description: Two-dimensional ferroelectrics (FEs) are promising in the miniaturization of memory devices with ultra-high-density data storage and low power consumption. However, many thiophosphate monolayers, i.e., analogs of CuInP$_2$S$_6$ and referred to as ABP$_2$X$_6$, lose ferroelectricity and instead exhibit an antiferroelectric (AFE) or paraelectric ordering. We propose to tune the AFE ABP$_2$X$_6$ monolayers into the FE ordering through interface engineering. The mechanism is that there are couplings between the charge polarizations of the ABP$_2$X$_6$ monolayers and the local dipoles as well as the induced electronic polarizations in the substrate which have a tendency to stabilize the FE ordering. We further perform first-principles calculations for CuInP$_2$Se$_6$ and CuCrP$_2$S$_6$ monolayers and their van der Waals heterostructures. We find that an AFE CuInP$_2$Se$_6$ monolayer becomes FE as interfaced with graphene, MoS$_2$, and h-BN monolayers. In contrast, the CuCrP$_2$S$_6$ monolayer remains AFE since there is a large energy difference between the AFE and FE phases. Interfacing it with a MoTe$_2$ monolayer induces a metal-insulator transition for the heterostructure, whereas interfacing with a polar surface MgO(111) can drive it into FE. The interfacing effect can also be used to manipulate the FE properties of ABP$_2$X$_6$ multilayers. We further find that the AFE-to-FE transition is electrically switchable in these systems. In particular, it is accompanied by an indirect-direct band-gap transition for the CuInP$_2$Se$_6$ monolayer. Our study offers an effective approach to tune the FE and electronic properties of ABP$_2$X$_6$ thin films for applications in electronics and optoelectronics.

description: A unified theoretical treatment is presented to describe the physics of electron dynamics in semiconductor and graphene systems. Electron spin fast alignment with the Zeeman magnetic field (physical or effective) is treated as a form of adiabatic spin evolution which necessarily generates a monopole in magnetic space. One could transform this monopole into the physical and intuitive topological magnetic fields in the useful momentum (K) or real spaces (R). The physics of electron dynamics related to spin Hall, torque, oscillations and other technologically useful spinor effects can be inferred from the topological magnetic fields in spintronic, graphene and other SU(2) systems.

description: We study the weak-tunnelling limit for a system of cold 40K atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice close to an s-wave Feshbach resonance. We calculate the local spectrum for three atoms at one site of the lattice within a two-channel model. Our results indicate that, for this one-dimensional system, one- and two-channel models will differ close to the Feshbach resonance, although the two theories would converge in the limit of strong Feshbach coupling. We also find level crossings in the low-energy spectrum of a single well with three atoms that may lead to quantum phase transition for an optical lattice of many wells. We discuss the stability of the system to a phase with non-uniform density.

title: Detecting Malicious Campaigns in Crowdsourcing Platforms
Creators: name: Choi, Hongkyu
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Crowdsourcing systems enable new opportunities for requesters with limited funds to accomplish various tasks using human computation. However, the power of human computation is abused by malicious requesters who create malicious campaigns to manipulate information in web systems such as social networking sites, online review sites, and search engines. To mitigate the impact and reach of these malicious campaigns to targeted sites, we propose and evaluate a machine learning based classification approach for detecting malicious campaigns in crowdsourcing platforms as a first line of defense, and build a malicious campaign blacklist service for targeted site providers, researchers and users.
Specifically, we (i) conduct a comprehensive analysis to understand the characteristics of malicious campaigns and legitimate campaigns in crowdsourcing platforms, (ii) propose various features to distinguish between malicious campaigns and legitimate campaigns, (iii) evaluate a classification approach against baselines, and (iv) build a malicious campaign blacklist service. Our experimental results show that our proposed approaches effectively detect malicious campaigns with low false negative and false positive rates.

