Report of the second meeting of the CFMC/OSPESCA/WECAFC/CRFM Working Group on Queen Conch, Panama City, Panama, 18–20 November 2014. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Report No. 1097, Bridgetown, Barbados, FAO. 229 pp. ABSTRACT The second meeting of the CFMC/OSPESCA/WECAFC/CRFM Working Group on Queen Conch was held in Panama City, Panama, from 18 to 20 November 2014. The meeting followed up on decisions by the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of Parties of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and a recommendation from the fifteenth session of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC). The meeting reviewed a draft Regional Queen Conch Management and Conservation Plan with 26 potential fisheries management measures, and determined which measures will contribute most to the sustainability of the stocks and livelihoods of those involved in queen conch fisheries in the region. The meeting reached expert agreement on the use of regional harmonized conversion factors for the various degrees of processing of conch meat and on a format for non-detriment findings (NDFs) assessments. The meeting also updated the Terms of Reference of the Working Group and prepared a new work plan. The conclusions and draft recommendation from the Working Group will be reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Group and forwarded to the sixteenth session of WECAFC and important meetings of partner agencies for their endorsement. The working group meeting was attended by 55 fisheries and CITES authority delegates from 22 countries and territories. The meeting was facilitated by the Caribbean Fisheries Management Council, CITES and FAO. 3 CONTENTS Page OPENING OF THE MEETING 5 ATTENDANCE 5 ELECTION OF CHAIRPERSONS AND RAPPORTEURS 5 ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA 5 INTRODUCTION OF THE WORKING GROUP 5 QUEEN CONCH DEVELOPMENTS AT CITES 8 QUEEN CONCH FISHERIES STATUS AND MANAGEMENT IN CRFM MEMBER 10 STATES QUEEN CONCH FISHERIES STATUS AND MANAGEMENT IN OSPESCA MEMBER 13 STATES QUEEN CONCH FISHERIES STATUS AND MANAGEMENT IN OTHER WECAFC 14 MEMBER STATES NON-DETRIMENT FINDINGS 17 CONVERSION FACTORS 20 FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION PLAN 21 BREAK-OUT WORKING GROUP DISCUSIONS 26 GENTIC RESEARCH ON QUEEN CONCH 27 TERMS OF REFERENCE, CONVENER AND WORKPLAN 27 CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND NEXT STEPS 27 ANY OTHER MATTERS 28 DATE AND PLACE OF THE NEXT MEETING 28 CLOSURE OF THE MEETING 28 APPENDIX 1 Agenda 29 APPENDIX 2 List of participants 30 APPENDIX 3 Summary of conclusions 35 APPENDIX 4 Draft Recommendation 37 APPENDIX 5 References to the CRFM Queen Conch fisheries status and management 39 report APPENDIX 6 NDF Guideline format 41 APPENDIX 7 Conversion factors 100 APPENDIX 8 Terms of Reference (Period 2015 - 2018) 126 APPENDIX 9 Work Plan 129 ANNEX I: NATIONAL STATUS REPORTS OF QUEEN CONCH FISHERIES 131 4 OPENING OF THE MEETING 1.

Wittmann, Wilfried Gabriel, Dirk Metzler 4 Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit¨at M¨unchen, Department Biology II 82152 Planegg-Martinsried, Germany 6 Running title: Allee effect and genetic diversity Keywords: family size, founder effect, genetic diversity, introduced species, stochastic modeling 8 Corresponding author: Meike J. Wittmann Present address: Stanford University 10 Department of Biology 385 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305-5020, USA 12 [email protected] 1 Copyright 2014. Abstract 14 A strong demographic Allee effect in which the expected population growth rate is nega- tive below a certain critical population size can cause high extinction probabilities in small 16 introduced populations. But many species are repeatedly introduced to the same location and eventually one population may overcome the Allee effect by chance. With the help of 18 stochastic models, we investigate how much genetic diversity such successful populations har- bor on average and how this depends on offspring-number variation, an important source of 20 stochastic variability in population size. We find that with increasing variability, the Allee effect increasingly promotes genetic diversity in successful populations. Successful Allee-effect 22 populations with highly variable population dynamics escape rapidly from the region of small population sizes and do not linger around the critical population size. Therefore, they are 24 exposed to relatively little genetic drift. It is also conceivable, however, that an Allee effect itself leads to an increase in offspring-number variation.

