Effects of electrofishing gear type on spatial and temporal variability in fish community sampling
M. R. Meador, J.P. McIntyre
2003, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (132) 709-716
Fish community data collected from 24 major river basins between 1993 and 1998 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program were analyzed to assess multiple-reach (three consecutive reaches) and multiple-year (three consecutive years) variability in samples collected at a site. Variability was assessed using the coefficient...
Winter habitat use by female caribou in relation to wildland fires in interior Alaska
Kyle Joly, Bruce W. Dale, William B. Collins, Layne G. Adams
2003, Canadian Journal of Zoology (81) 1192-1201
The role of wildland fire in the winter habitat use of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) has long been debated. Fire has been viewed as detrimental to caribou because it destroys the slow-growing climax forage lichens that caribou utilize in winter. Other researchers argued that caribou were not reliant on lichens and...
Magnitude and variability of Holocene sediment accumulation in Santa Monica Bay, California
C.K. Sommerfield, H.J. Lee
2003, Marine Environmental Research (56) 151-176
The spatial variability of Holocene (past 10,000 years) sediment accumulation in Santa Monica Bay (California) was examined to identify controls sediment trapping in a bathymetrically complex coastal embayment and to provide geologic context for the post-industrial sedimentary record and associated pollution gradients. Sediment chronologies based on downcore AMS 14C dates...
The crustal structure from the Altai Mountains to the Altyn Tagh fault, northwest China
Y. Wang, Walter D. Mooney, X. Yuan, R. G. Coleman
2003, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (108)
[1] We present a new crustal section across northwest China based on a seismic refraction profile and geologic mapping. The 1100‐km‐long section crosses the southern margin of the Chinese Altai Mountains, Junggar Accretional Belt and eastern Junggar basin, easternmost Tianshan Mountains, and easternmost Tarim basin. The crustal...
Using multiple logistic regression and GIS technology to predict landslide hazard in northeast Kansas, USA
G.C. Ohlmacher, J.C. Davis
2003, Engineering Geology (69) 331-343
Landslides in the hilly terrain along the Kansas and Missouri rivers in northeastern Kansas have caused millions of dollars in property damage during the last decade. To address this problem, a statistical method called multiple logistic regression has been used to create a landslide-hazard map for Atchison, Kansas, and surrounding...
Changes in the freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) fauna of the Bear Creek system of Northwest Alabama and Northeast Mississippi
S.W. McGregor, J.T. Garner
2003, American Malacological Bulletin (18) 61-70
Drastic reductions in diversity and abundance of mussel populations are documented in many systems. Bear Creek, located in northwest Alabama and northeast Mississippi, has seen changes to its fauna, possibly the result of impoundment, channelization, wastewater discharge, and sedimentation from such sources such as strip mining, agriculture, and silviculture. The...
Geology and timing of mineralization at the Cangshang gold deposit, north-western Jiaodong Peninsula, China
X. Zhang, Peter A. Cawood, S.A. Wilde, R. Liu, H. Song, W. Li, L.W. Snee
2003, Mineralium Deposita (38) 141-153
The Cangshang gold deposit of the north-western Jiaodong Peninsula contains reserves of greater than 50 tonnes (t) and is developed by the largest open pit gold mine in China. This deposit is a Jiaojia-style (i.e. disseminated-and-veinlet) deposit. It is controlled by the San-Cang fault zone, which trends ~040° and dips 40–75°SE...
Relative contributions of sampling effort, measuring, and weighing to precision of larval sea lamprey biomass estimates
Jeffrey W. Slade, Jean V. Adams, Douglas W. Cuddy, Fraser B. Neave, W. Paul Sullivan, Robert J. Young, Michael F. Fodale, Michael L. Jones
2003, Journal of Great Lakes Research (29) 130-136
We developed two weight-length models from 231 populations of larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) collected from tributaries of the Great Lakes: Lake Ontario (21), Lake Erie (6), Lake Huron (67), Lake Michigan (76), and Lake Superior (61). Both models were mixed models, which used population as a random effect and...
Response signatures of four biological indicators to an iron and steel industrial landfill
Paul M. Stewart, Jason T. Butcher, Thomas P. Simon
Thomas P. Simon, editor(s)
2003, Book chapter, Macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with patterns in land use and water quality
Industrial landfills greatly modify surrounding areas by affecting chemical, physical, and biological integrity. Few data quantifying contaminant levels near landfills in sediments or in the organisms living near landfills exist. We examined several indicators of the aquatic community to determine whether a relationship existed between proximity to an industrial landfill...
Chemosterilization of male sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) does not affect sex pheromone release
Michael J. Siefkes, Roger A. Bergstedt, Michael B. Twohey, Weiming Li
2003, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (60) 23-31
Release of males sterilized by injection with bisazir is an important experimental technique in management of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), an invasive, nuisance species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Sea lampreys are semelparous and sterilization can theoretically eliminate a male's reproductive capacity and, if the ability to obtain mates is...
Macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with patterns in land use and water quality
Daren Carlisle, Paul M. Stewart, Jason T. Butcher
Thomas P. Simon, editor(s)
2003, Book chapter, Biological response signatures: Indicator patterns using aquatic communities
Most national parks were designated to preserve significant natural resources. Park borders often reflect political rather than ecological boundaries. Consequently, catchments of many streams are only partially within park boundaries, and are therefore subject to land use changes and potential contamination from non-point sources outside the park. The National Park...
Ecological criteria for evaluating candidate sites for marine reserves
Callum M. Roberts, Sandy Andelman, George Branch, Rodrigo H. Bustamante, Juan Carlos Castilla, Jenifer Dugan, Benjamin S. Halpern, Kevin D. Lafferty, Heather Leslie, Jane Lubchenco, Deborah McArdle, Hugh P. Possingham, Mary Ruckelshaus, Robert R. Warner
2003, Ecological Applications (13) 199-214
Several schemes have been developed to help select the locations of marine reserves. All of them combine social, economic, and biological criteria, and few offer any guidance as to how to prioritize among the criteria identified. This can imply that the relative weights given to different criteria are unimportant. Where...
Seasonal patterns in growth, blood consumption, and effects on hosts by parasitic-phase sea lampreys in the Great Lakes: an individual-based model approach
Charles P. Madenjian, Philip A. Cochran, Roger A. Bergstedt
2003, Journal of Great Lakes Research (29) 332-346
An individual-based model (IBM) was developed for sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) populations in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The IBM was then calibrated to observed growth, by season, for sea lampreys in northern Lake Huron under two different water temperature regimes: a regime experienced by Seneca-strain lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) and...
Differences in habitat use by blanding's turtles, Emydoidea blandingii, and painted turtles, Chysemys picta, in the Nebraska sandhills
R. Bruce Bury, David J. Germano
2003, American Midland Naturalist (149) 241-244
We sampled a variety of wetlands in the Nebraska sandhills at Valentine National Wildlife Refuge. Significantly more individuals of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) occurred in lakes and open waters than in marshes or small ponds, and the opposite was true for Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii). Besides this marked difference in...
