Community involvement in a multimedia outreach project for Caddo Lake, Texas Community involvement in a multimedia outreach project for Caddo Lake, Texas
Caddo Lake is located in northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana and is the largest freshwater lake in Texas. A portion of the lake in Texas has been designated a "Wetland of International Significance" under the Ramsar Convention of the United Nations. The human community in the watershed has experienced a number of hydrological alterations to Caddo Lake over the last 100 years by the...

Evaluation of a mallard HSI model for the Lower Mississippi Valley Evaluation of a mallard HSI model for the Lower Mississippi Valley
We evaluated a habitat suitability (HSI) model developed for mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) wintering in the Lower Mississippi Valley by comparing mallard densities obtained from aerial surveys with habitat suitability indices derived from satellite imagery for 25, 256km2 sampling units. Regression models that related mallard densities to habitat suitability indices accounted for only 29%...

Population viability analysis of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), 1976-1991 Population viability analysis of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), 1976-1991
Recent development of age-determination techniques for Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) has permitted derivation of age-specific data on reproduction and survival of a sample of 1212 carcasses obtained throughout Florida from 1976–1991. Population viability analysis using these data projects a slightly negative growth rate (−0.003) and an unacceptably low probability of

The effects of herbivory on neighbor interactions along a coastal marsh gradient The effects of herbivory on neighbor interactions along a coastal marsh gradient
Many current theories of community function are based on the assumption that disturbances such as herbivory act to reduce the importance of neighbor interactions among plants. In this study, we examined the effects of herbivory (primarily by nutria, Myocastor coypus) on neighbor interactions between three dominant grasses in three coastal marsh communities, fresh, oligohaline, and...

Salt tolerance of southern baldcypress Salt tolerance of southern baldcypress
Historically, cypress-tupelo swamps covered much of the low-lying coastal regions of the Southeast. However, saltwater intrusion and increased flooding over the past 30 years, combined with past logging, have depleted the numbers and decreased the survival and growth of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) in coastal areas along the Gulf of Mexico.

Using remote sensing to monitor global change Using remote sensing to monitor global change
To properly respond to natural and human-induced stresses to wetlands, resource managers must consider their functions and values. Remote sensing is an important tool for monitoring wetland responses to changes in the hydrologic regime and water quality caused by global climate change and sea-level rise.