title: To What Extent Might Beaver Dam Building Buffer Water Storage Losses Associated with a Declining Snowpack?
Creators: name: Hafen, Konrad
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Dam building activity by North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) alters the timing and delivery of stream water and facilitates groundwater infiltration, overall increasing natural water storage behind and adjacent to dams. At the stream reach scale, increased water storage often alters hydrologic regimes by attenuating annual, and storm-event hydrographs, and increasing base flows. In the montane west, the most important water storage reservoirs are not human-made dams, but mountain snowpack, which slowly releases water through a mix of runoff and infiltration. Given estimates of decreasing snowpack with warming temperatures, beaver dams could provide a conceptually similar function to snowpack by delaying the delivery of precipitation by increasing surface and groundwater storage, thus lengthening residence time as water travels downstream. However, lack of predictive methods for modeling storage increases associated with relatively small magnitude beaver ponds at large spatial scales has precluded further investigation of this hypothesis. I address this knowledge gap by supplementing existing empirical data regarding the height of beaver dams and implement these empirical height distributions to develop the Beaver Dam Surface Water Estimation Algorithm (Chapter 2), a predictive model estimating beaver pond water storage that can be applied spatially at large scales. I then apply this model to estimate potential surface water storage and parameterize a groundwater model to estimate resulting groundwater storage increases for the entire Bear River basin under four different beaver dam capacity scenarios (Chapter 3). Estimated water storage changes from beaver dams are presented in the context of expected reductions in average annual maximum snow water equivalent, and existing and proposed reservoir storage within the basin. While the water storage provided by beaver dams is only a small fraction of expected snow water equivalent loss, it is not insubstantial and may prove beneficial for ecosystems where human-made reservoirs are not available to regulate hydrologic regimes. These results also stress the importance of further research examining how the cumulative effects of dams may affect the timing of runoff under changing precipitation regimes.
title: Combinatorial Games on Graphs
Creators: name: Williams, Trevor K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Combinatorial games are intriguing and have a tendency to engross students and lead them into a serious study of mathematics. The engaging nature of games is the basis for this thesis. Two combinatorial games along with some educational tools were developed in the pursuit of the solution of these games.
The game of Nim is at least centuries old, possibly originating in China, but noted in the 16th century in European countries. It consists of several stacks of tokens, and two players alternate taking one or more tokens from one of the stacks, and the player who cannot make a move loses. The formal and intense study of Nim culminated in the celebrated Sprague-Grundy Theorem, which is now one of the centerpieces in the theory of impartial combinatorial games. We study a variation on Nim, played on a graph. Graph Nim, for which the theory of Sprague-Grundy does not provide a clear strategy, was originally developed at the University of Colorado Denver. Graph Nim was first played on graphs of three vertices.
The winning strategy, and losing position, of three vertex Graph Nim has been discovered, but we will expand the game to four vertices and develop the winning strategies for four vertex Graph Nim.
Graph Theory is a markedly visual field of mathematics. It is extremely useful for graph theorists and students to visualize the graphs they are studying. There exists software to visualize and analyze graphs, such as SAGE, but it is often extremely difficult to learn how use such programs. The tools in GeoGebra make pretty graphs, but there is no automated way to make a graph or analyze a graph that has been built. Fortunately GeoGebra allows the use of JavaScript in the creation of buttons which allow us to build useful Graph Theory tools in GeoGebra. We will discuss two applets we have created that can be used to help students learn some of the basics of Graph Theory.
The game of thrones is a two-player impartial combinatorial game played on an oriented complete graph (or tournament) named after the popular fantasy book and TV series. The game of thrones relies on a special type of vertex called a king. A king is a vertex, k, in a tournament, T, which for all x in T either k beats x or there exists a vertex y such that k beats y and y beats x. Players take turns removing vertices from a given tournament until there is only one king left in the resulting tournament. The winning player is the one which makes the final move. We develop a winning position and classify those tournaments that are optimal for the first or second-moving player.

Geology and metamorphism of the Mount Breakenridge area, Harrison Lake, British Columbia
Creators: name: Reamsbottom, Stanley Baily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Mount Breakenridge area is underlain by metamorphosed strata of the Upper Paleozoic (?) or older Breakenridge Formation, the Upper Paleozoic (?) or Mesozoic Cairn Needle Formation and the Lower Cretaceous Peninsula Formation. These rocks and enclosed ultramafic pods were subjected to Barrovian-type metamorphism prior to the mid-Cretaceous. Locally, pelitic schists developed andalusite and sillimanite in contact aureoles around Late Cretaceous quartz diorites. Ultramafic and related rocks in the map-area and in the Southern Coast Crystalline Complex and the Northern Cascade Mountains may have formed in a marginal basin which was in existence from Mississippian to Late Triassic. Rock and mineral chemistry of pelites indicates that the composition of white mica is sensitive to metamorphic grade, and composition of plagioclase is controlled by rock bulk chemistry. No obvious relationship exists between biotite and staurolite compositions and rock chemistry or metamorphic grade. Distribution of chemical species between coexisting chlorite, biotite, garnet and staurolite implies a close approach to chemical equilibrium. Linear regression analyses of minerals indicate that assemblages in the sillimanite and kyanite zones are dependent on rock bulk chemistry and that apparent univariant reaction assemblages act as local fH2O buffers. The minerals talc (T), forsterite (F), ehstatite (E), anthophyllite (A) in ultramafites may have formed by the following reaction sequence. The reaction T + F = E produced E at 7kb. Uplift and subsequent reduction in pressure rendered enstatite unstable and anthophyllite formed by the reaction T + F = A. Thermodynamic calculations confirm that the equilibrium temperature of the vapour-absent reaction E + T = A is extremely sensitive to iron solid solution so that the topologies of reactions in the system MgO-SiO2-H20 may be a function of the Mg- content of the system.

