Abstract:
Conserving rare species and protecting biodiversity depends on sound information on the nature of rarity. Rarity is multidimensional, presenting the need for a quantitative classification scheme by which to label species as rare or common. I defined rarity for freshwater fishes based on the range extents, habitat breadths, and site abundance and examined the relationship between these dimensions of rarity and imperilment. Imperiled fishes were most often rare by all three dimensions, whereas undesignated species were most often common by all three dimensions. Next, I examined the effect of sampling intensity on observed rarity of stream fish using different numerical and proportional rarity criteria and found that increasing sampling intensity increased the number of species labelled as rare with proportional criteria but did not affect the number of species labelled as rare with numerical criteria. Additional electrofishing passes within a fixed reach increases the likelihood of detecting rare and endemic species. A tradeoff between information collected and sampling resources should be carefully considered in the context of objectives when sampling for rare species. Finally, I examined the effect of regional and watershed habitat variables, biotic interaction variables, and instream habitat variables, on the rare or common status on 23 North American freshwater fishes. I also compared biological and reproductive traits among species classified into the rarity framework. Rarity was successfully explained in 19 of the 23 species and I found that regional and watershed habitat variables were the most important predictors of rarity. I also found that species large body size, high fecundity, and long age at maturity were generally more common by range extent and site abundance while those species that did not guard nests were more frequently rare by site abundance. These results indicate that large-scale variables can be used to successfully predict species rarity and rare fishes differ in their biology and reproduction from common fishes.

Dalrymple, Sarah. "Rarity and conservation of Melampyrum sylvaticum." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2006. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=128181.

Full text
Abstract:
Melampyrum sylvaticum (small cow-wheat) is a hemiparasitic annual of boreal-montane regions of Europe.  The Species Action Plan recommended that in addition to protecting extant populations, by 2010 there should be an additional five populations that have been created with the aim of enhancing greater genetic diversity of the species.  Consequently this project was set up in order to provide the ecological knowledge required to meet such targets. There are various management options available to conservationists looking to prevent Melampyrum sylvaticum’s extinction from the UK but from the results of this project it is clear that some methods have drawbacks that should preclude their use.  Population augmentation with seeds from other populations is not advised due to the risk of genetic ‘swamping’ or outbreeding depression.  Seed amplification would avoid these problems but may introduce different complications by artificially promoting certain genotypes within a population. Population expansion by mimicking ant dispersal is recommended as a way of minimizing density dependent mortality in larger populations but is not suitable in smaller populations. Seed translocation to unoccupied sites is therefore, the best option but the exact details of seed-sourcing and sowing should be guided by the results of the Species Recovery Project in order to avoid predicted limitations. The long-term outlook for M. sylvaticum will depend entirely on whether populations can be created that operate as part of a functioning ecosystem (including pollinating and seed-dispersing insects) with enough demographic and genetic stability to survive predicted climate change.

Abstract:
Bibliography: pages 144-153.
Biological extinction rates have escalated by as much as 1000 times the background extinction rate over the last 1500 years, causing concern over the long-term survival of many species. Avian extinctions since 1600 have been well documented relative to other taxa, as have current levels of avian threat. This study analyses avian extinctions post-1600 and current threats in an attempt to develop some predictive capacity about which avian taxa should be awarded the highest conservation priority. Analyses performed include examinations of the causes of avian extinction and threat, geographical location of extinct and threatened species, prehistoric and historical extinction rates, endemicity, migration, bird body size and phylogenetic diversity. An analysis dealing with historical and phylogenetic aspects of endangered and critically threatened species was performed, from which the world's most threatened species were identified. Factors which were the primary cause of historical extinctions are generally not the primary factors threatening today's extant avifauna. Whilst introduced predators and exploitation were primary causes of historical extinctions, habitat destruction poses the greatest threat to extant birds. Species predisposed to extinction typically have restricted ranges, and, compounded by habitat loss, these ranges are becoming more restricted. This has resulted in mainland-dwelling species becoming as prone to extinction as island-dwelling species have been historically. Introduced predators, however, do still threaten many of the world's most threatened species and their potential effects are highlighted in the phylogenetic analysis. Already, many extinctions may be inevitable over the next 25 years as a result of habitat loss. The magnitude of extinctions across all animal and plant species in the next few decades could be comparable with that of previous mass extinctions unless immediate conservation action is taken. However, future conservation efforts will have to be prioritized, and this study is intended as a contribution towards such a prioritization exercise.

Abstract:

Patterns of site occupancy among boreal stream insects were studied in central Sweden with focus on sparsely distributed species and the role of dispersal and niche limitations.

