Concordance of seabird population parameters: Analytical methods and interpretation

1996, Conference Paper, Studies of high-latitude seabirds: 4) Trophic relationships and energetics of endotherms in cold ocean systems (Occasional Papers of the Canadian Wildlife Service, no. 91)
In an ecological context, concordance may be defined as the tendency for paired values of some parameter, such as the annual productivity of bird species, to show similar directions and magnitudes of deviation from the mean. Where concordance among populations is high, there is an implied similarity of the ecological...

1996, Global Biogeochemical Cycles (10) 727-736
Previous climate model simulations have shown that the configuration of the Earth's orbit during the early to mid-Holocene (approximately 10–5 kyr) can account for the generally warmer-than-present conditions experienced by the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere. New simulations for 6 kyr with two atmospheric/mixed-layer ocean models (Community Climate Model,...
