Join us at the 2019 International Association for Great Lakes Research 
conference in Brockport, New York.

Session #27
Ecosystem-Based Management:
Challenges and Opportunities on the Great Lakes' Coasts

This session is intended to explore research themes that will maximize the 
potential of EBM at the regional scale. Topics can range from the purely 
bio-physical, such as understanding the impacts of multiple stressors, to 
entirely socio-political, such as how governance structures and the human 
dimension can influence the implementation of an EBM approach.

Abstract submission deadline is 1 February 2019.

Session abstract: Ecosystem-based management is (EBM) is an interdisciplinary 
approach to management that considers the multitude of interconnected processes 
and the environmental, social, and economic trade-offs associated with 
actionable goals for protection and restoration of healthy, productive, and 
resilient ecosystems. EBM may be particularly valuable in Great Lakes coastal 
ecosystems where multiple interacting stressors of terrestrial and freshwater 
environments come together in a critical socioeconomic realm. Talks discussing 
EBM implementation in the Great Lakes and identifying major scientific 
knowledge gaps impeding the progress of EBM are particularly encouraged.

[ECOLOG-L] Invitation [STOTEN] “Special Issue: Applications of Dendrochemistry in Environmental Sciences”

2019-01-10 Thread Raul Sanchez Salguero

Dear colleagues,

On the INTERNATIONAL YEAR 2019 OF THE PERIODIC TABLE as a Common
Language for Science, the prestigious journal _SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL
ENVIRONMENT_ _(IF 4.610)_ (ISSN 0048-9697), an International Journal for
Scientific Research into the Environment and its relationship with
Humankind, is currently running a Special Issue entitled "APPLICATIONS
OF DENDROCHEMISTRY IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES". As we are acting as guest
editors for this issue, we would like to welcome contributions from
various disciplines. We kindly invite you to consider submitting your
full paper to this Special Issue.

SPECIAL ISSUE WEBSITE: https://goo.gl/ADtdv4

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 14 SEPTEMBER 2019

At the moment, about 13 papers have already signed up for this special
issue, and several other authors have expressed their interest. If you
are interested in our special issue, please feel free to contact us.
AUTHORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEND A SHORT ABSTRACT WITH TENTATIVE TITLE TO
THE GUEST EDITORS IN ADVANCE (SEND TO: dendrochemistr...@gmail.com) TO
KEEP US POSTED.

Authors are invited to submit papers related to the _FOLLOWING TOPICS_:

This special issue would represent novel work that is of general
interest for a broad audience of the journal given the implications of
the environmental changes and its relationship with humankind across all
biomes. Dendrochemical studies in forest ecosystems are still
underdeveloped. Since trees are natural proxies of changes in the
environmental conditions, temporal atmospheric or soil changes in the
course of climate change may be registered in annual tree-rings. There
exists a great concern on the effects of environmental stressors on
21st-century forests. As a consequence, tree-ring variables (nutrient
content, stable isotopes, wood traits) are used as temporal proxies of
tree functioning, forest health, changes in soil chemistry, pollution,
climate change and cascade effects on tree-soil interactions. Changes in
element availability, water use efficiency and element uptake of trees
can be modulated by long-term human or natural impacts (pollution,
volcanic eruptions, acidification, forest dieback, etc) or by short-term
events (drought, heat wave, insect outbreaks, fire, etc). Although wood
usually presents a low mineral nutrient concentration, the emergence of
dendrochemistry, i.e., the chemical analysis of annually (seasonal)
resolved wood tissues in high spatial resolution, has provided new data
on long-term (from seasonal to centennial) series to reconstruct
environmental changes and the nutritional status of trees and
ecosystems.

In this SI, we aim to fill gaps on the application of dendrochemistry
(including measurements of stable isotopes ratios, nutrients, trace
elements, and organic components) on environmental research by asking
for manuscripts which constitute original contributions on studies
developing application in forest ecology, tree physiology, nutrient
balances, forest pathology, human and forest health, pollution,
environmental changes reconstructions, genetic, dendroprovenances,
volcanology, as well as modelling or empirical studies aimed at
improving our mechanistic understanding of short and long-term chemical
variations in global ecosystems.