In the study of dispersal limitation, I found that effects of an extraordinarily harsh winter in small to medium-sized streams were strongest in sites located in small streams and far from lake outlets. Species richness and the total abundance of macroinvertebrates and trout returned to pre-disturbance levels after three years. However, some species showed slow recolonization and the proportion of holoaquatic taxa was still reduced after three years. In a second study, I found a positive correlation between site occupancy in stream caddisflies and morphological traits associated with fast and energy-efficient flight, whereas specialized spring caddisflies showed a negative correlation to these traits compared to stream species. This suggested that streams, but not springs, select for strong dispersal ability in caddisflies. In a survey of springs in central Sweden, hydrogeology was found to be a useful predictor of the occurrence of spring specialists. Two of these, Crunoecia irrorata Curtis and Parachiona picicornis (Pictet), were found exclusively in glaciofluvial springs, characterized by a stable discharge and temperature. Less specialized members of the spring fauna (i.e. species also occurring in streams, ponds or lakes) also occurred in moraine and limestone springs characterized by more unstable conditions.

Niche limitations were studied by contrasting large-scale distributions of closely related rare and common stoneflies. Differences in temperature requirements in the juvenile stages and life cycles suggested that the rare species, Isogenus nubecula Newman, was restricted by a limited tolerance to low stream temperatures, whereas the two common species, Isoperla grammatica (Poda) and Diura nanseni (Kempny), appeared to have a broader tolerance to climatic conditions in the study area. In a second study of niche limitations, macroinvertebrate assemblages in 88 streams in Central Sweden showed a nested distribution pattern. Most species deviating from expected distributions occurred in small streams, indicating competitive exclusion from species-rich sites, predator avoidance, or specialization to unique habitat features of small streams. In the last paper, the longitudinal distribution of filter-feeding caddisflies in a lake-outlet stream demonstrated patterns concordant to feeding specialization.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of science and technology, our society has been in the big data era. In human activities, we produce a lot of data in every second and every minute, what contain much information. Then, how to select the useful information from those complicated data is a significant issue. So the association rules mining, a technique of mining patterns or associations between itemsets, comes into being. And this technique aims to find some important associations in data to get useful knowledge. Nowadays, most scholars at home and abroad focus on the frequent pattern mining. However, it is undeniable that the rare pattern mining also plays an important role in many areas, such as the medical, financial, and scientific field. Comparing with frequent pattern mining, studying rare pattern mining is more valuable, because it tends to find unknown, unexpected, and more interesting rules. But the study of rare pattern mining is little difficult because of the scarcity of data used for verifying rules. In the frequent pattern mining, there are two general algorithms of discovering frequent itemsets, i.e., Apriori, the earliest algorithm which is proposed by R.Agrawal in 1994, and FP-Tree, the improved algorithm which reduced the time complexity. And in rare pattern mining, there are also two algorithms, Arima and Rarity, what are similar to Apriori and FP-Tree algorithms, but they still exist some problems, for example, Arima is time-consuming because of repeatedly scanning the large database, and Rarity is space-consuming because of the establishment of the full-combination tree. Therefore, based on the Rarity algorithm, this report presents an improved method to efficiently discover interesting association rules among rare itemsets and aims to get a balance between time and space. It is a top-down strategy which uses the graph structure to indicate all combinations of existing items, defines pattern matrix to record itemsets, and combines the hash table to accelerate calculation process. This method decreases both the time cost and the space cost when comparing with Arima, and reduces the space waste to solve the problem of Rarity, but its searching time of mining rare itemsets is more than Rarity, and we verified the feasibility of this algorithm only on abstract and small databases. Thus in the future, on the one hand, we will continue improving our method to explore how to decrease the searching time in the process and adjust the hash function to optimize the space utilization. And on the other hand, we will apply our method to actual large databases, such as the clinical database of the diabetic patients to mine association rules in diabetic complications.

