Reversed sexual dimorphism and altered prey base: the effect on sooty owl (Tyto tenebricosa tenebricosa) diet.
Bilney, R. J.; White, J. G.; Cooke, R.; CSIRO, Collingwood, Australia, Australian Journal of Zoology, 2011, 59, 5, pp 302-311, many ref. The ecology and function of many Australian predators has likely been disrupted following major changes in prey base due to declines in distribution and abundance of small mammals following European settlement. This study investigated various aspects of t...

Ship-borne nonindigenous species diminish Great Lakes ecosystem services.
Rothlisberger, J. D.; Finnoff, D. C.; Cooke, R. M.; Lodge, D. M.; Springer, New York, USA, Ecosystems, 2012, 15, 3, pp 462-476, 49 ref. We used structured expert judgment and economic analysis to quantify annual impacts on ecosystem services in the Great Lakes, North America of nonindigenous aquatic species introduced by ocean-going ships. For the US waters, median damages aggregated acro...

Using expert judgment to estimate marine ecosystem vulnerability in the California Current.
Teck, S. J.; Halpern, B. S.; Kappel, C. V.; Micheli, F.; Selkoe, K. A.; Crain, C. M.; Martone, R.; Shearer, C.; Arvai, J.; Fischhoff, B.; Murray, G.; Neslo, R.; Cooke, R.; Ecological Society of America, Washington, USA, Ecological Applications, 2010, 20, 5, pp 1402-1416 As resource management and conservation efforts move toward multi-sector, ecosystem-based approaches, we need methods for comparing the varying responses of ecosystems to the impacts of human activities in order to prioritize management efforts, allocate ...

Silvicultural options to reduce pine susceptibility to attack by a newly detected invasive species, Sirex noctilio.
Dodds, K. J.; Cooke, R. R.; Gilmore, D. W.; Society of American Foresters, Bethesda, USA, Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 2007, 24, 3, pp 165-167, 27 ref. A non-native woodwasp of Eurasian origin, Sirex noctilio, was detected recently in Oswego, New York, USA infesting Scots (Pinus sylvestris), red (Pinus resinosa), and white pine (Pinus strobus). Sirex noctilio has caused periodic widespread losses of pine...

Some effects of temperature on germination and longevity of sclerotia in Claviceps purpurea. Water uptake, respiration pattern and lipid utilization in sclerotia of Claviceps purpurea during germination.
MITCHELL, D. T.; COOKE, R. C.; Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1968, 51, 5, pp 721-729 a. At Univ. Sheffield it was shown that to activate germination of sclerotia from grass spp. from differing habitats, chilling for several weeks at 0-10°C was necessary (the higher the chilling temp., the longer the incubation period needed). Opt. temps, ...

Germination pattern and capacity for repeated stroma formation in Claviceps purpurea.
COOKE, R. C.; MITCHELL, D. T.; Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1967, 50, 2, pp 275-283 Ascospore discharge from sclerotia from Phalaris arundinacea occurred over a longer period than had previously been supposed and the periodic removal of clavae from germinated sclerotia increased the number of stromata formed. The physiological significan...
