SUMMARY:"Conserving Small Natural Features with Large Ecological Importance"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by:  Aram Calhoun and Mac Hunter\, Department of Wildlife\, Fisheries\, & Conservation Biology \nSmall Natural Features (SNFs) are analogous to keystone species in that they have ecological importance that is disproportionate to their small size. Consider coral heads in a sea grass dominated bay\, groundwater springs in a desert\, or the narrow riparian zones that line streams. The recognition and management of SNFs can be an efficient way to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. In particular\, while the small size of SNFs can engender threats (e.g.\, they are often overlooked and are relatively vulnerable to complete destruction)\, small size also leads to special conservation opportunities (e.g.\, integration with resource uses such as forestry or fisheries). In practice\, conservation of SNFs should be complementary to traditional\, larger-scale\, forms of conservation by engendering creative\, constructive efforts to conserve some seemingly minor features; features that have previously unknown or unappreciated roles critical to their broader ecosystems and to biodiversity. \n

SUMMARY:Researcher who found massive decline in blue mussels to speak at the Darling Marine Center
DESCRIPTION:Cascade Sorte\, a biologist who documented a massive decline in wild blue mussels in the Gulf of Maine\, will be at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center (DMC) in Walpole\, on Thursday\, October 6\, to present a “brown-bag” seminar. Her talk\, “Global change consequences and coping mechanisms in coastal marine systems\,” starts at noon. \nRecently\, Sorte’s research has received national media attention because of her findings that blue mussels have decreased by more than 60 percent over the last 40 years. Once covering two-thirds of the intertidal zone\, mussels now cover less than 15 percent. \n“It would be like losing a forest\,” Sorte\, an assistant professor at the University of California\, Irvine (UCI)\, told the Associated Press in September. \nBut the significance of her research goes beyond those alarming numbers. Climate change has already led to widespread changes in coastal marine systems\, according to Sorte. \nRecording how marine species have responded so far is a step toward understanding how they will—or won’t—survive in the future\, when changes in the coastal environment are predicted to accelerate. \n“There are several theories why the mussel decline happened—personally I think it is the result of green crabs—but before we can go very far into that line of research we need to know there is a widespread and distinct pattern\,” said Bob Steneck\, a University of Maine professor in the School of Marine Sciences\, who is based at the DMC. “Cascade Sorte’s work did just that. It will be the foundation for most future research in that area.” \nThe study\, which Sorte conducted with colleagues from UCI\, was recently published in the Global Change Biology journal. The presentation will be a return to Maine for Sorte\, who has been coming to the DMC as a visiting researcher since 2007. \nThe DMC is located at 193 Clarks Cove Road in Walpole\, and the talk will take place in Brooke Hall on the lower waterfront campus. Please bring your own brown bag lunch. \nThe University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center is the state’s hub for applied research for coastal fisheries\, aquaculture\, and environmental monitoring.
