SUMMARY:M.S. Seminar - Angelina Haines
DESCRIPTION:M.S. Seminar: Angelina Haines\, Maj. Prof\, Dr. Robert Gitzen \nTitle: What ignites fire ant density and impacts in longleaf pine ecosystems? \nLocation: Dixon Conference Room \nDate: Monday\, August 13\, 2018 \nTime: 9:00 a.m. \nAbstract: \nAngelina Haines1\,2\, Christopher Lepczyk1\, Robert Gitzen1\, D. Clay Sisson2\, and Theron Terhune II2 \n 1 Dept. of Wildlife Sciences\, Auburn University\, Auburn\, AL\n2 Tall Timbers Research Station and Land Conservancy\, Tallahassee\, FL \nTitle: What ignites fire ant density and impacts in longleaf pine ecosystems? \nInvasive species are a widely recognized threat to global biodiversity. Invasive invertebrates are often a subject of study due to their impacts on human health\, agriculture\, and ecosystem function\, but their impacts on local invertebrates are less known. An ideal model species to quantify this relationship is the red imported fire ant (RIFA\, Solenopsis invicta). RIFA take advantage of disturbed landscapes to colonize and consequently compete with local invertebrates. This can be problematic for landscapes that require disturbance for restoration and maintenance\, such as the longleaf pine ecosystems (Pinus palustris) of the southeastern United States. We sought to quantify what environmental variables were impacting RIFA density and their subsequent impacts on native and exotic ant biodiversity. Specifically\, we hypothesized that RIFA mound density and forager abundance (i.e. level of activity) are driven by soil type\, groundcover type\, and time since burn. To test our hypotheses\, we conducted line-transect mound surveys and pitfall trapping on 11 properties in Florida and Georgia managed with frequent fire. Pitfall trapping was used to estimate RIFA forager abundance and how their presence may influence general ant biodiversity\, which is the subject of ongoing debate in the literature. Factors affecting mound density were investigated using a Poisson generalized linear mixed effects model\, while the abundance of RIFA foragers and other ant species were analyzed with Poisson models and Akaike’s information criterion. Results indicate that RIFA mound numbers have a relationship to survey year\, region\, groundcover type\, and time since burn. Significantly higher RIFA mound numbers were present in sites that have not been burned in a year and were historically agricultural. Analysis of pitfall trap data indicates that RIFA mound number also correlates with both native and exotic ant biodiversity. Specifically\, as the number of RIFA mounds increase\, native ant biodiversity decreases and exotic ant biodiversity increases. Our findings address an important gap in understanding how RIFA invasions and relate to restoration management and modern impacts of land use history.

SUMMARY:M.S. Seminar\, Shelby Zikeli
DESCRIPTION:M.S. Seminar: Shelby Zikeli\, Maj. Prof\, Dr. Sarah Zohdy \nTitle: Vector Borne Disease Dynamics of Alabama White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)  \nLocation: Dixon Conference Room \nDate: Monday\, May 7\, 2018 \nTime: 8:00 a.m. \nAbstract: \nUnderstanding long-term dynamics of ectoparasite populations on hosts is essential to mapping the potential transmission of disease causing agents and pathogens. Blood feeding ectoparasites such as ticks\, lice and keds have a great capability to transmit pathogens throughout a wildlife system. We utilized a unique enclosed facility where white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were present in high-density and increased condition to model a system where late-stage ectoparasite hosts are present in high densities. This mimics systems where populations are fragmented due to human encroachment or through specialized management techniques. We noted a significant increase in ectoparasitism by ticks (p=0.04) over a nine-year study period where deer were collected\, and ticks quantified. Beginning in 2016 we implemented a comparison of quantification methods for ectoparasites in addition to ticks and noted that white-tailed deer within the enclosure were more likely to be parasitized by the neotropical deer ked (Lipoptena mazamae) than any tick or louse species. Additionally\, analysis of blood collected from sampled deer between 2016 and 2018 by PCR isolated four Bartonella spp.  present within the blood of enclosed deer.  Together\, these works inform us about the potential dynamics of ectoparasite communities long term\, and how host populations could affect ectoparasite communities\, providing insight into potential disease transmission.

