Reduced fecundity in small populations of the rare plant Gentianopsis ciliate (Gentianaceae) Reduced fecundity in small populations of the rare plant Gentianopsis ciliate (Gentianaceae)
Habitat destruction is the main cause for the biodiversity crisis. Surviving populations are often fragmented, i.e., small and isolated from each other. Reproduction of plants in small populations is often reduced, and this has been attributed to inbreeding depression, reduced attractiveness for pollinators, and reduced habitat quality in small populations. Here we present data on the...

Combined impacts of Black-crowned Night-Heron predation/disturbance and various management activities on Roseate Tern productivity in 2003, and testing of a video surveillance system for recording the diurnal and nocturnal behavior of terns and night-hero Combined impacts of Black-crowned Night-Heron predation/disturbance and various management activities on Roseate Tern productivity in 2003, and testing of a video surveillance system for recording the diurnal and nocturnal behavior of terns and night-hero
Falkner Island (FICT), a unit of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge (SBMNWR) since 1985, is located in Long Island Sound 5 km south of Guilford, CT. For more than three decades it has been the site of the only large breeding colony in Connecticut of the federally endangered Northwest Atlantic population of Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii)...

Laboratory comparison of polyethylene and dialysis membrane diffusion samplers Laboratory comparison of polyethylene and dialysis membrane diffusion samplers
The ability of diffusion samplers constructed from regenerated cellulose dialysis membrane and low density, lay flat polyethylene tubing to collect volatile organic compounds and inorganic ions was compared in a laboratory study. Concentrations of vinyl chloride, cis‐1, 2‐dichloroethene, bromochloromethane, trichloroethene, bromodichloromethane, and tetrachloroethene collected by both...

Interpretation of concentration‐discharge patterns in acid‐neutralizing capacity during storm flow in three small, forested catchments in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia Interpretation of concentration‐discharge patterns in acid‐neutralizing capacity during storm flow in three small, forested catchments in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Episodic concentration‐discharge (c‐Q) plots are a popular tool for interpreting the hydrochemical response of small, forested catchments. Application of the method involves assuming an underlying conceptual model of runoff processes and comparing observed c‐Q looping patterns with those predicted by the model. We analyzed and interpreted c‐Q plots of acid‐neutralizing capacity (ANC) for...

Bedrock geologic map of the Port Wing, Solon Springs, and parts of the Duluth and Sandstone 30' X 60' quadrangles, Wisconsin Bedrock geologic map of the Port Wing, Solon Springs, and parts of the Duluth and Sandstone 30' X 60' quadrangles, Wisconsin
This Open-File Report provides digital data (shapefiles and .e00 files) for the bedrock geology in the Port Wing, Solon Springs, and parts of the Duluth and Sandstone quadrangles in Wisconsin. A Miscellaneous Investigations Series map (I map) is currently in review with analogous data in paper format. This map portrays the geology of part of the Midcontinent rift system (MRS) along the...
