Effects of environmental change on plant species density: Comparing predictions with experiments Effects of environmental change on plant species density: Comparing predictions with experiments
Ideally, general ecological relationships may be used to predict responses of natural communities to environmental change, but few attempts have been made to determine the reliability of predictions based on descriptive data. Using a previously published structural equation model (SEM) of descriptive data from a coastal marsh landscape, we compared these predictions against observed...

Spatial and temporal patterns of nonindigenous fish introductions in the United States Spatial and temporal patterns of nonindigenous fish introductions in the United States
In 1978 biologists in Gainesville, Florida, began compiling records on the distribution and status of nonindigenous fishes known in U.S. inland waters. The database, now in electronic format, currently contains approximately 17,000 records representing more than 500 nonindigenous fish taxa (i.e., species, hybrids, and unidentified forms). Of these taxa, 317 (61%) are native to the United...

MOAB: a spatially explicit, individual-based expert system for creating animal foraging models MOAB: a spatially explicit, individual-based expert system for creating animal foraging models
We describe the development, structure, and corroboration process of a simulation model of animal behavior (MOAB). MOAB can create spatially explicit, individual-based animal foraging models. Users can create or replicate heterogeneous landscape patterns, and place resources and individual animals of a goven species on that landscape to simultaneously simulate the foraging behavior of...

Cumulative index to chemicals and to common and scientific names of species listed in Contaminant Hazard Reviews 1 through 34 Cumulative index to chemicals and to common and scientific names of species listed in Contaminant Hazard Reviews 1 through 34
The Contaminant Hazard Review (CHR) series--sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey, Patuxent Wildlife Research Center--synthesizes ecotoxicological data for selected environmental contaminants, with emphasis on hazards to native species of flora and fauna. From 1985 through 1998, 34 reviews were published in various report series of the U.S. Department of the Interior on agricultural...
