Assessment of reproductive effects in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to bleached/unbleached kraft mill effluents Assessment of reproductive effects in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) exposed to bleached/unbleached kraft mill effluents
This study evaluated the potential effects of different concentrations of bleached/unbleached kraft mill effluent (B/UKME) on several reproductive endpoints in adult largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The kraft mill studied produces a 50/50 mix of bleached/unbleached market pulp with an estimated release of 36 million gal of effluent/day. Bleaching sequences were C90d10EopHDp and...

Electrocardiography in two subspecies of manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris and Trichechus manatus manatus) Electrocardiography in two subspecies of manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris and Trichechus manatus manatus)
Electrocardiographic (ECG) measurements were recorded in two subspecies of awake, apparently healthy, wild manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris and T. m. manatus) undergoing routine field examinations in Florida and Belize. Six unsedated juveniles (dependent and independent calves) and 6 adults were restrained in ventral recumbency for ECG measurements. Six lead ECGs were recorded...

A structural equation model analysis of postfire plant diversity in California shrublands A structural equation model analysis of postfire plant diversity in California shrublands
This study investigates patterns of plant diversity following wildfires in fire‐prone shrublands of California, seeks to understand those patterns in terms of both local and landscape factors, and considers the implications for fire management. Ninety study sites were established following extensive wildfires in 1993, and 1000‐m2 plots were used to sample a variety of parameters. Data on...

Use of NEXRAD to study shorebird migration in the Prairie Pothole region: A feasibility study Use of NEXRAD to study shorebird migration in the Prairie Pothole region: A feasibility study
An essential component of shorebird conservation is identifying, protecting, and managing high-priority stopover sites and migration habitats crucial to the long-term persistence of migrating shorebirds. Because of the tremendous variability in migrant shorebird occurrence patterns in the Prairie Pothole Region of the U.S. (Skagen 1997), it is labor- and cost-intensive to locate the...

Towards sustainable management of Louisiana's coastal wetland forests: Problems, constraints, and a new beginning Towards sustainable management of Louisiana's coastal wetland forests: Problems, constraints, and a new beginning
Over 345,000 ha of forested swamps occur throughout the Mississippi River Deltaic Plain. Natural and anthropogenic changes in hydrology and geomorphology at local and landscape levels have reduced the productivity in many of these coastal wetland forests areas and have caused the complete loss of forest cover in some places. A summary and interpretation of the available science...

Detection probabilities and site occupancy estimates for amphibians at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Detection probabilities and site occupancy estimates for amphibians at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
We conducted an amphibian inventory at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge from August 2000 to June 2002 as part of the U.S. Department of the Interior's national Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative. Nineteen species of amphibians (15 anurans and 4 caudates) were documented within the Refuge, including one protected species, the Gopher Frog Rana capito. We also collected 1 y of...
