Metapopulation dynamics of the softshell clam, Mya arenaria
No full textSubmitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution June 2008In this dissertation, I explored metapopulation dynamics and population connectivity,
with a focus on the softshell clam, Mya arenaria. I first worked towards developing
a method for using elemental signatures retained in the larval shell as a tag of natal
habitat. I designed and implemented an experiment to determine whether existing
methods commonly used for fishes would be applicable to bivalves. I found that the
instrumentation and setup I used were not able to isolate and measure the first larval
shell of M. arenaria. In concert with developing this method for bivalves, I reared
larval M. arenaria in the laboratory under controlled conditions to understand the
environmental and biological factors that may influence elemental signatures in shell.
My results show that growth rate and age have significant effects on juvenile shell
composition, and that temperature and salinity affect larval and juvenile shell composition in variable ways depending on the element evaluated. I also examined the
regional patterns of diversity over the current distribution of M. arenaria using the
mitochondrial gene, cytochrome oxidase I (COI). I found minimal variability across
all populations sampled, suggesting a recent population expansion in the Northwest
Atlantic. Finally, I employed theoretical approaches to understand patch dynamics in
a two-patch metapopulation when one patch is of high quality and the other low quality. I developed a matrix metapopulation model and compared growth rate elasticity
to patch parameters under variable migration scenarios. I then expanded the model
to include stochastic disturbance. I found that in many cases, the spatial distribution
of individuals within the metapopulation affects whether growth rate is most elastic
to parameters in the good or bad patch.Financial support was provided by the National Defense Science and Engineer-

Spatially Explicit Data: Stewardship and Ethical Challenges in Science
No full textabstract: Scholarly communication is at an unprecedented turning point created in part by the increasing saliency of data stewardship and data sharing. Formal data management plans represent a new emphasis in research, enabling access to data at higher volumes and more quickly, and the potential for replication and augmentation of existing research. Data sharing has recently transformed the practice, scope, content, and applicability of research in several disciplines, in particular in relation to spatially specific data. This lends exciting potentiality, but the most effective ways in which to implement such changes, particularly for disciplines involving human subjects and other sensitive information, demand consideration. Data management plans, stewardship, and sharing, impart distinctive technical, sociological, and ethical challenges that remain to be adequately identified and remedied. Here, we consider these and propose potential solutions for their amelioration.The article is published at http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.100163

The New Paternalism
No full textThe author argues that the belief that patient autonomy has great
moral value has justified a new form of medical paternalism which can have
effects similar to those of the old rejected form. He cites the argument that
"all illness represents a state of diminished autonomy" and that therefore
autonomy is not overridden when physicians make all decisions. Another view
is that, in some situations, withholding information may prevent patient
deterioration and loss of autonomy. Abridgement of present autonomy, then, is
permissible if it promotes future autonomy. Strasser also rejects physician
decision making based on patients' previously communicated values or on the
theory that patient values are important but not decisive. He concludes that
if we "allow paternalistic practices, then we should admit that we are denying
autonomy in light of some other good rather than claim that, somehow, we are
respecting autonomy by abridging it." (KIE abstract

DataUp: Enabling data stewardship for researchers
No full text"Recognizing that most Earth, environmental, and ecological scientists use spreadsheets at some point in the life cycles of their data, the California Digital Library partnered with Microsoft Research Connections and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to create a tool for Microsoft ® Excel that would encourage and enable good data stewardship practices. The resulting DataUp tool facilitates documenting, managing, and archiving tabular scientific data. It comes in two forms, both open-source: an add-in for Excel and a web-based application. Both the add-in and the web application provide users with the ability to (1) Perform a ""best practices check"" to ensure data are well formatted and organized; (2) Create standardized metadata, or a description of the data, using a wizard-style template; (3) Retrieve a unique identifier for their dataset from their data repository, and (4) Post their datasets and associated metadata to the repository."is peer reviewedSubmitted by Tristan Gable ([email protected]) on 2013-02-03T05:28:47Z
