Measuring bulrush culm relationships to estimate plant biomass within a southern California treatment wetland Measuring bulrush culm relationships to estimate plant biomass within a southern California treatment wetland
Assessment of emergent vegetation biomass can be time consuming and labor intensive. To establish a less onerous, yet accurate method, for determining emergent plant biomass than by direct measurements we collected vegetation data over a six-year period and modeled biomass using easily obtained variables: culm (stem) diameter, culm height and culm density. From 1998 through 2005, we...

Influences of immunocontraception on time budgets, social behavior, and body condition in feral horses Influences of immunocontraception on time budgets, social behavior, and body condition in feral horses
Managers concerned with shrinking habitats and limited resources for wildlife seek effective tools for limiting population growth in some species. Fertility control is one such tool, yet little is known about its impacts on the behavioral ecology of wild, free-roaming animals. We investigated influences of the immunocontraceptive porcine zona pellucida (PZP) on individual and social...

Application of the Hydroecological Integrity Assessment Process for Missouri Streams Application of the Hydroecological Integrity Assessment Process for Missouri Streams
Natural flow regime concepts and theories have established the justification for maintaining or restoring the range of natural hydrologic variability so that physiochemical processes, native biodiversity, and the evolutionary potential of aquatic and riparian assemblages can be sustained. A synthesis of recent research advances in hydroecology, coupled with stream classification using

Quantifying Equid Behavior - A Research Ethogram for Free-Roaming Feral Horses Quantifying Equid Behavior - A Research Ethogram for Free-Roaming Feral Horses
Feral horses (Equus caballus) are globally distributed in free-roaming populations on all continents except Antarctica and occupy a wide range of habitats including forest, grassland, desert, and montane environments. The largest populations occur in Australia and North America and have been the subject of scientific study for decades, yet guidelines and ethograms for feral horse...

Spectral distance decay Spectral distance decay
Remotely sensed data represents key information for character-izing and estimating biodiversity. Spectral distance among sites has proven to be a powerful approach for detecting species composition variability. Regression analysis of species similarity versus spectral distance may allow us to quantitatively estimate how beta-diversity in species changes with respect to spectral and...
