Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of pelagic species decline in the upper San Francisco Estuary using multivariate autoregressive modeling (MAR)
Ralph Charles Mac Nally,James Robertson Thomson,Wim J. Kimmerer,Frederick Feyrer,Ken B. Newman,Andrew Sih,William A. Bennett,Larry R. Brown,Erica Fleishman,Steven D. Culberson,Gonzalo Castillo +10 more
TL;DR: The results were relatively robust with respect to the form of stock-recruitment model used and to inclusion of subsidiary covariates but may be enhanced by using detailed state-space models that describe more fully the life-history dynamics of the declining species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and Predicting Species Occurrence Using Broad-Scale Environmental Variables: an Example with Butterflies of the Great Basin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Bayesian logistic regression to develop predictive models for resident butterflies in the central Great Basin of western North America, and obtained statistically significant models for 36 of 56 (64%) resident species of butterflies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Riverine invertebrate assemblages are degraded more by catchment urbanisation than by riparian deforestation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the extent to which land use measures explained macroinvertebrate assemblage composition on woody debris and in the sediments of pools or runs in the mainstem Yarra River in autumn and spring 1998.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Indicator Species to Predict Species Richness of Multiple Taxonomic Groups
Erica Fleishman,James Robertson Thomson,Ralph Charles Mac Nally,Dennis D. Murphy,John P. Fay +4 more
TL;DR: It is found that a small, common set of species could be used to predict separately the species richness of multiple taxonomic groups and may be useful both for estimating species richness and for gaining insight into mechanisms that influence diversity patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating plant- and animal-based perspectives for more effective restoration of biodiversity
Clive McAlpine,Carla Catterall,Ralph Charles Mac Nally,David B. Lindenmayer,J. Leighton Reid,Karen D. Holl,Andrew F. Bennett,Rebecca K. Runting,Kerrie A. Wilson,Richard J. Hobbs,Leonie Seabrook,Shaun Cameron Cunningham,Atte Moilanen,Martine Maron,Luke P. Shoo,Ian D. Lunt,Peter A. Vesk,Libby Rumpff,Tara G. Martin,James Robertson Thomson,Hugh P. Possingham +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the need to strengthen collaboration between plant and animal ecologists, to overcome disciplinary and cultural differences, and to achieve a more unified approach to restoration ecology.
