The measurement of mangrove characteristics in southwest Florida using spot multispectral data The measurement of mangrove characteristics in southwest Florida using spot multispectral data

An intensive in situ sampling program near Marco Island, Florida during 19–23 October 1988 collected information on mangrove type, maximum canopy height, and percent canopy closure. These data were correlated with selected vegetation index information derived from analysis of SPOT multispectral (XS) data obtained on 21 October 1988. The Normalized Difference (ND) vegetation index...

Additions to the ichthyofauna of the Bahama Islands, with comments on endemic species Additions to the ichthyofauna of the Bahama Islands, with comments on endemic species

Literature records or other documentation are given for 57 species of shorefishes added to the Bahaman ichthyofauna since publication of Fishes of the Bahamas; included are 32 new species described or discovered since 1967. Known distribution is specified for each species, including extralimital ranges of non-endemics. Fourteen species are listed as known only from the Bahamas although...

Suggestions to authors of the reports of the United States Geological Survey Suggestions to authors of the reports of the United States Geological Survey

Suggestions to Authors (STA) is used as the writing style guide for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) technical reports and maps. The STA is widely distributed in paper outside of the USGS as a basic scientific writing style guide for scientists, students, and editors. The goal of STA is to help writers present information as clearly as possible explaining punctuation rules, suggesting...

Control of pest species: Tree shelters help protect seedlings from nutria Control of pest species: Tree shelters help protect seedlings from nutria

Various methods of nutria preventative techniques were tested in attempts to curb the loss of seedlings due to nutria capturing. The results of testing possibly indicate that tree shelters have real potential for use in forest restoration projects on sites with moderate nutria populations. Tree shelters may even prove effective on sites with high nutria populations, as long as...

The influence of ambient salinity on routine metabolism in the teleost Cyprinodon variegatus Lacepède The influence of ambient salinity on routine metabolism in the teleost Cyprinodon variegatus Lacepède

Routine metabolism of the euryhaline cyprinodontid Cyprinodon variegatus Lacepede was measured at a series of ambient salinities ranging from fresh water through 100‰. Fish used had been sequentially acclimated to the test salinities (ambient temperature of 20±1° C and a 12: 12 L: D schedule). Routine metabolic rates were highest at ambient salinities from 15 to 50‰. Metabolism was...
