Larval settlement into marine soft-sediment systems: Interactions with the meiofauna Larval settlement into marine soft-sediment systems: Interactions with the meiofauna
The distribution and abundance of organisms exhibiting complex life cycles, like marine invertebrates, reflect ecological processes operating at all stages in the life history. Few studies have yet considered the mortality patterns of larvae and juveniles. To test whether the permanent meiofauna play a role in macrofaunal larval site-selection, and/or if permanent meiofaunal predators or

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Northern pintail (gulf coast wintering) Habitat Suitability Index Models: Northern pintail (gulf coast wintering)
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a model for evaluating wintering habitat quality for northern pintail (Anas acuta) along the Gulf of Mexico coast. The model is scaled to produce an index between unsuitable habitat) and 1.0 (optimal habitat). Habitat suitability index models are designed for use with the Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously...

Development of a computerized wetlands mapping data base for use in section 404 jurisdictional determinatins in San Francisco Bay Development of a computerized wetlands mapping data base for use in section 404 jurisdictional determinatins in San Francisco Bay
Development and habitat alteration in the San Francisco Bay-Delta system have placed the remaining wetlands in jeopardy. The Bay-Delta wetlands will be mapped in a joint project of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Maps at a 1:24,000 scale will be produced for the entire study area. High altitude color infrared photography from...

Interactions among temporary and permanent meiofauna: Observations on the feeding and behavior of selected taxa Interactions among temporary and permanent meiofauna: Observations on the feeding and behavior of selected taxa
Meiofauna diets and behavioral patterns are relatively unknown despite the fact that in any system, predatory relationships and behavioral responses may play an important role in determining community structure. Therefore, observations on food preferences, feeding behavior, and encounter interactions of members of a meiofauna assemblage were made in the laboratory in dishes of natural...

Contaminant concentrations in manatees in Florida Contaminant concentrations in manatees in Florida
The status of the endangered manatee (Trichehus manatus) in relation to organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury, lead, cadmium, copper, iron, and selenium was investigated in Florida from 1977 to 1981. Concentrations of organochlorines in blubber, mercury in muscle and liver, lead in liver, and lead and cadmium in kidneys did not indicate high exposure to these...
