Interaction of soil moisture and seedling shelters on water relations of baldcypress seedlings Interaction of soil moisture and seedling shelters on water relations of baldcypress seedlings

Stomata1 conductance, transpiration, and leaf water potential were measured during the 1996 growing season on baldcypress (Taxodium disfichum (L.) Rich.) seedlings. Seedlings were hand-planted from 1-O bareroot stock in mesic and permanently Rooded soil conditions. One-half of all seedlings were fitted with 122-cm tall polyethylene tree shelters, Seedlings were planted 1 year before the...

Winter ecology of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler Winter ecology of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler

We studied the ecology of the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) during three winter seasons, 1995-1998, in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. Individuals of this species occurred almost exclusively as members of mixed-species flocks, occupying sites with greater densities of encino oak and ground cover and fewer pines than random sites. Most foraging observations were recorded...

Status and distribution of the angonoka tortoise (Geochelone yniphora) of western Madagascar Status and distribution of the angonoka tortoise (Geochelone yniphora) of western Madagascar

From 1993 to 1995, field surveys were conducted in western Madagascar to assess the current status of the angonoka tortoise (Geochelone yniphora) in the wild. Tortoise presence was documented at 10 of 11 localities surveyed. These localities represent at least five populations, all within a 30-km radius of Baly Bay, near the town of Soalala. The populations occur on fragments of habitat...

Exposure of great egret (Ardea albus) nestlings to mercury through diet in the Everglades ecosystem Exposure of great egret (Ardea albus) nestlings to mercury through diet in the Everglades ecosystem

We estimated exposure of great egret (Ardea albus) nestlings to mercury in food in the Florida Everglades, USA, by collecting regurgitated food samples during the 1993 to 1996 breeding seasons and during 1995 measured concentrations of mercury in individual prey items from those samples. Great egret nestlings had a diet composed predominantly of fish (>95% of biomass), though the species...

Wetland restoration, flood pulsing, and disturbance dynamics Wetland restoration, flood pulsing, and disturbance dynamics

While it is generally accepted that flood pulsing and disturbance dynamics are critical to wetland viability, there is as yet no consensus among those responsible for wetland restoration about how best to plan for those phenomena or even whether it is really necessary to do so at all. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Beth Middleton draws upon the latest research from around the world to...
