Genetic differentiation between wintering populations of lesser snow geese nesting on Wrangel Island, Russia Genetic differentiation between wintering populations of lesser snow geese nesting on Wrangel Island, Russia
Arctic breeding populations of Lesser Snow Geese (Chen c. caerulescens) range from Baffin Island in eastern Canada to Wrangel Island, Russia, which is located 650 km west of Alaska (Bellrose 1980). Although hundreds of thousands of Lesser Snow Geese may have occupied the Russian arctic in the mid1800s (see Takekawa et al., 1994), the Wrangel Island birds constitute the only remnant...

The role of natural history collections in documenting species declines The role of natural history collections in documenting species declines
Efforts to document the decline of extant populations require a historical record of previous occurrences. Natural history museums contain such information for most regions of the world, at least at a coarse spatial scale. Museum collections have been successfully used to analyse declines in a wide range of plants and animals, at spatial scales ranging from single localities to large...

Translocated sea otter populations off the coasts of Oregon and Washington Translocated sea otter populations off the coasts of Oregon and Washington
The historical distribution of sea otters extended from the northern islands of Japan north and east across the Aleutian chain to the mainland of North America then south along the west coast to central Baja California, Mexico (Riedman and Estes 1990). By the beginning of the twentieth century, after 150 years of being intensively hunted for their valuable fur, sea otters had been...

Actual evapotranspiration and deficit: Biologically meaningful correlates of vegetation distribution across spatial scales Actual evapotranspiration and deficit: Biologically meaningful correlates of vegetation distribution across spatial scales
Correlative approaches to understanding the climatic controls of vegetation distribution have exhibited at least two important weaknesses: they have been conceptually divorced across spatial scales, and their climatic parameters have not necessarily represented aspects of climate of broad physiological importance to plants. Using examples from the literature and from the Sierra Nevada of
