Influences of roads and development on bird communities in protected Chihuahuan Desert landscapes Influences of roads and development on bird communities in protected Chihuahuan Desert landscapes

Our objective was to improve knowledge about effects of broad-scale road and development variables on bird communities in protected desert landscapes. Bird species richness and the relative abundance or probability of occurrence of many species were significantly associated with total length of roads within each of two spatial extents (1- and 2-km radii), distance to the nearest road...

Bayesian inference and decision theory - A framework for decision making in natural resource management Bayesian inference and decision theory - A framework for decision making in natural resource management

Bayesian inference and decision theory may be used in the solution of relatively complex problems of natural resource management, owing to recent advances in statistical theory and computing. In particular, Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms provide a computational framework for fitting models of adequate complexity and for evaluating the expected consequences of alternative management...

Managing agricultural wetlands for waterbirds in the coastal regions of Louisiana, U.S.A. Managing agricultural wetlands for waterbirds in the coastal regions of Louisiana, U.S.A.

Rice and/or crawfish are cultivated in over 225,000 ha of shallow earthen impoundments within 160 km of the Gulf of Mexico along the coast of Louisiana. The region includes both the Gulf Coastal Plain and Prairie and the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Annual loss of 4,475 ha of coastal wetlands in Louisiana due to subsidence, erosion, and rising sea level has significantly reduced...

Water depth tolerances of dominant tree island species: What do we know? Water depth tolerances of dominant tree island species: What do we know?

Common woody species growing on tree islands in the Water Conservation Areas of South Florida include redbay, sweetbay, coastal-plain willow, wax myrtle, dahoon holly, cocoplum, pond-apple, red maple, cypress, gumbo-limbo, strangler fig and buttonbush. Very little is known about the flooding tolerance of most of these species. In this paper, we review flooding impact studies, describe...
