Comparison of spring measures of length, weight, and condition factor for predicting metamorphosis in two populations of sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) larvae
Mary P. Henson, Roger A. Bergstedt, Jean V. Adams
2003, Journal of Great Lakes Research (29) 204-213
The ability to predict when sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) will metamorphose from the larval phase to the parasitic phase is essential to the operation of the sea lamprey control program. During the spring of 1994, two populations of sea lamprey larvae from two rivers were captured, measured, weighed, implanted with...

2003, Journal of Great Lakes Research (29) 214-225
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission uses time series of transformer, parasitic, and spawning population estimates to evaluate the effectiveness of its sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control program. This study used an inverse variance weighting method to integrate Lake Huron sea lamprey population estimates derived from two estimation procedures: 1) prediction...
Pseudacris triseriata (western chorus frog) and Rana sylvatica (wood frog) chytridiomycosis
S.E. Rittman, E. Muths, D. E. Green
2003, Herpetological Review (34) 53-53
The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a known pathogen of anuran amphibians, and has been correlated with amphibian die-offs worldwide (Daszak et. al. 1999. Emerging Infectious Diseases 5:735-748). In Colorado, B. dendrobatidis has infected Boreal toads (Bufo boreas) (Muths et. al., in review) and has been identified on museum specimens...

Desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) survival at two eastern Mojave Desert sites: Death by short-term drought?
Kathleen M. Longshore, Jef R. Jaeger, J. Mark Sappington
2003, Journal of Herpetology (37) 169-177
Survival of adult Desert Tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) appears related to site-specific variation in precipitation and productivity of annual plants. We studied adult tortoise survival rates at two closely situated, but physiographically different, sites in the eastern Mojave Desert over a nine-year period (spring 1992 to spring 2001). Survival rates were...
Capture methods for Musk Ducks
K. G. McCracken, J. Hemmings, D.C. Paton, A. D. Afton
2003, Wildfowl (54) 211-241
Musk Ducks Biziura lobata are endemic to wetlands, river systems and coastal oceanic waters of temperate Australia. Individuals of this species are difficult to capture because of their excellent swimming and diving abilities and frequent use of deep-water habitats. Night-lighting, baited clover-leaf traps and walk-in-nest-traps were used to capture Musk...
Identification of larval Pacific lampreys (Lampetra tridentata), river lampreys (L. ayresi), and western brook lampreys (L. richardsoni) and thermal requirements of early life history stages of lampreys. Annual report 2002-2003
M.H. Meeuwig, J.M. Bayer, J.G. Seelye, R.A. Reiche
2003, Report
Two fundamental aspects of lamprey biology were examined to provide tools for population assessment and determination of critical habitat needs of Columbia River Basin (CRB) lampreys (the Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, and the western brook lamprey, L. richardsoni). We evaluated the usefulness of current diagnostic characteristics for identification of larval...
Crustal structure of the Peninsular Ranges batholith from magnetic data: Implications for Gulf of California rifting
V.E. Langenheim, R.C. Jachens
2003, Geophysical Research Letters (30) 51-1
A 70-km-wide belt of magnetic highs extends ???1200 km northwest from the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula into southern California. The anomalies are caused by the mafic western belt of the Peninsular Ranges batholith, which is exposed extensively along the northern 800 km length of the magnetic belt....
Sea otter population declines in the Aleutian Archipelago
Angela M. Doroff, James A. Estes, M. Tim Tinker, Douglas M. Burn, Thomas J. Evans
2003, Journal of Mammalogy (84) 55-64
Sea otter (Enhydra lutris) populations were exploited to near extinction and began to recover after the cessation of commercial hunting in 1911. Remnant colonies of sea otters in the Aleutian archipelago were among the first to recover; they continued to increase through the 1980s but declined abruptly during the 1990s....

Using noble gases to investigate mountain-front recharge
A. H. Manning, D. K. Solomon
2003, Conference Paper, Journal of Hydrology
Mountain-front recharge is a major component of recharge to inter-mountain basin-fill aquifers. The two components of mountain-front recharge are (1) subsurface inflow from the mountain block (subsurface inflow), and (2) infiltration from perennial and ephemeral streams near the mountain front (stream seepage). The magnitude of subsurface inflow is of central...
Basal metabolism of the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) and the Siberian polecat (M. eversmannii)
L.A. Harrington, E. Biggins, A.W. Alldredge
2003, Journal of Mammalogy (84) 497-504
Black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) and Siberian polecats (M. eversmannii) are medium-sized (about 1 kg) mustelids with similar ecological and morphological characteristics. We measured basal metabolic rates (BMR) for both species. In contrast with the commonly stated belief that mustelids have relatively high mass-specific BMR, neither the BMR of ferrets nor...
