Conservation in the face of climate change: The roles of alternative models, monitoring, and adaptation in confronting and reducing uncertainty
Michael J. Conroy,Michael C. Runge,Michael C. Runge,James D. Nichols,Kirk W. Stodola,Robert J. Cooper +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that conservation should precede in an adaptive management framework, in which decisions are guided by predictions under multiple, plausible hypotheses about climate impacts, in turn providing feedback for future decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevational and Seasonal Variation in the Foliar Quality and Arthropod Community of Acer pensylvanicum
Caralyn B. Zehnder,Kirk W. Stodola,Blake L. Joyce,David Egetter,Robert J. Cooper,Mark D. Hunter +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that temporal heterogeneity in plant quality is likely to be more important to insect herbivores than is spatial heterogeneity and that other factors, such as the abiotic environment and natural enemies, likely have substantial effects on herbivore density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotic and Abiotic factors governing nestling-period length in the ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla)
Kirk W. Stodola,Kirk W. Stodola,David A. Buehler,Daniel H. Kim,Kathleen E. Franzreb,Eric T. Linder,Eric T. Linder +6 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the biotic and abiotic factors that govern the nestling period in the Ovenbird suggests that large-scale variation in ecological and environmental factors may determine the physiological constraints of the nestle period but parental behavior and quality within this framework dictate the actual length of the Nestling period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and daily patterns of nocturnal singing in the Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla)
TL;DR: The seasonal pattern of simple and complex songs suggests that they may have a similar function at night and during the day, with simple songs used for inter-sexual interactions and complex Songs used for intrasexual functions Consequently, the role and function of nocturnal song may be more important for reproductive activities than previously assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Emergent Properties of Conspecific Attraction Can Limit a Species’ Ability to Track Environmental Change
Kirk W. Stodola,Michael P. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: An individual-based model of habitat selection where habitat quality moved each year demonstrated the benefits of conspecific attraction in relatively stable environments and its detrimental influence when habitat quality shifted rapidly, which is referred to as “social inertia.”
