Point counts are a standard sampling procedure for many bird species, but lingering concerns still exist about the quality of information produced from the method. It is well known that variation in observer ability and environmental conditions can influence the detection probability of birds in point counts, but many...

J.B. Cohen
2005, Book
Executive Summary 1. The southeast U.S. population of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) has increased since the species was listed as federally threatened in 1978. Since standardized monitoring began in North Carolina in 1995, the number of nests at Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CAHA) fluctuated from year...
Management and protection protocols for the threatened Piping Plover (Charadrius Melodus) on Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina
J.B. Cohen
2005, Book
Executive Summary 1. The breeding population of the piping plover (Charadrius melodus), a federally-threatened shorebird, at Cape Hatteras National Seashore (CAHA) declined from 15 pairs/yr to 3 pairs/yr from 1989-2004. A population of this size may face immediate risk of extirpation from several sources. At several former breeding...

Physical events, environments, and geological—Ecological interactions at Mount St. Helens: March 1980–2004
Frederick J. Swanson, Jon J. Major
2005, Book chapter, Ecological Responses to the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens
The diversity and intensity of volcanic processes during the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens affected a variety of ecosystems over a broad area and created an exceptional opportunity to study interactions of geophysical and ecological processes in dynamic landscapes. Within a few hours on the morning of May 18,...
Geomorphic change and vegetation development on the Muddy River Mudflow Deposit
Peter M. Frenzen, Keith S. Hadley, Jon J. Major, Marc H. Weber, Jerry F. Franklin, J. H. Hardison III, Sharon Stanton
2005, Book chapter, Ecological Responses to the 1980 Eruption of Mount St. Helens
Geomorphic disturbances are widely recognized as important processes that influence plant-community development and landscape-scale vegetation patterns [e.g., Veblen and Ashton (1978), Garwood et al. (1979), Swanson et al. (1988), and Malanson (1993)]. In volcanically active areas such as the Pacific Northwest, mudflows are locally important geomorphic disturbance events governing short-...
Multi-scale remote sensing of coral reefs
Serge Andréfouët, E.J. Hochberg, Christophe Chevillon, Frank E. Muller-Karger, John Brock, Chuanmin Hu
2005, Book chapter, Remote sensing of coastal aquatic environments: technologies, techniques and applications
In this chapter we present how both direct and indirect remote sensing can be integrated to address two major coral reef applications - coral bleaching and assessment of biodiversity. This approach reflects the current non-linear integration of remote sensing for environmental assessment of coral reefs, resulting from a rapid increase...

Managing water in the West: developing new tools for a critical resource
G.G. Scoppettone, D. Gadomski, J. Petersen, J. Hatten
2005, Fact Sheet 2006-3065
Rapid population growth in the Western United States over the last century has placed increasing strains on our water supplies and aquatic ecosystems. Historically, water rights have been used to determine the allocation of water in the West, but rules and regulations related to endangered species now often drive how...
Biological science in Oregon
Lyman Thorsteinson
2005, Fact Sheet 2006-3067
Fishing is an important part of Oregon's culture. The Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC) has been conducting research in Oregon for many years to provide information that can be used by managers to help keep fish and other parts of the ecosystem healthy. Below are examples of some of WFRC's...
The Western Fisheries Research Center studies: threatened and endangered fishes
M. Parsley, G.G. Scoppettone, R. Shively, D. Gadomski, D. Becker
2005, Fact Sheet 2006-3064
Within historical time, western native fish communities have faced increasing threats from habitat loss, invasive species, and pollution. It should come as no surprise that human development has greatly altered fish habitat in the west because of the importance of water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses, power generation, waste...
Fish can get diseases too
J. R. Winton, M. Mesa, G. Kurath, D. Elliot
2005, Fact Sheet 2006-3066
Infectious diseases are increasingly recognized as an important component of the ecology of fish in the wild. Many of the viral, bacterial, protozoan and fungal pathogens of fish that were initially discovered in captive fish have their origin among wild populations; however, the impact of disease among these free-ranging stocks...
Aquatic invasive species
R. Rodriguez, T. Counihan, J. Petersen, D. Gadomski, D. Becker
2005, Fact Sheet 2006-3069
Invasive species are plants or animals that are present in an ecosystem beyond their native range. They may have few natural controls in their new environment and proliferate. They can threaten native species and interfere with human activities. The Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC) has been conducting research to understand...

Arid lands of the Southwest
M. Saiki, G.G. Scoppettone, D. Gadomski, D. Becker
2005, Fact Sheet 2006-3068
When thinking about plants and animals that inhabit hot arid lands of the southwestern U.S., fish are easily overlooked by most people. However, these desert lands often contain isolated springs or cienegas (a Spanish term referring to permanently saturated 'seep wetlands') and streams supporting native fishes that occur no where...
