title: NPP Multi-Biome: NPP and Driver Data for Ecosystem Model-Data Intercomparison

description: The Ecosystem Model-Data Intercomparison (EMDI), an on-going activity whose first workshop was held in Durham, New Hampshire, USA, in December 1999, provides the first opportunity for a wide range of global carbon cycle models to be compared with measured net primary productivity (NPP). The second EMDI workshop was held in April 2001 at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), Santa Barbara, California, U.S.A. EMDI is supported by GAIM (Global Analysis, Integration and Modelling), a component of the International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). The goals of EMDI are to compare model estimates of terrestrial carbon fluxes (NPP) to estimates from ground-based measurements, and to improve understanding of environmental controls of carbon allocation. The primary questions to be addressed are to test simulated controls and model formulation on the water, carbon, and nutrient budgets with the observed NPP data providing the constraint for autotrophic fluxes and the integrity of scaled biophysical driving variables. EMDI - the NPP data from the NPP project forms the core data that was that was used in the EMDI Workshops (funded by GAIM and NCEAS). The workshop has resulted in a more NPP and model driver data being submitted to ORNL; in addition, the workshops provided a review of the data. NCEAS provided 6 months of time support for an intern at ORNL (Keri Johnson) to prepare data for the EMDI workshops.

title: Foraging trait variation in Ambystoma maculatum

description: Predator-prey interactions often vary markedly across natural landscapes. One explanation for this variation is local genetic differentiation of prey traits due to selection from predators. Here, I evaluated the relative contributions of selection from a gape-limited predator (Ambystoma opacum) and spatial location within a larger landscape to explanations of variation in foraging, growth, and survival in 10 populations of temporary pond breeding salamander larvae (Ambystoma maculatum). In parameterized models, high gape-limited predation risk was predicted to select for intense foraging and rapid growth in larvae when migration rates were low (&lt; 5%). Under common garden conditions, salamander larvae from populations naturally exposed to constant predation risk from A. opacum foraged more actively than those from populations faced with lower predation risks. Higher foraging rates were associated with lower survival in populations exposed to free-ranging A. opacum predators. These results demonstrate for the first time that prey hunger can evolve in a natural landscape of variable gape-limited predation risk depending on natural selection for growth into a size refuge. Moreover, evidence suggests that foraging-predation risk tradeoffs can evolve over microgeographic scales. However, foraging rates also appear to have been affected by gene flow: prey individuals from populations with high predation risk foraged more actively if located within regions with similar predation threats. This interaction between local selection and spatial location suggests a joint role for adaptation and maladaptation in shaping species interactions across natural landscapes, a finding with implications for dynamics at the population, community, and metacommunity levels.

title: African tropical tree database

description: We censused all trees â ¥1 cmdbh in 50 ha of forest in Korup National Park, southwest Cameroon, in the central African coastal forest known for high diversity and endemism. The plot included 329,519 individuals and 493 species, but 128 of those taxa remain partially identified. Abundance varied over four orders of magnitude, from 1 individual per 50 ha (34 species) to Phyllobotryon spathulatum, with 26,741 trees; basal area varied over six orders of magnitude. Abundance patterns, both the percentage of rare species and the dominance of abundant species were similar to those from 50-ha plots censused the same way in Asia and Latin America. Rare species in the Korup plot were much less likely to be identified than common species: 42% of taxa with &lt;10 individuals in the plot were identified to species, compared to 95% of the abundant taxa. Geographic ranges for all identified species were gleaned from the literature and online flora. Thirteen of the plot species are known only from Korup National Park (all discovered during the plot census), and 39 are restricted to the Nigeriaâ Cameroon coastal zone. Contrary to expectation, species with narrow geographic ranges were more abundant in the plot than average. The small number of narrow endemics (11% of the species), many locally abundant, mitigates short-term extinction risk, either from demographic stochasticity or habitat loss.
