Variation in mangrove forest structure and sediment characteristics in Bocas del Toro, Panama Variation in mangrove forest structure and sediment characteristics in Bocas del Toro, Panama
Mangrove forest structure and sediment characteristics were examined in the extensive mangroves of Bocas del Toro, Republic of Panama. Forest structure was characterized to determine if spatial vegetation patterns were repeated over the Bocas del Toro landscape. Using a series of permanent plots and transects we found that the forests of Bocas del Toro were dominated by Rhizophora mangle...

Black Carp: Biological synopsis and risk assessment of an introduced fish Black Carp: Biological synopsis and risk assessment of an introduced fish
This book is a detailed risk assessment and biological synopsis of the black carp, a large mollusk-eating cyprinid fish native to eastern Asia. A great deal of controversy surrounds the presence of this foreign fish in the United States. Most of those associated with the aquaculture industry view black carp as an important tool in controlling. Major subjects addressed are (1) taxonomy...

Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI): A successful start to a national program in the United States Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI): A successful start to a national program in the United States
Most research to assess amphibian declines has focused on local-scale projects on one or a few species. The Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) is a national program in the United States mandated by congressional directive and implemented by the U.S. Department of the Interior (specifically the U.S. Geological Survey, USGS). Program goals are to monitor changes in...

A tropical freshwater wetlands: I. Structure, growth, and regeneration A tropical freshwater wetlands: I. Structure, growth, and regeneration
Forested wetlands dominated by Terminalia carolinensis are endemic to Micronesia but common only on the island of Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia. On Kosrae, these forests occur on Nansepsep, Inkosr, and Sonahnpil soil types, which differ in degree of flooding and soil saturation. We compared forest structure, growth, nutrition, and regeneration on two sites each on Nansepsep and...

High resolution mapping and classification of oyster habitats in nearshore Louisiana using sidescan sonar High resolution mapping and classification of oyster habitats in nearshore Louisiana using sidescan sonar
Sidescan sonar holds great promise as a tool to quantitatively depict the distribution and extent of benthic habitats in Louisiana's turbid estuaries. In this study, we describe an effective protocol for acoustic sampling in this environment. We also compared three methods of classification in detail: mean-based thresholding, supervised, and unsupervised techniques to classify sidescan...

Effects of flooding regime and seedling treatment on early survival and growth of nuttall oak Effects of flooding regime and seedling treatment on early survival and growth of nuttall oak
Effects of flooding on survival and growth of three different types of Nuttall oak (Quercus texana Buckl.) seedlings were observed at the end of third and fifth growing seasons at Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge, Mississippi, U.S.A. Three types of seedlings were planted in January 1995 in a split‐plot design, with four replications at each of two elevations on floodprone, former cropland...
