Regressive coastal deposits on Quaternary continental shelves: Preservation and legacy Regressive coastal deposits on Quaternary continental shelves: Preservation and legacy
Regressive coastal deposits containing internal downlapping surfaces are common on continental shelves of the world. Through theoretical considerations and evaluation of examples from the literature and our own studies in California and Italy, we have examined the conditions that lead both to the formation and preservation of these deposits. Coastal downlapping deposits form by...

A records system for a captive crane flock A records system for a captive crane flock
Crane record keeping systems have been evolving at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (PWRC) since 1966 and at the International Crane Foundation (ICF) since 1974. The system we present here, a hybrid of the two systems, has been reorganized to promote easy access of information and to limit redundancy.

Breeding Bird Survey and bird banding data: Applications to raptor research and management Breeding Bird Survey and bird banding data: Applications to raptor research and management
The Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) are sources of information for raptor biologists. The BBS has been conducted each year since 1966 in the United States and Canada; historical bird banding records extend back to the early 20th century. BBS data can be used to document population trends and breeding distributions of many bird species. Banding data are...