title: Spatial and Temporal Study of Heat Transport of Hydrothermal Features in Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park
Creators: name: Mohamed, Ruba A. M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Monitoring the dynamic thermal activity in Yellowstone National Park is required by the United States Congress. The continuous monitoring is important to maintain the safety of the visitors and park service personnel, plan and relocate infrastructure, and study potential impact from nearby geothermal development including oil and gas industry. This dissertation is part of a study initiated in the early 2000s to monitor the thermal activity of dynamic areas within the Park, using airborne remote sensing imagery. This study was focused in Norris Geyser Basin, the hottest geyser basin in the park, located near the northwestern rim of the Yellowstone’s caldera. The study is considered the first long-term comprehensive airborne remote sensing study in the basin which took place between August 2008 and October 2013. In this study, at least one 1-meter resolution thermal infrared image and three-band images (multispectral) were acquired and used to estimate year-to-year changes in radiant temperature, radiant flux, and radiant power from the thermal source in Norris.
Presence of residual radiant flux in the ground from absorbed solar radiation and atmospheric longwave radiation was the main challenge to compere year-to-year changes in the thermal activity. This residual flux is included in the total radiant flux calculated through the remote sensing images which gives false estimates of the flux generated from the underling thermal source. Two methods were suggested in Chapters 2 and 4 of this dissertation to estimate the residual radiant flux. A method was developed in Chapter 2 to estimate the residual radiant flux in a bare ground area covered with hydrothermal siliceous sinter deposit. The method compared ground-based measurements with high spatial resolution airborne remote sensing measurements to estimate the residual radiant flux. In Chapter 4, a method was developed to estimate the residual radiant flux in the six surface classes in Norris, including bare ground, bare ground with siliceous sinter deposit, lakes and pools, river, forest, and grass. The assumptions and implications of each method were discussed to suggest a reliable method to estimate the geothermal radiant flux after subtracting the absorbed residual radiant flux. Chapter 3 provides an analysis of the four components of heat flux in the ground surface, including conduction of sensible heat, convection of sensible heat by liquid water and water vapor, and convection of latent heat by water vapor. The main purpose from the analysis was to assess the hypothesis that the convection and latent heat flux are negligible which therefore supported the results obtained from the analysis in Chapters 2 and 4.

description: We present a sample of intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidates based on the detection of a broad H$α$ emission line and variability, which are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. By performing spectral decomposition of emission lines as well as visual inspection, we initially identified 131 targets with a broad H$α$ line among a large sample of emission-line galaxies. We further selected 25 IMBH candidates, whose estimated black hole mass (M$_{\rm BH}$) is less than $10^6 \rm M_{\odot}$. To constrain the nature of these candidates, we analyzed X-ray properties and performed an intra-night variability monitoring with optical telescopes. Based on the optical variability analysis, we report a sample of 11 targets with detected intra-night variability as the best IMBH candidates, which are suitable for follow-up observations for accurate M$_{\rm BH}$ determination such as reverberation mapping campaigns.

