Electrocardiography in two subspecies of manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris and Trichechus manatus manatus) Electrocardiography in two subspecies of manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris and Trichechus manatus manatus)
Electrocardiographic (ECG) measurements were recorded in two subspecies of awake, apparently healthy, wild manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris and T. m. manatus) undergoing routine field examinations in Florida and Belize. Six unsedated juveniles (dependent and independent calves) and 6 adults were restrained in ventral recumbency for ECG measurements. Six lead ECGs were recorded...

A structural equation model analysis of postfire plant diversity in California shrublands A structural equation model analysis of postfire plant diversity in California shrublands
This study investigates patterns of plant diversity following wildfires in fire‐prone shrublands of California, seeks to understand those patterns in terms of both local and landscape factors, and considers the implications for fire management. Ninety study sites were established following extensive wildfires in 1993, and 1000‐m2 plots were used to sample a variety of parameters. Data on...

Use of NEXRAD to study shorebird migration in the Prairie Pothole region: A feasibility study Use of NEXRAD to study shorebird migration in the Prairie Pothole region: A feasibility study
An essential component of shorebird conservation is identifying, protecting, and managing high-priority stopover sites and migration habitats crucial to the long-term persistence of migrating shorebirds. Because of the tremendous variability in migrant shorebird occurrence patterns in the Prairie Pothole Region of the U.S. (Skagen 1997), it is labor- and cost-intensive to locate the...

Towards sustainable management of Louisiana's coastal wetland forests: Problems, constraints, and a new beginning Towards sustainable management of Louisiana's coastal wetland forests: Problems, constraints, and a new beginning
Over 345,000 ha of forested swamps occur throughout the Mississippi River Deltaic Plain. Natural and anthropogenic changes in hydrology and geomorphology at local and landscape levels have reduced the productivity in many of these coastal wetland forests areas and have caused the complete loss of forest cover in some places. A summary and interpretation of the available science...

Detection probabilities and site occupancy estimates for amphibians at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Detection probabilities and site occupancy estimates for amphibians at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
We conducted an amphibian inventory at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge from August 2000 to June 2002 as part of the U.S. Department of the Interior's national Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative. Nineteen species of amphibians (15 anurans and 4 caudates) were documented within the Refuge, including one protected species, the Gopher Frog Rana capito. We also collected 1 y of...

Interactive effects of substrate, hydroperiod, and nutrients on seedling growth of Salix nigra and Taxodium distichum Interactive effects of substrate, hydroperiod, and nutrients on seedling growth of Salix nigra and Taxodium distichum
The large river swamps of Louisiana have complex topography and hydrology, characterized by black willow (Salix nigra) dominance on accreting alluvial sediments and vast areas of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) deepwater swamps with highly organic substrates. Seedling survival of these two wetland tree species is influenced by their growth rate in relation to the height and duration of...
