Community assessment techniques and the implications for rarefaction and extrapolation with Hill numbers
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017-11-21)Diversity estimates play a key role in ecological assessments. Species richness and abundance are commonly used to generate complex diversity indices that are dependent on the quality of these estimates. As such, there is ... -
Invasion dynamics of the varnish clam (Nuttallia obscurata): A matrix demographic modeling approach
(Ecological Society of America, 2007-08-01)Marine invaders have become a significant threat to native biodiversity and ecosystem function. In this study, the invasion of the varnish clam (Nuttallia obscurata) in British Columbia, Canada, is investigated using a ... -
Linking larval abundance, onshore supply and settlement using instantaneous versus integrated methods
(Inter-Research Science Centre, 2009-07-28)Understanding larval transport mechanisms is important to coastal ecosystem dynamics. However, the relationships between nearshore larval abundance, onshore supply and settlement remain poorly understood. We investigated ... -
Marine and estuarine alien species in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia
(Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada, 2002)The Strait of Georgia, located in southwestern British Columbia between Vancouver Island and the mainland, is an important inland sea used for seafood production, recreation, and maritime industry. In this paper we discuss ... -
Reproductive ecology and dispersal potential of varnish clam Nuttallia obscurata, a recent invader in the Northeast Pacific Ocean
(Inter-Research Science Centre, 2006-08-29)The fecundity, larval development, and temperature and salinity tolerances were determined for the varnish clam Nuttallia obscurata (Reeve 1857), a recently introduced species in the Northeast Pacific. Adult varnish clams ...