title: Sclerocactus wetlandicus: Habitat Characterization, Seed Germination and Mycorrhizal Analysis
Creators: name: Harding, Kourtney T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: The Uinta Basin hookless cactus (Sclerocactus wetlandicus) is a threatened species native to Eastern Utah. The cactus is found in a landscape highly disturbed by non-renewable energy production. To understand the environmental conditions that support natural growth of this cactus, we asked whether plant communities differed in the undisturbed areas where the cactus is and is not found. We then compared undisturbed communities to those found on disturbed areas such as reclaimed well pads. Plant community characterization was accomplished with the line-point intercept method, and data were analyzed using Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling. There was no significant difference in occupied and unoccupied undisturbed plant communities; S. wetlandicus associates with the common vegetation found in the study area. In contract, plant communities on the well pads were significantly different from those present in undisturbed locations. The disturbed areas were dominated by non-native weedy species and bare soil, thus differing from undisturbed habitats that contained higher relative vegetation cover and a mix of species from all functional groups both native and non-native.
To help restore this threatened cactus in disturbed habitats as well as prevent future extinction, we developed and tested a protocol for cactus seed germination in the greenhouse and successfully produced seedlings with a ~75% germination rate. Additionally, an important factor contributing to the successful growth of this threatened cactus is the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). By extracting the DNA from root samples of wild cacti we were able to identify the presence of AMF from the families Glomeraceae and Claroideoglomeraceae representing three genera: Rhizophagus, Glomus, and Claroideoglomus. Sequences closest to Rhizophagus irregularis were identified from multiple root samples. Cactus seedlings may be inoculated with the fungi to promote their growth and ultimately their survival in the wild. Our study indicates that because S. wetlandicus is part of the common plant community of the study area and the well pads are vastly different from the common plant community, disturbed areas should be reclaimed in a way that better resembles undisturbed habitats to increase the likelihood that the newly planted cacti can thrive.

A study of the amplitude distribution and an estimate of the outburst frequency of these new dwarf novae and those discovered by the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) indicates that besides systems that are faint because they are farther away, there also exists a population of intrinsically faint dwarf novae with rare outbursts.

Geology and geochronology of porphyry copper and molybdenum deposits in west-central British Columbia
Creators: name: Carter, Nicholas Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Porphyry copper and molybdenum deposits in west-central British Columbia are associated with plutons of Late Cretaceous and Tertiary age which intrude Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Intermontane Tectonic Belt. The porphyry deposits are contained in an area bounded on the west by granitic rocks of the Coast Plutonic Complex, and on the east and southeast by a belt containing Mesozoic granitic stocks and an extensive area of Tertiary volcanic rocks. The porphyry intrusions take the form of small stocks, plugs , dykes, and dyke swarms generally not exceeding 1 square mile in surface area. The intrusions are commonly multiple and range in composition from quartz diorite to granite. Copper and molybdenum sulphides occur as fracture fillings and as veinlet stockworks within and adjacent to the intrusive bodies. Sulphide and alteration minerals exhibit concentric zoning patterns. Volcanic and sedimentary rocks marginal to the intrusions are thermally metamorphosed to biotite hornfels. Results of potassium-argon dating indicate four crudely parallel north to northwest-trending belts of porphyry intrusions, each being distinctive in age, rock composition, and contained metallic mineralization. From west to east these include: (1) Alice Arm intrusions - 50 m.y. molybdenum-bearing quartz monzonite and granite intrusions; (2) Bulkley intrusions - 70 to 84 m.y. copper-molybdenum and molybdenum-bearing porphyries of granodiorite to quartz monzonite composition; (3) Nanika intrusions - 50 m.y. copper-molybdenum and molybdenum-bearing intrusions of quartz monzonite composition; (4) Babine intrusions - 50 m.y. copper-bearing intrusions of quartz diorite and granodiorite composition. Potassium-argon analyses were carried out mainly on biotite separates from the mineralized porphyry phases within the deposits. Dating of inter-mineral and post-mineral porphyry phases, common at many of the deposits, yielded ages equivalent to, or 2 to 3 m.y. younger than, the mineralized phases, indicating that the age of mineralization is essentially synchronous with the age of intrusion. Limits of analytical errors in these potassium-argon analyses are within 3 per cent of the calculated ages. The distribution of potasslum-argon ages for porphyry deposits in west-central British Columbia does not fit the plate tectonic theories proposed for the origin of similar deposits elsehwere in the Cordillera of North and South America, in which deposits are progressively younger in a given direction. Here, four crudely parallel belts of porphyry intrusions display a reversal in age from 50 m.y. to 70 - 84 m.y. to 50 m.y. in an eastward direction. This distribution of ages may have been caused by periodic movement from Late Jurassic to Tertiary time along a subduction zone beneath the Coast Plutonic Complex which forms the west border of the area containing the porphyry deposits.