SUMMARY:M.S. Seminar\, Sarah Wilson
DESCRIPTION:M.S. Seminar: Sarah Wilson\, Maj. Prof\, Dr. Todd Steury \nTitle: The ecology of scatterhoarding in a flooded ecosystem \nLocation: Dixon Conference Room \nDate: Wednesday\, May 2\, 2018 \nTime: 1:00 p.m. \nAbstract: \nFood hoarding is a strategy typically used by species that experience times with little food readily available. Scatterhoarders store single food items in many locations throughout their home range before the food-scarce season and do not actively defend these caches before recovery during the food-scarce season. In the southeastern United States\, flooding during winter is a problem faced by scatterhoarders due to a decrease in dry land available for cache recovery. Understanding how scatterhoarders respond to factors that could influence their supply of hoarded food\, such as seasonal flooding\, is important given the strong reliance on hoarded food to overwinter survival. We examined diet\, hoarding behavior\, habitat use\, and survival of eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) in a seasonally flooded ecosystem on Lowndes Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in central Alabama. We predicted squirrels would respond to flooding by: storing food during fall in areas that stay dry during winter\, seasonally shifting to dry habitat\, changing their winter diet\, or dying. During the dry season\, over 72% of acorns were buried in areas that later flooded. Habitat use did not change during flooding periods; in fact\, squirrels selected for habitat that stayed dry during flooding to a greater degree during non-flood seasons\, although not significantly so. Diet did not change between the dry fall and flooded winter. We also found squirrels were 7.70 times as likely to die during the flood season (2.28-25.96\, 95% C.L.) as the dry season and mortality was 1.30 times as likely (0.26-6.38\, 95% C.L.) for each 10% increase in the proportion of the study area that was flooded (both p = 0.001). Thus\, this eastern gray squirrel population did not appear to show any behavioral adaptations to seasonal flooding. Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of fluctuating environmental conditions on scatterhoarding behavior and what management considerations should be taken into account for populations living in these conditions.

SUMMARY:Ph.D. Seminar: Rasika Ramesh
DESCRIPTION:Ph.D. Seminar: Rasika Ramesh\, Maj. Prof\, Dr. Latif Kalin \nTitle: Understanding wetland hydrology and water quality through data/process based modelling \nLocation: Classroom 1207 \nDate: Wednesday\, April 11\, 2018 \nTime: 9:00 a.m. \nAbstract: \nRapid coastal development has led to loss/alteration of wetlands\, streams\, riparian vegetated areas and headwater areas that buffer coastal waterways from pollution. Small wetlands\, besides being easily altered\, have also shown to have higher capacity for nonpoint source amelioration. Consequently\, the protection and restoration of small wetlands and their vegetated buffer systems are critical in regulating flows and enhancing water quality on the landscape. This requires good understanding of their functionality so that appropriate steps can be taken for their management and preservation. This study evaluates headwater slope wetlands in Alabama’s coastal plain using field data and process-based modeling\, as well as improves existing relationships describing sediment removal by vegetated buffers through data-based modeling. Very little data exists for headwater slope wetlands (groundwater-fed wetlands above and alongside 1st order streams) in the region; to address this knowledge gap we observed hydrology and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) trends in select wetlands\, addressed challenges associated with modeling their hydrology and lastly\, identified nitrogen inputs pertinent to predicting nitrate export through a sensitivity analysis. Delineated watersheds were small (<2 sq km); flashy flows followed level of urbanization in the watershed\, with the least altered wetland having stable and damped flows. Despite watershed alterations\, wetlands still showed DIN load reductions ranging from 9% to 50%. One of the study wetlands showed unusually large flows\, indicating the presence of a larger ground watershed relative to the extent the delineated surficial watershed; a common issue in coastal plain regions where topography is flat and water tables are shallow. Using this as a case study\, we investigated different approaches of modelling flow using popular watershed model SWAT (Soil and Watershed Assessment Tool) as a simpler alternative to complex groundwater models. Since flows in SWAT are limited by watershed precipitation\, simulated flows were several times smaller in magnitude than observed flows. Calibration approaches involved manual amplification of baseflow with a multiplier (ENASH = 0.66)\, tweaking parameter RCHRGE_DP to allow extra water to be added to the system (ENASH = 0.75)\, and incorporating ANN (Artificial Neural Network) with SWAT to further improve calibration performance (ENASH = 0.88). These approaches provide managers and modelers useful tools to navigate similar flow calibration challenges in other groundwater dominant watersheds. Since data for models aimed at understanding wetland function are especially scarce for smaller wetlands (e.g.