Abstract:
The decline of bumblebee (Bombus spp.) populations in the UK and worldwide has been well reported. It has been generally assumed that such declines result in the genetic impoverishment of some species, potentially leading to reduced fitness and increased extinction risk. This study tested the fundamental assumption linking population fragmentation with fitness, in a model system of two Bombus species native to the UK. Bombus monticola has declined significantly in range across the UK in recent years and occupies fragmented upland areas, while Bombus pratorum has remained abundant and widespread over many habitat types. The effects of genetic diversity on fitness have been addressed in wild Bombus species, but this is the first study to explicitly compare data from species of differing levels of population connectivity and hence test the assumptions of traditional population genetic theory. As genetic diversity has often been linked with immunocompetence, aspects of the innate immune response were quantified, together with parasite load. These empirical measures of fitness showed lower than expected variability between the two study species, and no evidence was found to support the theory of lower fitness in fragmented populations. However, the considerable variability between sample sites in both species for all parameters measured raised interesting questions as to the underlying evolutionary processes; it is postulated that B. monticola populations may maintain a higher than expected Ne, despite their fragmented distribution. This study also provided methodological developments. An alternative method for the quantification of wing wear as a proxy for age was proposed, which could be easily applied to other Bombus species and possibly adapted for use in other flying insects. In addition possible sources of error in AFLP analysis were highlighted which have not been adequately discussed in the current literature, namely the effects of sample storage. Given the utility of AFLPs for non-model species, this is an important avenue for future research, and would be applicable to studies in other systems. Overall, the data presented here emphasise the challenges of studying fitness in wild populations, and underline the requirement for research into the fundamental principles underlying many assumptions made by conservation genetic theory.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 93-107.
The Cape Peninsula, (471 km²) with over 2285 vascular plant species, is characterised by the combination of a diversity of habitats supporting a mosaic of vegetation types. This study attempts to describe and explain some of the determinants of species pattern and distribution. The first part of this thesis compares a simple vegetation classification, derived from visual examination of dominant species and environmental characteristics, with the result of a multivariate classification derived from the analysis of an extensive database (835 plots, 833 species). This rapid system of classification of fynbos showed an 81 similarity with Two-Way Analysis (TWA) classification. Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) and Colonial Analysis (CCA) were used to relate floristic variation to environmental factors. These analyses revealed that altitude, rainfall and soil fertility were the principle environmental factors explaining species distribution.

Abstract:
The multiple schema for the classification of soils rely on differing criteria but the major soil science systems, including the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the international harmonized World Reference Base for Soil Resources soil classification systems, are primarily based on inferred pedogenesis. Largely these classifications are compiled from individual observations of soil characteristics within soil profiles, and the vast majority of this pedologic information is contained in nonquantitative text descriptions. We present initial text mining analyses of parsed text in the digitally available USDA soil taxonomy documentation and the Soil Survey Geographic database. Previous research has shown that latent information structure can be extracted from scientific literature using Natural Language Processing techniques, and we show that this latent information can be used to expedite query performance by using syntactic elements and part-of-speech tags as indices. Technical vocabulary often poses a text mining challenge due to the rarity of its diction in the broader context. We introduce an extension to the common English vocabulary that allows for nearly-complete indexing of USDA Soil Series Descriptions.

Abstract:
As sandhill crane populations continue to grow in the United States, so too does crop damage, property damage to homeowners, and the risk of crane collisions with aircraft. Whooping crane populations also continue to grow, but with a global population of about 500 individuals (as of 2017), damage is rare and problems often require different solutions due to the species’ endangered status. The sandhill crane (Grus canadensis), is a long-lived, member of the crane family (Gruidae) and the most numerous of the 15 crane species found worldwide. Over the last 50 years, the species has grown from a rarity─ requiring extensive protection─ to an abundant, widespread species. As their populations have increased, so too have their conflicts with people. Both sandhill and whooping cranes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This law strictly prohibits the capture, killing, or possession of sandhill and whooping cranes without proper permits. However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) can issue depredation permits under this act for the shooting of sandhill cranes that causeagricultural damage or threaten human health and safety. No federal permit is required to use non-lethal management methods to reduce damage by sandhill cranes.

Abstract:
There is a fraught history to the relationship between creative industries on the one hand and innovation and entrepreneurship policy and programs on the other. Such policy and program frameworks have rarely been inclusive of creative industries... This is, however, what we see happening in South Australia.

Abstract:
A gap exists between research on learning and research on interest. Cognitive researchers rarely consider motivational processes, and interest researchers rarely consider cognitive process. However, it is essential to consider both since achievement and interest are in fact intertwined. In this paper we (1) discuss a theoretical model that intertwines cognitive and interest development, (2) describe how that model informed the development of educational materials, and (3) report on the results of the cognitive components of a randomized research study examining the impact of text genre on learning and interest. In our prior analyses, we examined the effects of text characteristics (i.e., narrative or expository genre) on situational interest. We found that students with higher levels of prior individual interest preferred the narrative versions of text whereas students with lower levels of prior individual interest preferred the expository versions of text. In this paper, we examine the impact of text characteristics on student learning. The results of this research showed that contrary to prior research, there was no significant difference in comprehension based on text characteristics. These results provide evidence that is possible to differentiate instruction based students' prior interest without sacrificing learning outcomes.