Private‚ÄövÑv™sector engagement in regional fisheries management organisations to which Australia is a party
Creators: name: Murray, EA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) are the entities responsible under international law for creating the conservation and management measures that apply to high seas fisheries. States must implement the conservation and management measures of RFMOs to which they are a party in their domestic legislation. One of the key challenges facing RFMOs globally is a lack of compliance by both contracting and non-contracting Parties. The current status of wild-capture global fisheries appears grim; with more than 80 per cent of global fisheries either fully exploited, or overexploited. The ability of RFMOs to enforce compliance with the conservation measures they administer is a critical factor in addressing the decline of high seas fish stocks. To date, the performance of RFMOs in this regard has been poor; with discontinuity between the compliance approaches of individual RFMOs cited as one of the key contributing factors to the challenges facing regional fisheries management. This thesis aims to make recommendations for reform to assist a specific group of RFMOs: RFMOs to which Australia is party (AusRFMOs). It investigates how AusRFMOs can become more adaptive and resilient to the challenges posed by non-compliance. It achieves this by testing the hypothesis that there are inconsistencies amongst AusRFMOs in their adoption of compliance measures. This thesis argues that private-sector engagement, where the entities being regulated by AusRFMOs become a part of the solution, represents a viable and practical solution to the problem of non-compliance. It is suggested that rather than continuing to focus on how legislative reform can strengthen regional fisheries management, private-sector engagement in the work of AusRFMOs represents an important alternative to the problems currently facing global fisheries.

description: The object of this paper is to introduce and study the concept of quasi-geometric infinite divisibility for distributions on $\bf R_+$. These distributions arise as mixing distributions of (discrete) geometric infinitely divisible Poisson mixtures. Several characterizations and closure properties are presented. A connection between quasi-geometric infinite divisibility and log-convex (log-concave) distributions is established. A generalized notion of quasi-infinite divisibility is also discussed.
title: Modeling Habitat Quality for American Martens in Western Newfoundland, Canada

description: The "Den Mother" marten habitat quality models were created to provide insight into American marten habitat selection behavior and to promote the recovery of the Newfoundland marten (Martes americana atrata) population. Although these objectives are typical of most wildlife habitat modeling projects, the marten's idiosyncratic habitat ecology and apparently intractable conflicts associated with timber harvesting motivated a unique, process-oriented approach to appraising landscapes. The Den Mother models used optimal decision-making principles to synthesize critical resources (den sites and foraging opportunities) and constraints (adverse thermal situations and exposure to predations) into a single hierarchical framework. The resulting spatially explicit, combinatorial optimization models depend on a complex array of interacting assumptions. However, in mechanistic models, explicit assumptions provide the means by which insights are gained. For example, manipulating prey population parameters provided a clear demonstration of how resource conditions confound the relationship between landscape configuration and marten fitness, thereby challenging conventional definitions of habitat based on vegetation alone. Likewise, the models' sensitivity to spatial circumstances argued against the concept of an "optimal landscape," a traditional objective for wildlife habitat analyses. Although the model analyses did not refute the conventional wisdom that marten are strongly associated with (and may depend on) large contiguous blocks of senescing and defoliated forests, they did suggest that the marten is an opening-sensitive, rather than coresensitive, species. The models also suggested new avenues for research addressing marten den site selection, predator avoidance behavior, foraging efficiency, and space use strategies, as well as new techniques for assessing the trade-offs that govern marten habitat selection behavior. Finally, the models also suggested new guidelines for promoting marten recovery in an adaptive management context, including recommendations for placing artificial resting structures; creating favorable landscape mosaics; managing ephemeral resources such as transition old-growth forests, defoliation, and coarse woody debris; and developing alternative, competing management scenarios that address both forest and prey conditions simultaneously.

title: Factors Affecting the Harvest Vulnerability of Trumpeter Swans
Creators: name: Tangermann, Heidi L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: Two species of swan are regularly found in Utah, tundra swans (Cygnus columbianus) and trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator). Tundra swans migrate through Utah. During the fall migration period they are hunted in the state under guidelines established by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Trumpeter swans are occasional visitors to Utah during the same migration period. Because trumpeter swans are difficult to distinguish from tundra swans in flight, they 11 are at risk of being harvested during the swan hunt. In my thesis, I examine the factors that may influence trumpeter swan vulnerability to harvest. Specifically, I evaluated height and velocity of foraging flights for both species of swans and identified characteristics of Utah swan hunters. This information could assist the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in developing an educational program to reduce trumpeter swan vulnerability.
I applied flight dynamics theory to 86 trumpeter and 178 tundra swan measurements. Both speed and height of short-range foraging flights were used to predict trumpeter and tundra swan vulnerability. The theory predicted that trumpeter swans fly slower and lower than tundra swans, and thus may be more vulnerable to harvest. The predicted flight height of tundra swans was compared to observations of tundra swans made at the USFWS Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. Average body area of the two species of swans was compared. Trumpeter swans had, on average, a 30% larger body area. Combining the lower predicted flight and larger body size, trumpeter swans may be up to 26% more vulnerable on a 3.8-km flight and 15% more vulnerable on a 10-km flight than tundra swans on the same flight path.
In addition to current regulations, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is interested in implementing a swan hunter education course to further reduce the likelihood of a trumpeter swan being harvested during the swan hunt. I surveyed a representative sample of Utah swan hunters to determine if they would participate in the course and attitudes about current regulations, and to identify specific topics that should be emphasized in the course. My survey suggested that Utah swan hunters would be receptive to a swan hunter education course. Based on the responses, any swan hunter education course should emphasize identification of trumpeter and tundra swans, distance estimation, and regulations regarding the swan hunt.

