Bythotrephes abundance in Harp Lake
This table contains the average abundance of Bythotrephes (#/m3), in each barb class, in Harp Lake. The data are the average of ten randomly selected stations on each date.

We studied the population dynamics of the plant at four sites at annual censuses, 1982-1987, during the rainy season (June-October) to determine spatial and temporal variability in vital rates and in sensitivity of population growth. Results of general interest included that among the 16 population projection matrices constructed for the 4 year × 4 site combinations, the ones with the highest growth rates had higher sensitivity to transitions of early stages.
Weighted areal density of chaoborus larvae in the DORSET lakes. Data are # of larvae per m^2, correcting for areas of the two sampling strata.There are three species, and a potential for 4 instars of each, called CI to CIV. The data set is called chaob.cvs.
Samples for chemical analysis are taken from each lake with a peristaltic pump using Tygon tubing. Samples of water are taken at 2 metre intervals, starting at 1 metre. Aliquots of that water, proportional to the volume of the stratum each depth represents are combined for the epilimnion, the metalimnion and the hypolimnion for chemical analysis. The data file PCHPCHEM.TXT contains the raw chemical data for Plastic and Harp lakes. These data are in ASCII format and tab delimited as requested.
Chemistry for the Dorset lakes (Blue Chalk, Chub, Crosson, Dickie, Heney, Red Chalk). Samples for chemical analysis are taken from each lake with a peristaltic pump using Tygon tubing. Samples of water are taken at 2 metre intervals, starting at 1 metre. Aliquots of that water, proportional to the volume of the stratum each depth represents are combined for the epilimnion, the metalimnion and the hypolimnion for chemical analysis. The mean annual epilimnetic data is presented in the file LAKECHEM.TXT. These data are in ASCII format and tab delimited as requested.
This Coho salmon data is part of the population dynamics data on fish in the world put together by Dr. Randsom A. Myers and his associates. The idea behind this work is that the uncertainty of the biological basis of fisheries management can be greatly reduced by examining many data sets and combining the results by various statistical methods. Documentation, data and statistical analysis of spawners and recruitment is included.
The Coho Salmon data is part of Ranson Myers Stock Recruitment Database site. The site consists of maps, plots, and numerical data relating to over 600 fish populations (over 100 species) from all over the world. Approximately 100 new populations are added per year. The purpose of this site is to compile all population dynamics data on fish in the world, so that synthetic analyses will lead to enhanced conservation and improved fisheries management.
This dataset contains information on the abundance, basal area, and species identity for more than 80,000 lianas from tropical forests located in Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. We have compiled this dataset to determine the distribution of lianas (abundance, biomass, and diversity) across large geographic regions and abiotic gradients throughout the tropics.
I am creating this library as part of my dissertation research project at U.C. Santa Barbara. I am using a digital integration technology (DIGIN®) to create this library, which has the functionality of a database but the capacity of a library. The international agreements and treaties, as well as the national (United States and Mexico), state (Washington, Oregon, California and Baja), and local laws and regulations are included in this library to represent governmental level management within the scope of the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem.
This table was shared in conjunction with a working group project to assess the usefulness of algorithms and quantitative approaches to measuring biodiversity in terms of 'taxonomic distinctiveness' or 'independent evolutionary units'. The group evaluated whether and how phylogenetic information can be used to measure species value. Specifically, they analyzied the effects of sample size, topology, branch lengths and model of evolutionary change on various quantitative measures of phylogenetic diversity.
