Effects of habitat suitability on the survival of relocated freshwater mussels Effects of habitat suitability on the survival of relocated freshwater mussels
Freshwater mussels are often relocated from existing beds for both conservation and management reasons. In this study, we empirically tested whether the habitat type at the destination site was important in predicting the success of mussel relocation. In 1993, four species of freshwater mussels were relocated in the Apalachicola River in Florida, into three distinct habitat types: stable...

Modeling fish dynamics and effects of stress in a hydrologically pulsed ecosystem Modeling fish dynamics and effects of stress in a hydrologically pulsed ecosystem
Many wetlands undergo seasonal cycles in precipitation and water depth. This environmental seasonality is echoed in patterns of production of fish biomass, which, in turn, influence the phenology of other components of the food web, including wading birds. Human activities, such as drainage or other alterations of the hydrology, can exacerbate these natural cycles and result in...

Habitat selection by three littoral zone fishes: effects of predation pressure, plant density and macrophyte type Habitat selection by three littoral zone fishes: effects of predation pressure, plant density and macrophyte type
We conducted laboratory experiments which demonstrated that three littoral zone fishes differentially selected among three macrophytes when seeking refuge from predation. In the presence of a predator (a juvenile Micropterus salmoides), mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki), sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna). and dollar sunfish (Lepomis marginatus) displayed ferential use of four tank...

Reforestation of bottomland hardwoods and the issue of woody species diversity Reforestation of bottomland hardwoods and the issue of woody species diversity
Bottomland hardwood forests in the southcentral United States have been cleared extensively for agriculture, and many of the remaining forests are fragmented and degraded. During the last decade, however, approximately 75,000 ha of land-mainly agricultural fields-have been replanted or contracted for replanting, with many more acres likely to be reforested in the near future. The...

Vertical accretion and shallow subsidence in a mangrove forest of southwestern Florida, U.S.A Vertical accretion and shallow subsidence in a mangrove forest of southwestern Florida, U.S.A
Simultaneous measurements of vertical accretion from artificial soil marker horizons and soil elevation change from sedimentation-erosion table (SET) plots were used to evaluate the processes related to soil building in range, basin, and overwash mangrove forests located in a low-energy lagoon which recieves minor inputs of terregenous sediments. Vertical accretion measures reflect the
