• Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “Often a combination of approaches can greatly enhance the overall picture: for instance, in empirical surveys of natural systems, Milner et al. (2000, 2008) studied glacier retreat through real time over several decades, in addition to using space-for-time substitutions for stream communities in…”
• Sentinel systems on the razor's edge: effects of warming on Arctic geothermal stream ecosystems (2010, result): “Other recent studies in Iceland, continental Europe and North America have revealed similar shifts in chironomid assemblages as stream temperatures rise with decreasing glacial influence (Ólafsson et al., 2000, 2002; Rossaro et al., 2006; Brown et al., 2007; Milner et al., 2008).”
• Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, methodology): “…colonization by poor dispersers (e.g. short adult flying distance or non-insect taxa lacking aerial stages) due to barriers such as coastal inlets and high © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 18, 2195–2204 mountain ranges (Milner et al., 2008), play a role in community assembly.”
• Genetic variation and effective population size in isolated populations of coastal cutthroat trout (2010, background): “Retreat of the ice sheet was largely complete in this region by about 12,500 BP (Mann 1986), leaving many new streams exposed for colonization by fish from saltwater, which can occur very quickly, on the order of years to decades (Milner et al. 2008).”
