| ACNO: 000868 AUTHOR: Nelson, Bruce W. ; Fink, L. Kenneth TITLE: GEOLOGICAL AND BOTANICAL FEATURES OF SAND BEACH SYSTEMS IN MAINE SOURCE: University of Maine at Orono, Sea Grant Publications, Bulletin 14; Orono, Maine; 163 p.; 1980 ABSTRACT: After an introductory section on beach processes this report inventories Maine beaches for consideration by Maine Critical Areas Program. Introduction covers: beach sand, its sources and interaction with natural physical forces; beach processes (waves, winds, tides, storms, currents, glacial events and sediment characteristics, relative rise of sea level); response forms and geomorphic features (major wave depositional forms, ephemeral and minor wave depositional and erosional forms, major wind depositional forms, sedimentary structures). The critical areas evaluation includes a listing of Maine beaches; geological and botanical criteria for significance; dune plant species and associations; partial list of berm and dune plants; descriptions of 27 significant sandy beaches; and specific evaluation and recommendations under the critical areas program guidelines.

| ACNO: AUTHOR: Ruskin, Katherine J. TITLE: Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Demographic Rates and Niche Across the Range of a Species, the Saltmarsh Sparrow (Ammodramus caudacutus) SOURCE: University of Maine, Orono, Ph.D. Dissertation in Ecology and Environmental Sciences; Orono, Maine; 145 p.; 2015 ABSTRACT: In this project, we examined various hypotheses that address one of the fundamental questions in ecology and evolution: what determines the range of a species? We used demographic data for saltmarsh sparrows (Ammodramus caudacutus) collected over the majority of the global breeding range. Saltmarsh sparrows are considered threatened by climate change, specifically sea level rise, which is predicted to result in loss of the tidal marsh habitat where saltmarsh sparrows live across their entire life cycle. For my dissertation, I investigated the reproductive biology of saltmarsh sparrows both to provide vital information for wildlife managers and to explore broad questions in ecological and evolutionary theory. We examined the spatial variation in risks to fecundity, vital rates, and niches across the global range of a species. We were thus able to investigate some of the most fundamental concepts in ecology, the drivers of species’ distributions and spatial and temporal variation in niches. Specifically, I 1) explored competing risks to saltmarsh sparrow fecundity across their global range; 2) quantified saltmarsh sparrow fecundity across the range and tested whether fecundity decreases from the range center to its periphery; 3) characterized the nesting niche of saltmarsh sparrows across a large spatial scale to determine whether niche conservatism holds in this system; and 4) investigated differences in nesting niches between saltmarsh and sympatric Nelson’s sparrows and the fitness consequences of those differences. The results of these chapters suggest that though saltmarsh sparrow fecundity is influenced by large-scale factors such as global predation gradients, the saltmarsh sparrow range is not determined by large-scale trends in demographic rates or habitat marginality with latitude or between sister species.

A 10 degree square: a four digit grid locator is used; digit 1 is for
quadrant of the world (7 = NW), digit 2 is for tens of degrees of
latitude, digits 3 and 4 are for hundreds and tens of degrees of
longitude; thus ''7(408)'' indicates (4)0 N/(08)0 W (that is, the 10
degree square of which this point is the lower right hand corner)
B 1 degree square: digits 5 and 6 give units of degrees; thus 7408(25)
indicates 4(2) N/08(5) W
C 10 minute square: digits 7 and 8 give tens of minutes; thus 740825(34)
indicates 42 degrees (3)0 minutes N/085 degrees (4)0 minutes W
D 1 minute square: digits 9 and 10 give units of minutes; thus
