ENSEMBLE SPECIES DISTRIBUTION MODELING AND MULTILOCUS PHYLOGEOGRAPHY PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE SPATIAL GENETIC PATTERNS AND DISTRIBUTION DYNAMICS OF A KEYSTONE FOREST SPECIES, QUERCUS GLAUCA

Ensemble species distribution modeling and multilocus phylogeography provide insight into the spatial genetic patterns and distribution dynamics of a keystone forest species, Quercus glauca

Abstract Background Forests are essential for maintaining species diversity, stabilizing local and global climate, and providing ecosystem services.Exploring the impact of paleogeographic events and climate change on the genetic structure and distribution dynamics of forest keystone species could help predict responses to future climate change.In t

Optimizing productivity in oil rims: simulation studies on horizontal well placement under simultaneous oil and gas production

Abstract Thin oil rim reservoirs are predominantly those with pay thickness of less than 100 ft.Oil production challenges arise due to the nature of the gas cap and aquifer in such reservoirs and well placement with respect to the fluid contacts.Case studies of oil rim reservoir and operational properties from the Niger-Delta region are used to bui