description: The meson exchange interaction based on relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory has been introduced in the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model, called interacting HRG (iHRG) model. This model can be used to explain the experimental data both at finite temperature ($T$) with finite chemical potential ($μ_B$) and finite temperature at vanishing chemical potential. The nuclear matter equation of state also can be explained at zero temperature with finite baryon density (finite chemical potential) due to the presence of attractive and repulsive interactions between the hadrons in the iHRG model. Similarly, the lattice equation of state is well described at $μ_B$ = 0 and finite temperature by the iHRG model. In the present study, we have calculated the thermodynamical quantities as a function of temperature and chemical potential using both HRG and iHRG models. Also, we have presented the isothermal compressibility ($k_T$), specific heat ($C_V$), and speed of sound ($c_s^2$) as a function of $μ_B$, $T$, and center of mass energies. The effect of kinematic acceptance on these quantities are also presented as a function of $μ$ and $T$. Results from this study on $k_T$ are compared with results from other heavy-ion transport models and experimental data up to LHC energies.

Bumbling Along Together: Producing Collaborative Fieldnotes

description: With shifting scientific research practices, team ethnography is becoming more common and visible, partly due to changes in technological infrastructures and funding schemes that support collaborative work. The rise of team ethnography also challenges ethnographic practices built around the ideal of a “lone ranger” in the field. In this chapter, we explore one aspect of ethnographic fieldwork that changes in team ethnography—producing and sharing fieldnotes. Specifically, we reflect on our experiences producing “collaborative fieldnotes” across three geographically distant medical schools. Like the anthropologist Janelle Taylor, we recognize the value of sometimes being able to “bumble”—allowing ourselves to be flexible and responsive to our experiences in the field—through ethnography. We suggest that producing collaborative fieldnotes within team ethnography is generative for bumbling along together within what Taylor refers to as “regimes of accountability.” Allowing ourselves to bumble through producing collaborative fieldnotes helped shape our accountability to each other as members of a team. We draw upon examples of instructing, sharing, and discussing our collaborative fieldnotes to illustrate this formative relationship between bumbling, collaboration, and accountability.
title: Coyote Foraging Ecology, Vigilance, and Behavioral Cascades in Response to Gray Wolf Reintroduction in Yellowstone National Park
Creators: name: Switalski, T. Adam
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Vigilance behavior can aid in the detection of predators and may also play a role in observation of conspecifics, in food acquisition, and in the prevention of kleptoparasitism. However, in most occasions, vigilance is most important as an antipredator function. Generally, factors that increase the risk of predation also increase the amount of vigilance. We examined whether the reintroduction of the large predator, the wolf, in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) would influence coyote vigilance and foraging ecology. From December 1997 to July 2000, we collected 1743 h of coyote activity budgets. Coyote home ranges occurred within wolf territories (termed high-use or nonbuffer zone areas) and also between them in buffer zones. In high wolf use areas as well as when wolves were present, coyotes fed on carcasses much more; however, they increased the amount of vigilance and decreased rest to prevent predation. Wolf kills may provide a quick source of food and be energetically advantageous to coyotes; however, costs include increased vigilance, decreased rest, and a higher predation risk. Vigilance and avoidance behavioral responses to the reintroduction of large predators may ultimately be more common outcomes than actual killing by competing carnivores of prey. Keystone carnivore reintroductions have a variety of cascading effects throughout the ecosystem and can be driven by both numeric responses (trophic cascades) and behavioral responses ("behavioral cascades"). Behavioral cascades resulting from increased vigilance or spatial changes may lead ultimately to numeric changes and trophic cascades.
