The Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea) is a declining Nearctic-Neotropical migratory species of conservation concern. Implementing full annual cycle conservation strategies to facilitate recovery has been difficult because we know little about the migratory period or connectivity between North American breeding regions and South American non-breeding regions. Between 2014–2017, we deployed geolocators on 282 males at 13 study sites throughout the species’ range with the objectives of a) evaluating the strength of connectivity between breeding and...

Background: Allegheny woodrats (Neotoma magister) are found in metapopulations distributed throughout the Interior Highlands and Appalachia. Historically these metapopulations persisted as relatively fluid networks, enabling gene flow between subpopulations and recolonization of formerly extirpated regions. However, over the past 45 years, Allegheny woodrat populations have experienced population declines throughout their range due to a combination of habitat destruction, declining hard mast availability, and roundworm parasitism. In an effort to initiate genetic rescue of a small,...

Additional file 1: Microsatellite genotypes of woodrats sampled in 2009, 2011 and 2012 in the Palisades, NJ. The spreadsheets labeled “Raw Data” and “data GenAlEx” include the genotypes for twenty-eight individuals genotyped at 11 microsatellite loci. These individuals had relatively low genetic variability, as indicated by number of alleles (spreadsheets AFP and AGL), observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity (spreadsheet HFP).

Southern Ocean paleoceanography provides key insights into how iron fertilization and oceanic productivity developed through Pleistocene ice-ages and their role in influencing the carbon cycle. We report the first high-resolution record of dust deposition and ocean productivity for the Antarctic Zone, close to the main dust source, Patagonia. Our deep-ocean records cover the last 1.5 Ma, thus doubling that from Antarctic ice-cores. We find a ≥10-fold increase in dust deposition during glacials and a ≤5-fold...
