Ground-water and surface-water interactions in Minnesota and Wisconsin wetlands Ground-water and surface-water interactions in Minnesota and Wisconsin wetlands
The interaction between ground water and surface water in wetlands is complex and depends on the hydrologic setting of the particular wetland. Hydrologic characteristics have been used in Wisconsin to classify wetlands into four categories; surface-waterdepression wetlands, surface-water-slope wetlands, ground-waterdepression wetlands, and ground-water-slope wetlands, as described by...

Maximum likelihood methods for investigating reporting rates of rings on hunter-shot birds Maximum likelihood methods for investigating reporting rates of rings on hunter-shot birds
It is well known that hunters do not report 100% of the rings that they find on shot birds. Reward studies can be used to estimate what this reporting rate is, by comparison of recoveries of rings offering a monetary reward, to ordinary rings. A reward study of American Black Ducks (Anas rubripes) is used to illustrate the design, and to motivate the development of statistical models for

Occurrence and preservation of Eocene squamariacean and coralline rhodoliths: Eau, Tonga Occurrence and preservation of Eocene squamariacean and coralline rhodoliths: Eau, Tonga
A widespread rhodolith facies occurs within middle Eocene limestones of Eua, Tonga (Fig. 1). These limestones, first described by Hoffmeister (1932), represent a portion of a broad, early Tertiary platform that developed in the Tonga area prior to disruption and uplift by later Tertiary plate movements (Kroenke and Tongilava 1975). Algal rhodoliths form beds several meters thick within...
