    Complete Data and Analysis for: Effects of seed traits and dormancy break treatments on germination of four aquatic plant species

    No full text
    There are two data files--one for germination and one for viability--each comprising a set of seeds (each row is a seed) with measured traits, the treatments to which they were subjected (germination only) and their germination date or viability assessment. Germination trial data from the chamber and seed photos referenced in the datasets are also included. The script included will read these files into R and conduct the analyses included in the companion manuscript.This repository contains the raw data and code necessary to conduct the analyses in the companion paper.This research was supported by: the Minnesota Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (M.V., D.L.); the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program at the University of Minnesota (J.B.); the National Science Foundation (M.V., Graduate Research Fellowship Program [Grant No. CON-75851, project 00074041]); and the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station (D.L.).

    Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)

    The object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients

    Poetry for the city? Philip Larkin and Others

    No full text
    Philip Larkin will surely feature in our year as City of Culture in 2017 as the most famous and popular writer in modern times to dwell in and write about Hull. His poetry and that of others like him who have by turns celebrated and criticised the city’s qualities will be taken as the basis to revive the suggestion that Hull is a ‘poetic’ place. This session will look at what Larkin and others actually have to say about Hull and ask how people today engage with these poems and the ideas they contain. Dr Daniel Weston is Lecturer in Twentieth-Century English Literature at the University of Hull. He has research interests in a broad span of twentieth- and twenty-first-century poetry, fiction and non-fiction prose. He is currently working on a study of contemporary poetry addressing issues of environment and ecology. James Underwood is a PhD candidate and part-time tutor in the Department of English, University of Hull. His research, funded by a University scholarship, focuses on identity in the work of Philip Larkin

    (Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)

    This report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

    Data and analysis supporting: Quantifying aquatic plant commonness and cooccurrence across scales to support ecological understanding and management

    Data and R code necessary to reproduce the results of the publication. This DRUM submission includes a Quarto document for reproducing the analyses, a PDF markdown document that was generated from the Quarto file, and 11 files (10 .rds, 1 .csv) with the underlying data. Note that 11 of the species in the dataset are protected species in Minnesota, for which locality information is required to be anonymized. These have been renamed “protected_spp1”, “protected_spp2”, etc. in data files denoted with the suffix “_anon”. The actual species names are used in the manuscript where applicable. This introduces some subtle differences in outputs from this repository relative to the results shown in the manuscript.These data and R statistical code support the publication, "Quantifying aquatic plant commonness and cooccurrence across scales to support ecological understanding and management," in Journal of Ecology. We analyzed aquatic plant surveys from 1,658 lakes across Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA, collected over two decades (2000-2022) and encompassing nearly one million sampling points. These data were collected by agency staff, consultants, researchers, and others who performed the thousands of aquatic plant surveys that enabled this work. For 106 focal taxa, we quantified commonness as occupancy (at regional and local scales) and cooccurrence as diversity fields (the mean species richness of lakes or sampling locations where each focal species occurred). We used statistical models that incorporated environmental, spatial, and temporal covariates to correct for biased sampling and isolate community processes from other influential factors, and leveraged the temporal span of the data to investigate interannual variability in commonness and cooccurrence.Funder: Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC)Funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) and the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).Minnesota Agricultural Experiment StationMidwest Glacial Lakes PartnershipLarkin, Daniel J; Verhoeven, Michael R; Walsh, Jake R; Johnson, James A.

    abstract: Daniel was a little boy when the war came to his village. He witnessed people being shot and running for shelter. There was no food or water so he drank urine and ate tree leaves. “Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
