Species richness and relative abundance of breeding birds in forests of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley Species richness and relative abundance of breeding birds in forests of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley
In 1992, the Vicksburg Field Research Station of the National Wetlands Research Center initiated research on the ecology of migratory birds within forests of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV). The MAV was historically a nearly contiguous bottomland hardwood forest, however, only remnants remain. These remnants are fragmented and often influenced by drainage projects, silviculture...

Evaluation of three elevated mist-net systems for sampling birds Evaluation of three elevated mist-net systems for sampling birds
Three light-weight, low-canopy mist-net systems were developed and tested in dry tropical scrub, mangrove and forest habitats. One plastic (polyvinyl chloride) and two aluminum pole systems (with and without pulleys) were used to support mist nets to heights of up to 7.3 m. Although the aluminum telescoping-pole system (without pulleys) was expensive initially ( 79-141/unit (US)), its...

Toxicity of sediments and pore water from Brunswick Estuary, Georgia Toxicity of sediments and pore water from Brunswick Estuary, Georgia
A chlor-alkali plant in Brunswick, Georgia, USA, discharged >2 kg mercury/d into a tributary of the Turtle River-Brunswick Estuary from 1966 to 1971. Mercury concentrations in sediments collected in 1989 along the tributary near the chlor-alkali plant ranged from 1 to 27 μg/g (dry weight), with the highest concentrations found in surface (0–8 cm) sediments of subtidal zones in the...

Biomarkers of contaminant exposure in common terns and black-crowned night herons in the Great Lakes Biomarkers of contaminant exposure in common terns and black-crowned night herons in the Great Lakes
Morphological and biochemical indexes of contaminant exposure were examined in hatching common terns (Sterna hirundo) and black-crowned night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) from industrialized and nonindustrialized locations in the Great Lakes. In 1984, naturally incubated, pipping common tern and black-crowned night heron embryos collected from industrialized locations exhibited smaller...

The 'robust' capture-recapture design allows components of recruitment to be estimated The 'robust' capture-recapture design allows components of recruitment to be estimated
The 'robust' capture-recapture design (Pollock 1982) allows analyses which combine features of closed population model analyses (Otis et aI., 1978, White et aI., 1982) and open population model analyses (Pollock et aI., 1990). Estimators obtained under these analyses are more robust to unequal catch ability than traditional Jolly-Seber estimators (Pollock, 1982; Pollock et al., 1990...