KEYWORDS: _Nutrient-use efficiency, Pollution, Environmental stress,
Forest ecology and dynamic, Dendroecology, Tree physiology,
Environmental risks, Stable isotopes, Micro X-ray fluorescence (μXRF),
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy, Ecohydrology, Human
footprints, Climate Change_

All STOTEN special issues are virtual special issues, I.E. _PAPERS ARE
PUBLISHED AS SOON AS THEY ARE ACCEPTED_ and are not physically joint in
a single printed journal issue.

Once we received and accepted your short abstract, we will send you the
_instructions to submit your manuscript_ through the _Science of the
Total Environment_ website (at
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/science-of-the-total-environment) and
the procedures for manuscript submission.

[ECOLOG-L] Expedition to survey biodiversity in the Peruvian Andes-Amazon

2019-01-10 Thread Gallice,Geoffrey R

Manu Biodiversity Expedition 2019 – Alliance for a Sustainable Amazon



The Alliance for a Sustainable Amazon (ASA) is a research-focused 501(c)3 
non-profit working in the southeastern Peruvian Andes and Amazon. We are 
planning an expedition to study biodiversity—butterflies and moths, bats and 
other mammals, birds, and herpetofauna—near Peru’s Manu National Park and 
Biosphere Reserve during July 1-14, 2019, as part of our long-term effort to 
document species’ distribution, abundance, and natural history throughout the 
Cusco and Madre de Dios regions. Participation in the expedition is open to 
those who wish to explore the Manu region’s hyper-diverse rainforests and gain 
practical skills and knowledge related to tropical biodiversity monitoring. 
Please note that a fee is required to cover the cost of hosting participants at 
the remote field base camp and covers all food, as well as logistical support 
and maintenance of the campsite.



DATES

1-14 July, 2019



LOCATION

Gallito de las Rocas conservation area, Cusco Dept., Peru (ca. 900-2,000 masl)



REGISTRATION

Open until May 31, 2019



PARTICIPATION FEE

$1,650



This expedition is based at a remote, rugged campsite deep within the 
rainforest. Fees cover participants’ food, as well as logistical support and 
camp maintenance, and help to offset the cost of running the expedition.

EXPEDITION OVERVIEW

The rainforests of southeastern Peru, where the Andes Mountains meet the Amazon 
basin, are widely thought to be the most biodiverse on earth. However, almost 
nothing is known about the abundance, regional distribution, or natural history 
of the vast majority of species, nor the impacts on populations of climate 
change. The ASA is working to gather this information for four key groups at a 
number of sites in southeastern Peru: Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), 
birds, bats and other mammals, and herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians). In 
addition to baseline biodiversity inventories, a second major goal at Gallito 
de las Rocas is to monitor changes in populations over time using standardized, 
repeated annual surveys.



The expedition is led by four researchers who will oversee data collection by 
their respective team and work with participants towards the following goals:



Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths)

Build a site inventory and monitor butterfly and moth abundance over time using 
a variety of techniques, including collecting with hand nets and baited traps, 
and light trapping for nocturnal species. Data gathered at Gallito de las Rocas 
and other study sites in the region are used in ongoing studies of Lepidoptera 
ecology, evolution, natural history, and conservation.



Birds

Data regarding bird species presence, abundance, and elevational distributions 
are gathered by point count surveys, passive acoustic monitoring, and through 
the use of mist nets. Banded birds are monitored to document changes in 
populations over time and to monitor elevational shifts due to climate change; 
banded birds also allow us to collect key natural and life history data (e.g., 
longevity), which are currently unavailable for most species in the region.



Mammals

Medium to large mammals are inventoried using camera traps. However, the team 
will focus mostly on bats, which constitute the majority of mammal species at 
the study site. Bats are studied using mist nets and by passive acoustic 
monitoring. A major goal is to build a site inventory and a reference library 
of bat calls for the region, as well as to monitor changes over time in 
populations (e.g., abundance, elevational distributions).



Herpetofauna

Reptiles and amphibians are inventoried using transect surveys, mostly at 
night, but also by diurnal leaf litter surveys. We are also monitoring the 
presence of chytridiomycosis, an infectious fungal disease that poses a major 
threat to amphibian species worldwide.



MORE INFORMATION & HOW TO APPLY

Please visit the expedition webpage for more information about the expedition, 
our research goals, and what activities participants can expect, as well as how 
to apply.
