADT) calculus [Sci. Program. 16(4) (2008), 329–339] that empowers programmers to write serial code that lower-level abstractions resolve into distributed-memory, parallel implementations. The ADT calculus uses compilable Fortran constructs that resemble the mathe- matical formulation of the partial differential equation of interest.
