The Foraging Ecology of Royal and Sandwich Terns in North Carolina, USA The Foraging Ecology of Royal and Sandwich Terns in North Carolina, USA
Population sizes of territorial male red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) were determined with counts of territorial males (area count) and a Petersen-Lincoln Index method for roadsides (roadside estimate). Weather conditions and time of day did not influence either method. Combined roadside estimates had smaller error bounds than the individual transect estimates and were not...

History and management of crown-fire ecosystems: A summary and response History and management of crown-fire ecosystems: A summary and response
Some ecosystems, such as yellow pine forests, have had a long history of frequent surface fires, but because of fire suppression policy, fires have been largely excluded from them during the last century (Covington 2000). Unnatural fuel accumulation in these forests has increased the potential for large, catastrophic crown fires, and re-introduction of prescribed fire is one remedy for...

Contaminant profiles of two species of shorebirds foraging together at two neighboring sites in south San Francisco Bay, California Contaminant profiles of two species of shorebirds foraging together at two neighboring sites in south San Francisco Bay, California
The San Francisco Bay estuary isused by over one million shorebirds during springmigration and is home to several hundred thousandduring the winter. Most shorebird use occurs in thesouthern reach of the estuary (South Bay). Thereduced water circulation and discharge fromindustrial sources in the South Bay are responsiblefor the highest levels of some trace elements in theestuary...
