However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated. We determined to what extent existing data can be extrapolated to predict pop- ulation performance across larger sets of species and spatial areas. We used 550 matrix models, across 210 species, sourced from the COMPADRE Plant Matrix Database, to model how climate, geographic proximity and phylogeny predicted population performance.

  • Summer '01 "Hummingbird Celebration
    Friends of the Kern River Preserve Vol. Five, No. Two AUDUBON-CALIFORNIA 2001 Hummingbird Celebration Features Banding & Latest Research By Betsy Steele hose little sprites of the bird world—hummingbirds—are reliable charmers at the T preserve, especially in mid-summer. Darting around the feeders, dive-bombing interlopers, perching and preening, the hummingbirds go about their business within close range of quiet, delighted observers. Hummingbird photo & art by Alison Sheehey And for the past two years, the preserve has hosted special weekends to celebrate these tiny birds—six species of which can be seen here. This summer, the celebration will be on July 27-29 and August 3-5, with classes, slide shows, lectures, field trips and hummingbird banding. Donald Mitchell, a hummingbird specialist from the University of Minnesota, has been conducting research in the Kern Valley and surrounding mountains for several years. He is particularly interested in finding out how feeders may have affected the distribution and migratory habits of of hummingbirds. And he’s especially knowledgeable about Allen’s, having written the Birds of North America’s account on this species, which so closely resembles the rufous. See HUMMINGBIRD on page 2 “Birds of a Feather” Enjoyed Field Trip at This Year’s Bioregions Festival By Betsy Steele Feather sleuthing was the focus of a workshop held during the Bioregions Festival. Led by John Schmitt, Feathers in the Field was a fascinating foray into the chief characteristic that defines birds.

Drake Travis Idol ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As for inspiration, the foundation ofwho I am and my love for science, nature and life - all credit goes to Rindy Trauernicht. The first set ofthanks goes to my family, who has so often provided the means and the encouragement to pursue the many opportunities that have presented themselves over the course ofmy life so far. Many thanks also to my friends here in Hawai'i and elsewhere for their support and healthy amount ofdistraction. I must thank my advisor, Tamara Ticktin, for tracking me down to let me know that she wanted me to be her student. I am truly grateful for her invaluable contribution to my education as both teacher and friend. The other members ofmy committee, Don Drake and Travis Idol, provided helpful criticism and feedback concerning methodology, analyses and the eventual write-up ofthis thesis. Thanks also to Mark Merlin for throwing around ideas. Also, mahalo to Holli and Gerry in the Botany office-the entire department would fall apart without them. Thanks to all ofthe people who helped me in Mexico. First, gracias to the folks at El Proyecto Sierra de Santa Marta in Xalapa, Veracruz.
