Habitat use at night by wintering American woodcock in coastal Georgia and Virginia Habitat use at night by wintering American woodcock in coastal Georgia and Virginia
Nocturnal habitats used by American woodcock (Scolopux minor) were studied using radio telemetry at two coastal wintering sites in Georgia (1982-84) and Virginia (1991-92). In Georgia, use of forested habitats at night was extensive while use of fields at night varied between years but generally was low. We found no difference in the probability of moving to a field at night among the...

Overwinter survival of neotropical migratory birds in early-successional and mature tropical forests Overwinter survival of neotropical migratory birds in early-successional and mature tropical forests
Many Neotropical migratory species inhabit both mature and earty-successional forests on their wintering grounds, yet comparisons of survival rates between habitats are lacking. Consequently, the factors affecting habitat suitability for Neotropical migrants and the potential effects of tropical deforestation on migrants are not well understood. We estimated overwinter survival and...

Taxonomy of the genus Lycalopex (Carnivora: Canidae) in Argentina Taxonomy of the genus Lycalopex (Carnivora: Canidae) in Argentina
Previously treated as species of Pseudalopex, Argentine members of the genus Lycalopex (L. griseus, L. gymnocercus, and L. culpaeus) are examined to clarify the taxonomic status of each named form. Principal components analyses of 26 cranial measurements of 151 adult specimens and 11 pelage characters of 111 specimens, clearly distinguish L. culpaeus from the other two taxa. Lycalopex...
