Cottus paulus: A replacement name for the pygmy sculpin, Cottus pygmaeus Williams 1968 Cottus paulus: A replacement name for the pygmy sculpin, Cottus pygmaeus Williams 1968
A replacement name, Cottus paulus, is proposed for the Pygmy Sculpin, Coitus pygmaeus. The name Coitus pygmaeus was preoccupied by Coitus quadricornis pygmaeus Lonnberg (1932).

Vegetation associations in a rare community type - Coastal tallgrass prairie Vegetation associations in a rare community type - Coastal tallgrass prairie
The coastal prairie ecoregion is located along the northwestern coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico in North America. Because of agricultural and urban development, less than 1% of the original 3.4 million ha of this ecosystem type remains in native condition, making it one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America. The objective of this study was to characterize the vegetation...

Flow cytometric evaluation of antibiotic effects on viability and mitochondrial function of refrigerated spermatozoa of Nile tilapia Flow cytometric evaluation of antibiotic effects on viability and mitochondrial function of refrigerated spermatozoa of Nile tilapia
Improved techniques for storage and evaluation of fish sperm would enhance breeding programs around the world. The goal of this study was to test the effect of antibiotics on refrigerated sperm from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by use of flow cytometry with 2 dual-staining protocols for objective assessment of sperm quality. Concentrations of 1 x 109 sperm/mL were suspended in...

Factors associated with plant species richness in a coastal tall-grass prairie Factors associated with plant species richness in a coastal tall-grass prairie
In this study we examine the factors associated with variations in species richness within a remnant tall-grass prairie in order to gain insight into the relative importance of controlling variables. The study area was a small, isolated prairie surrounded by wetlands and located within the coastal prairie region, which occurs along the northwestern Gulf of Mexico coastal plain. Samples...

Abiotic and biotic controls of spatial pattern at alpine treeline Abiotic and biotic controls of spatial pattern at alpine treeline
At alpine treeline, trees and krummholz forms affect the environment in ways that increase their growth and reproduction. We assess the way in which these positive feedbacks combine in spatial patterns to alter the environment in the neighborhood of existing plants. The research is significant because areas of alpine tundra are susceptible to encroachment by woody species as climate...

Pattern and process of land loss in the Mississippi Delta: A spatial and temporal analysis of wetland habitat change Pattern and process of land loss in the Mississippi Delta: A spatial and temporal analysis of wetland habitat change
An earlier investigation (Turner 1997) concluded that most of the coastal wetland loss in Louisiana was caused by the effects of canal dredging, that loss was near zero in the absence of canals, and that land loss had decreased to near zero by the late 1990s. This analysis was based on a 15-min quadrangle (approximately 68,000 ha) scale that is too large to isolate processes responsible...

The ecological condition of estuaries in the Gulf of Mexico The ecological condition of estuaries in the Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf of Mexico is a vast natural resource encompassing the coastal areas of western Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, as well as a portion of Mexico. Many estuaries flow into the Gulf of Mexico and serve as nursery grounds for fish, habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, shipping routes, and a source of recreation. Estuarine-dependent species constitute more than...
