Pennings SC. Spatial and temporal variation in recruitment of Aplysia californica Cooper: Patterns, mechanisms and consequences. J. EXP. MAR. BIOL. ECOL 1991;146(2):253-274. Recruitment of the sea hare, Aplysia californica , was examined at 10 rocky reefs off the coast of Santa Catalina Island, CA, for up to 3 yrs or more. A. californica recruit primarily to the red alga Plocamium cartilagineum . Recruitment intensity (number of recruits/kg Plocamium ) differed dramatically but consistently between reefs, and varied between months. Recruitment during Jan- Feb probably consists of larvae spawned locally, in the Channel Islands area, during the summer peak in reproduction. Recruitment during Jun to Sept probably consists of larvae spawned in the Baja, California, Mexico, region which are carried north by summer currents. Reproduction is cued by high temperatures in the summer, and occurs over a large range of body sizes. Winter recruits that survive to the summer reproduce at masses of 500 g or more, while summer recruits reproduce the same season at masses of around 0.75 g. Survival of winter recruits is low, but survivors have high fecundity because of their large body size. The asynchronous seasonal reproductive patterns of Channel Island and Baja California populations may be important to the population dynamics of these populations since they are linked by a common larval pool. population dynamics/reproduction/marine molluscs/Aplysia california/Plocamium cartilagineum/seasonality/temporal variation/INE/USA/ California/Santa Catalina Island/IE/Mexico/Baja California/recruitment/ASFA. # 7. BERELSON W M. THE FLUSHING OF TWO DEEP-SEA BASINS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BORDERLAND. LIMNOL OCEANOGR36 (6). 1991. 1150-1166. DEP. GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, UNIV. SOUTH. CALIF., LOS ANGELES, CALIF. 90089-0740. BA. A time series of water temperature, salinity, and nutrient measurements has been made in San Pedro and San Nicolas Basins of the southern California borderland between 1977 and 1988. These basins exhibit temporally coincident changes in temperature and nutrient content defining a period of basin flushing (1982-1984) and a period of stagnation (1984-1987). During the flushing period, cooler, oxygen- and NO3--rich water replaces warmer, oxygen- and NO3--depleted bottom water. Flushing produces a decrease of 0.2.degree.C in the average temperatures of San Pedro Basin bottom water (790-900 m) and an increase in the average oxygen content by 12 .mu.M. These values are 0.1 and 3 for San Nicolas Basin (1,400-1,800 m). The residence time of water in San Pedro Basin during the flushing period is 12 .+-. 6 months and 9 .+-. 2 months in San Nicolas Basin. A box model approach, constrained by the time-series data for the stagnation period, was used to determine values of the effective vertical eddy diffusivities for the 790-m horizon in San Pedro Basin and 1,400-m horizon in San Nicolas Basin (1.3 .+-. 0.4 and 9.9 .+-. 3.4 cm2 s-1 respectively).

  • Rethinking Easter Island's Ecological Catastrophe
    ARTICLE IN PRESS + MODEL Journal of Archaeological Science xx (2006) 1e18 http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jas Rethinking Easter Island’s ecological catastrophe Terry L. Hunt Department of Anthropology, University of Hawai’i-Manoa, 2424 Maile Way Honolulu, HI 96822, USA Received 25 June 2006; received in revised form 1 October 2006; accepted 2 October 2006 Abstract Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has become a paragon for prehistoric human induced ecological catastrophe and cultural collapse. A popular nar- rative recounts an obsession for monumental statuary that led to the island’s ecological devastation and the collapse of the ancient civilization. Scholars offer this story as a parable of today’s global environmental problems. In this paper, I review new and emerging Rapa Nui evidence, compare ecological and recently acquired palaeo-environmental data from the Hawaiian and other Pacific Islands, and offer some perspectives for the island’s prehistoric ecological transformation and its consequences. The evidence points to a complex historical ecology for the island; one best explained by a synergy of impacts, particularly the devastating effects of introduced rats (Rattus exulans). This perspective questions the simplistic notion of reckless over-exploitation by prehistoric Polynesians and points to the need for additional research. Ó 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Reliable and up- to-date information on the state of forest resources - not only on area and area change, but also on such variables as growing stock, wood and non-wood products, carbon, protected areas, use of forests for recreation and other services, biological diversity and forests’ contribution to national economies - is crucial to support decision-making for policies and programmes in forestry and sustainable development at all levels. FAO, at the request of its member countries, regularly monitors the world’s forests and their management and uses through the Forest Resources Assessment Programme. This country report forms part of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2005 (FRA 2005), which is the most comprehensive assessment to date. More than 800 people have been involved, including 172 national correspondents and their colleagues, an Advisory Group, international experts, FAO staff, consultants and volunteers. Information has been collated from 229 countries and territories for three points in time: 1990, 2000 and 2005. The reporting framework for FRA 2005 is based on the thematic elements of sustainable forest management acknowledged in intergovernmental forest-related fora and includes more than 40 variables related to the extent, condition, uses and values of forest resources.

Location of work: Santa Rosa Plain, Sonoma County, California 2. Background: Burke’s goldfield (Lasthenia burkei), a small, slender annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is known only from southern portions of Lake and Mendocino counties and from northeastern Sonoma County. Historically, 39 populations were known from the Santa Rosa Plain, two sites in Lake County, and one site in Mendocino County. The occurrence in Mendocino County is most likely extirpated. From north to south on the Santa Rosa Plain, the species ranges from north of the community of Windsor to east of the city of Sebastopol. The long-term viability of many populations of Burke’s goldfields is particularly problematic due to population decline. There are currently 20 known extant populations, a subset of which were inoculated into pools at constructed sites to mitigate the loss of natural populations in the context of development.
