Encephalization quotients and life-history traits in the Sirenia Encephalization quotients and life-history traits in the Sirenia
Relative brain size in the Sirenia is unusually small. Encephalization quotients are 0.27 for Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus) and 0.38 for dugongs (Dugong dugon). Estimates for Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) range from 0.12 to 0.19. These values are among the lowest known for Recent mammals, and seemingly have changed little since the Eocene. A body plan specialized for the...

Streamside habitats in southern forested wetlands: Their role and implications for management Streamside habitats in southern forested wetlands: Their role and implications for management
The value of streamside forests to fish and wildlife and the influence of forest management on their value have been recognized in a general sense for decades. However, in today’s climate of increasing environmental regulation and intensive forest management, there is need for more detailed understanding of the value of streamside forests to fish and wildlife. Dickson and Huntley (1987...

Trends in wintering canvasback populations at Catahoula Lake, Louisiana Trends in wintering canvasback populations at Catahoula Lake, Louisiana
Aerial survey data (1968-1989) and water gauge readings (1958-1989) were examined to detennine trends in and relationships between canvasback (Aythya valisineria) populations and water levels at Catahoula Lake, Louisiana. Wintering canvasback populations at Catahoula Lake have increased over the past 21 years. A peak population estimate of 78,000 canvasbacks was recorded in January 1988...

Hydrological, morphometrical, and biological characteristics of the connecting rivers of the International Great Lakes: a review Hydrological, morphometrical, and biological characteristics of the connecting rivers of the International Great Lakes: a review
The connecting channels of the Great Lakes are large rivers (1, 200-9, 900 m3 • s-1) with limited tributary drainage systems and relatively stable hydrology (about 2:1 ration of maximum to minimum flow). The rivers, from headwaters to outlet, are the St. Marys, St. Clair, Detroit, Niagara, and St. Lawrence. They share several characteristics with certain other large rivers: the fish...
