Consumption of rainbow smelt by walleye and salmonine fishes in eastern Lake Erie Consumption of rainbow smelt by walleye and salmonine fishes in eastern Lake Erie

At present, rainbow smelt appear to represent a key component of the eastern Lake Erie fish community as they are the dominant prey for virtually every open water predator, and are harvested directly by an important Ontario commercial fishery. In response to concern over the status of rainbow smelt in eastern Lake Erie, our objective was to quantify some primary top down forces of...

Demography of forest birds in Panama: How do transients affect estimates of survival rates? Demography of forest birds in Panama: How do transients affect estimates of survival rates?

Estimates of annual survival rates of neotropical birds have proven controversial. Traditionally, tropical birds were thought to have high survival rates for their size, but analyses of a multispecies assemblage from Panama by Karr et al. (1990) provided a counterexample to that view. One criticism of that study has been that the estimates were biased by transient birds captured only...
