The rain forest of the Sierra Imataca in eastern Venezuela has been subjected to extensive deforestation for pastures and agricultural settlements. In the last decade the opening of access roads combined with intensified logging and mining activities have fragmented a significant portion of the remaining forest. We noted...

Factors affecting visibility rate of aerial waterfowl surveys in the Mississippi alluvial valley
D. R. Smith, K. J. Reinecke, M.J. Conroy, M.W. Brown, J.R. Nassar
1995, Journal of Wildlife Management (59) 515-527
Because visibility bias can confound attempts to detect changes in abundance, we evaluated factors that affect visibility rate in aerial surveys of wintering waterfowl. We placed waterfowl decoys in 32 2- x 0.25-kin strip transects in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) during February 1990 and 1991 and observed the...
Year-round movements of a Wahlberg's eagle Aquila wahlbergi tracked by satellite

An adult female Wahlberg's Eagle from northern Namibia was tracked by satellite ovcr a total distance of 8816 km and located 104 times between 11 February and 4 November 1994. It migrated on an almost due north heading to northern Cameroon, north-eastern Nigeria and western Chad through the rain forest...
Point count length and detection of forest neotropical migrant birds

1995, Report, Monitoring Bird Populations by Point Counts
Comparisons of bird abundances among years or among habitats assume that the rates at which birds are detected and counted are constant within species. We use point count data collected in forests of the Mid-Atlantic states to estimate detection probabilities for Neotropical migrant bird species as a function of count...
Water-quality conditions at selected landfills in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 1986-92
G.M. Ferrell, D.G. Smith
1995, Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4067
Water-quality conditions at five municipal landfills in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, were studied during 1986-92. Analytical results of water samples from monitoring wells and streams at and near the landfills were used to evaluate effects of leachate on surface and ground water. Ground-water levels at monitoring wells were used to...

Prerelease disease treatment with potassium permanganate for Fall Chinook salmon smolts
Stanley D. Smith, Rowan W. Gould, Wally S. Zaugg, Lee W. Harrell, Conrad V.W. Mahnken
1995, Progressive Fish-Culturist (57) 102-106
Standard potassium permanganate treatment (2 mg KMnO4/L freshwater for 1 h on three consecutive days) was applied to presmolts (parr) and smolts of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Smoltification was determined by gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Treatments were conducted 73, 59, 45, 31, 16, and 2 d prior to full-strength seawater...

Should we terminate an 'artificial,' tree-nesting raptor population in Arizona?
D. H. Ellis, D.G. Smith, F.B.P. Trahan
1994, Journal of Raptor Research (28) 56 (abs)
The Altar Valley in southcentral Arizona was once a iallgrass prairie. Overgrazing prevented fire and spread mesquite, allowing the area, now a savanna, to be heavily used by tree-nesting raptors in summer and heavily hunted by perch-hunting raptors in winter. The breeding raptor community (over 150 pairs) consists primarily of...

In the course of 71 days in lunar orbit, from 19 February to 3 May 1994, the Clementine spacecraft acquired just under two million digital images of the moon at visible and infrared wavelengths. These data are enabling the global mapping of the rock types of the lunar...

Survival rates of American woodcock wintering along the Atlantic coast
David G. Krementz, John T. Seginak, David R. Smith, Grey W. Pendleton
1994, Journal of Wildlife Management (58) 147-155
Because American woodcock (Scolopax minor) populations have been declining, we attached radio transmitters to woodcock at coastal plain sites to determine if survival during winter was involved in the decline. Sites were in Georgia (1982-84, 1989-92), South Carolina (1988-89), and Virginia (1991-92). Survival rates were not different between age or...
