Managing agricultural wetlands for waterbirds in the coastal regions of Louisiana, U.S.A. Managing agricultural wetlands for waterbirds in the coastal regions of Louisiana, U.S.A.
Rice and/or crawfish are cultivated in over 225,000 ha of shallow earthen impoundments within 160 km of the Gulf of Mexico along the coast of Louisiana. The region includes both the Gulf Coastal Plain and Prairie and the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Annual loss of 4,475 ha of coastal wetlands in Louisiana due to subsidence, erosion, and rising sea level has significantly reduced...

Water depth tolerances of dominant tree island species: What do we know? Water depth tolerances of dominant tree island species: What do we know?
Common woody species growing on tree islands in the Water Conservation Areas of South Florida include redbay, sweetbay, coastal-plain willow, wax myrtle, dahoon holly, cocoplum, pond-apple, red maple, cypress, gumbo-limbo, strangler fig and buttonbush. Very little is known about the flooding tolerance of most of these species. In this paper, we review flooding impact studies, describe...

Historical trend in ice thickness on the Piscataquis River in central Maine. Historical trend in ice thickness on the Piscataquis River in central Maine.
We analyzed a long-term record of ice thickness on the Piscataquis River in central Maine to determine whether there were temporal trends that were associated with climate warming. Trends in ice thickness were compared and correlated with regional time series of winter air temperature, heating degree days (HDD) , date of river ice-out, seasonal center-of-volume date (SCVD) (date on which...

Estimating the potential for submergence for two wetlands in the Mississippi River Delta Estimating the potential for submergence for two wetlands in the Mississippi River Delta
We used a combined field and modeling approach to estimate the potential for submergence for one rapidly deteriorating (Bayou Chitigue Marsh) and one apparently stable (Old Oyster Bayou Marsh) saltmarsh wetland in coastal Louisiana, given two eustatic sea level rise scenarios: the current rate (0.15 cm year−1); and the central value predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

Effects of Photoperiod on Behavior and Courtship of the Neosho madtom (Noturus placidus) Effects of Photoperiod on Behavior and Courtship of the Neosho madtom (Noturus placidus)
To test effects of long and short day-length on behavior of the Neosho madtom (Noturus placidus), we held six pairs of fish in separate tanks under 16 hr (L): 8 hr (D) (long-day) and six pairs under 12 hr (L): 12 hr (D) (short-day) photoperiods. An ethogram was created and behavior was electronically and continuously recorded. Two-minute intervals for each hour over four 4-day periods...