  • The Impact of Fragmented Habitat's Size and Shape on Populations
    Math. Model. Nat. Phenom. Vol. 11, No. 4, 2016, pp. 5–15 DOI: 10.1051/mmnp/201611402 The Impact of Fragmented Habitat’s Size and Shape on Populations with Allee Effect W. G. Alharbi, S. V. Petrovskii ∗ Department of Mathematics, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK Abstract. This study aims to explore the ways in which population dynamics are affected by the shape and size of fragmented habitats. Habitat fragmentation has become a key concern in ecology over the past 20 years as it is thought to increase the threat of extinction for a number of plant and animal species; particularly those close to the fragment edge. In this study, we consider this issue using mathematical modelling and computer simulations in several domains of various shape and with different strength of the Allee effect. A two-dimensional reaction-diffusion equation (taking the Allee effect into account) is used as a model. Extensive simulations are performed in order to determine how the boundaries impact the population persistence. Our results indicate the following: (i) for domains of simple shape (e.g. rectangle), the effect of the critical patch size (amplified by the Allee effect) is similar to what is observed in 1D space, in particular, the likelihood of population survival is determined by the interplay between the domain size and thee strength of the Allee effect; (ii) in domains of complicated shape, for the population to survive, the domain area needs to be larger than the area of the corresponding rectangle. Hence, it can be concluded that domain size and shape both have crucial effect on population survival.

  • Answers to Exercise 29 Harvest Models
    Answers to Exercise 29 Harvest Models Fixed-Quota versus Fixed-Effort: First Questions QUESTIONS 1. What are the effects of different values of R and K on catches and population sizes in the two harvest models? 2. What are the effects of different values of Q on catches and population size in the population harvested under a fixed quota scheme? 3. What are the effects of different values of E on catches and population size in the population harvested under a fixed quota scheme? 4. How does the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) relate to R and/or K? 5. Is there any difference between fixed-quota and fixed-effort harvesting in terms of risk of driving the harvested population to extinction? ANSWERS 1. Change R by entering different values into cell B6. Change K by entering different values into cell B7. Your changes will be automatically echoed in the models. After each change, examine your spreadsheet, your graph of population size and harvest, and your graphs of recruitment curve and quota or effort line. Try changing K from 2000 to 4000, leaving R at 0.50. You should see that the catch remains unchanged at 250 individuals per time period in the fixed quota scheme. This is hardly surprising, because that's the nature of a fixed quota—it does not change. The catch in the fixed effort scheme starts at 1000 and declines to an equilibrium of 500, which is twice the catch in the fixed effort harvest with the original carrying capacity of 2000. Your graph of the recruitment curve and fixed quota now shows the quota line (horizontal line) crossing the recruitment curve at two points, in contrast to just touching the recruitment curve at its peak with the original value of K.

Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Jeff Gore Kevin Connor Axelrod Bistable dynamics in microbial ecology and systems biology Abstract Bistability, in which a system has two stable states, is a common property of many dynamic systems. This thesis explores the properties of such systems across a range of length scales, from gene circuits to ecosystems. Cells often store memories of environmental stimuli using bistable gene circuits. High fidelity memory storage requires that a state has a long lifetime. However, an underappreciated aspect of stable memory is that the distance from a bifurcation could determine how sensitive a state is to perturbations in the extracellular environment.

  • (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Fecundity
    ECOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR The Effect of Male and Female Age on Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Fecundity PATRICK C. TOBIN,1,2 JOSHUA L. BOLYARD,1 KSENIA S. ONUFRIEVA,3 3 AND ANDREA D. HICKMAN J. Econ. Entomol. 107(3): 1076Ð1083 (2014); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/EC13561 ABSTRACT Insects that reproduce sexually must locate a suitable mate, and many species have evolved efÞcient communication mechanisms to Þnd each other. The number of reproductively viable individuals in a population can be an important constraint in the growth of populations. One factor that can affect insect fecundity is the age of mating adults, as fecundity tends to decline with age. Field observations collected annually on Lymantria dispar (L.) from 2001 to 2007 and 2009 consistently revealed a small proportion of egg masses (generally Ͻ10% in each year) in which Ͼ0 but Ͻ5% of eggs were fertilized in an egg mass consisting of Ϸ200Ð500 eggs. In these studies, male age was unknown but female age was Þxed at Ͻ24 h, which, according to previous studies on the effect of female L. dispar age on reproductive success, should have been optimal for fertilization. In this article, we analyzed Þeld data (2001Ð2007 and 2009) to explore patterns in the occurrence of low-fertilized egg masses. We supplemented these data with laboratory experiments that examined the interacting role of male and female age, and multiple male matings. We observed that increases in male and female age reduce the rate of fertilization, which is furthermore reduced, as males mate multiple times as they age. This article highlights the importance of both female and male age at the time of mating in an invading species, with ramiÞcations to low-density populations in this and other sexually reproducing insect species.