\, headwater slope wetlands)\, optimizing data collection to include only those most valuable for model predictions is a pressing need. Taking the case of nitrate\, we conducted a sensitivity analysis to assess if detailing surface inputs of organic nitrogen and ammonia (whose fluxes are linked with nitrate) were necessary to predict nitrate export from study headwater slope wetlands. Nitrate export\, modelled by model WetQual\, showed negligible sensitivity to organic nitrogen and ammonia inputs. Perhaps low residence times in study headwater slope wetlands\, which are typically gaining wetlands with no depressional storage\, afforded too little time for N transformations to effect nitrate export leading us to conclude that organic nitrogen and ammonia input data at high resolution are not as important as detailing nitrate inputs in low residence time\, groundwater interacting wetlands such as headwater slope wetlands. Wetland management also involves revitalizing streamside vegetation which are crucial in mitigating nonpoint pollution\, such as sediment pollution. With the objective of improving existing relationships describing sediment removal\, we compiled data from 54 studies (including online BMP database) concerning sediment trapping by vegetated buffers and recorded buffer characteristics (such as buffer width\, slope\, area\, vegetation type\, sediment and runoff loading\, runoff rates\, residence time\, roughness and sediment removal efficiency). An exponential regression model best described the relationship between sediment removal efficiency and volume ratio\, residence time and width further increased (R2 = 40.5%). This model was compared with performances derived from applying other sediment reduction regression models reported in literature namely those in White and Arnold (2009)\, Liu et al. (2008) and Zhang et al. (2010) to our database. Of these\, only the model presented by White and Arnold (2009) was statistically significant presumably because of the inclusion of runoff reduction in their study. The results of this study point towards the importance of considering flow in buffer design.

SUMMARY:Ph.D. Seminar: Micah Fern
DESCRIPTION:Forestry Ph.D. Seminar: Micah Fern\, Maj. Prof\, Dr. Becky Barlow \nTitle: Assessment and Synthetization of Extension Needs Encompassing the Economic and Ecological Impacts of Wild Hogs Among Young Pine Plantations \nLocation: 3315 Dixon Executive Conference Room \nDate: Tuesday\, December 5\, 2017 \nTime: 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. \nAbstract: \nThe southeastern United States has recently seen its first increases in Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) acreage after more than four centuries of decline thanks to ongoing restoration efforts. Connecting existing longleaf landscapes across this species’ native range depends largely on the successfully establishment of plantations on non-industrial private lands. As in Alabama\, the majority of forest lands in southeastern states are owned by non-industrial private landowners. Seedling depredation by wild hogs (Sus scrofa) poses a threat to longleaf restoration efforts especially in young forest plantations. Improving the knowledge base of wild hogs among young forest plantations will help guide better management decisions for non-industrial private landowners and resource professionals. This dissertation addresses extensions needs for information regarding wild hogs and explores the relationship between wild hogs and young forest plantations from two perspectives. \nFirst\, an extension publication was created to synthesize and organize resource material pertaining to wild hogs in order to supplement the nine year gap since the last published bibliography. Second\, a mail survey was conducted among non-industrial private landowners in Alabama to gain an understanding about wild hog damage and control in forest plantations. Findings were used to further explore the economics of wild hog damage and control for a stand level model utilizing longleaf. Third\, a field study was performed to determine wild hog’s preference among seedling species and to observe ecological factors influencing seedling depredation.
