Book excerpt: The Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) has received threatened status in the State of Ohio in 2010. The goal of this study is to provide information that can be used in conservation management to locate suitable habitat for conservation of the species as well as potential repatriation or trans location sites. Wetland Inventory and Land Use/Land Cover maps were combined with aerial photography to evaluate regions located in Ohio's Lake Erie Drainage Basin that would meet the essential requirements of the turtles life history by quantitative methods used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing programs. This study identified suitable wetlands and vernal pools, lakes and ponds, and other areas with minimum canopy for nesting and movement. Throughout the region, the highest concentration of available habitat is found in Erie, Lucas, and Ottawa counties of the Blanding's turtle's historical range. This approach to creating Habitat Niche Models was validated by close correlation between the counties identified as having remaining appropriate habitat and the counties from the historical populations in which Blanding's turtles still remain. The potential exists to restore these areas through various means: restoring wetlands, protecting areas near agriculture that are more suitable for nesting, constructing small tunnels under roads and fences, and installing road warning signs to allow for safer migration. With protection and restoration of the habitat, the species may still have a chance to recover and become a stable population without the need for intense management.

Book excerpt: Turtles (order Testudines) are an ancient but highly threatened vertebrate group. Successful preservation of biodiversity in this group (as in others) requires identification of current threats, species-level traits that modulate vulnerability to these threats, and both general and species-specific strategies for mitigating threats. In this dissertation, I address these research needs for several Wisconsin turtles, focusing on the UCN-Endangered Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii). The approaches used here encompass multiple spatial scales, combine genetic and demographic methods of characterizing population viability and spatial ecology, and utilize comparisons among species, specifically by comparing endangered Blanding's turtles with more common co-occurring painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina). Each chapter of this dissertation is written and formatted as a manuscript for publication in a scholarly journal. Chapter 1 (published in Diversity and Distributions) investigates the population-level demographic and genetic responses of three turtle species with differing habitat preferences and life histories to roads and climate. Chapter 2 (prepared for submission to Molecular Ecology) describes the effects of past and present landscape features on population genetic structure in this same suite of turtle species. Chapter 3 (submitted to Methods in Ecology and Evolution) develops a novel method for estimating dispersal rates from genetic kinship data and uses this method to investigate the spatial ecology of nesting female Blanding's turtles. Finally, Chapter 4 (submitted to Biological Conservation) deals with the demographic response of a population of Blanding's turtles to habitat restoration. Overall, the work collected here demonstrates how differences in species' life history traits and habitat preferences can affect their vulnerability to environmental change and suggests how strategies for managing populations and genetic diversity can be tailored to these traits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News headlines are forever reporting diseases that take huge tolls on humans, wildlife, domestic animals, and both cultivated and native plants worldwide. These diseases can also completely transform the ecosystems that feed us and provide us with other critical benefits, from flood control to water purification. And yet diseases sometimes serve to maintain the structure and function of the ecosystems on which humans depend. Gathering thirteen essays by forty leading experts who convened at the Cary Conference at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in 2005, this book develops an integrated framework for understanding where these diseases come from, what ecological factors influence their impacts, and how they in turn influence ecosystem dynamics. It marks the first comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the rich and complex linkages between ecology and disease, and provides conceptual underpinnings to understand and ameliorate epidemics. It also sheds light on the roles that diseases play in ecosystems, bringing vital new insights to landscape management issues in particular. While the ecological context is a key piece of the puzzle, effective control and understanding of diseases requires the interaction of professionals in medicine, epidemiology, veterinary medicine, forestry, agriculture, and ecology. The essential resource on the subject, Infectious Disease Ecology seeks to bridge these fields with an ecological approach that focuses on systems thinking and complex interactions.
