Wintering site fidelity and movement patterns of Western Sandpipers Calidris mauri in the San Francisco Bay estuary Wintering site fidelity and movement patterns of Western Sandpipers Calidris mauri in the San Francisco Bay estuary
Western Sandpipers Calidris mauri are the most numerous shorebird species in the San Francisco Bay estuary during winter. A sample of 106 Western Sandpipers was captured in mist nets and radio-marked with 1-g transmitters to examine their wintering site fidelity and movements. Differences in distances moved, home range extent and core area size were examined by age, sex, season, site...

Physical properties of woody fuel particles of Sierra Nevada conifers Physical properties of woody fuel particles of Sierra Nevada conifers
A study of the physical properties of Sierra Nevada conifer fuel particles showed that average diameter, squared quadratic mean diameter, surface-area-to-volume ratio, and specific gravity varied significantly by species for all four timelag fuel diameter size classes. The nonhorizontal angle was not significantly affected by size class, and the developmental stage of the overstory did...
