C.E. Bock, K.T. Vierling, S.L. Haire, J.D. Boone, W.W. Merkle
2002, Conservation Biology (16) 1653-1658
Relatively little is known about the response of grassland rodent populations to urban and suburban edges. We live-trapped rodents for three summers on 65 3.1-ha grassland plots on open space of the city of Boulder, Colorado, and compared capture rates among species according to habitat type, percentage of the 40...
Advanced techniques for modeling avian nest survival
S.J. Dinsmore, Gary C. White, F.L. Knopf
2002, Ecology (83) 3476-3488
Estimation of avian nest survival has traditionally involved simple measures of apparent nest survival or Mayfield constant-nest-survival models. However, these methods do not allow researchers to build models that rigorously assess the importance of a wide range of biological factors that affect nest survival. Models that incorporate greater detail, such...
Razorback sucker movements and habitat use in the San Juan River inflow, Lake Powell, Utah, 1995-1997
C.A. Karp, G. Mueller
2002, Western North American Naturalist (62) 106-111
Seventeen subadult, hatchery-reared razorback suckers (Xyrauchen texanus; (x̄ = 456 mm total length) were implanted with sonic transmitters and tracked for 23 months in the lower 89.6 km of the San Juan River (San Juan arm of Lake Powell, Utah). Fish were released at 2 sites, and 9 made extensive...

J.H. Schulz, J.J. Millspaugh, B.E. Washburn, G.R. Wester, J. T. Lanigan III, J. C. Franson
2002, Wildlife Society Bulletin (30) 112-120
Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) hunting is becoming increasingly popular, especially in managed shooting fields. Given the possible increase in the availability of lead (Pb) shot on these areas, our objective was to estimate availability and ingestion of spent shot at the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area (EBCA, hunted with nontoxic shot)...
Observations of the larval stages of Diceroprocta apache Davis (Homoptera: Tibicinidae)
A.R. Ellingson, D.C. Andersen, B.C. Kondratieff
2002, Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society (75) 283-289
Diceroprocta apache Davis is a locally abundant cicada in the riparian woodlands of the southwestern United States. While its ecological importance has often been hypothesized, very little is known of its specific life history. This paper presents preliminary information on life history of D. apache from larvae collected in the...
Influence of trophy hunting and horn size on mating behavior and survivorship of mountain sheep
F. J. Singer, L. C. Zeigenfuss
2002, Journal of Mammalogy (83) 682-698
We conducted a study of the effects of horn sizes and trophy hunting on mating behavior and survival of rams in hunted and unhunted populations of Dall sheep (Ovis dalli), Rocky Mountain bighorn (O. canadensis canadensis), and desert bighorn (O. c. nelsoni) sheep. Mating success was positively correlated with horn...

Life-history implications of large-scale spatial variation in adult survival of black brant (Branta bernicla nigricans)
James S. Sedinger, Nathan Chelgren, Mark S. Lindberg, Tim Obritchkewitch, Morgan T. Kirk, Philip D. Martin, Betty A. Anderson, David H. Ward
2002, The Auk (119) 510-515
We used capture-recapture methods to estimate adult survival rates for adult female Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans; hereafter “brant”) from three colonies in Alaska, two on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, and one on Alaska's Arctic coast. Costs of migration and reproductive effort varied among those colonies, enabling us to examine variation...

2002, Environmental Science & Technology (36) 2403-2413
Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate inactivation of viruses attached to mineral surfaces. In a natural gradient transport field experiment, bacteriophage PRD1, radiolabeled with 32P, was injected into a ferric oxyhydroxide-coated sand aquifer with bromide and linear alkylbenzene sulfonates. In a zone of the aquifer contaminated by secondary...
Mercury(II) sorption to two Florida Everglades peat: Evidence for strong and weak binding and competition by dissolved organic matter released from the peat
R. Todd Drexel, Markus Haitzer, Joseph N. Ryan, George R. Aiken, Kathryn L. Nagy
2002, Environmental Science & Technology (36) 4058-4064
The binding of mercury(II) to two peats from Florida Everglades sites with different rates of mercury methylation was measured at pH 6.0 and 0.01 M ionic strength. The mercury(II) sorption isotherms, measured over a total mercury(II) range of 10-7.4 to 10-3.7 M, showed the competition for mercury(II) between the peat...
Bioavailability and toxicity of dietborne copper and zinc to fish
Susan J. Clearwater, Aida M. Farag, J.S. Meyer
2002, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology (132) 269-313
To date, most researchers have used dietborne metal concentrations rather than daily doses to define metal exposure and this has resulted in contradictory data within and between fish species. It has also resulted in the impression that high concentrations of dietborne Cu and Zn (e.g.>900 mg kg−1 dry diet) are...

2002, Conference Paper, Transactions - Geothermal Resources Council
Karaha-Telaga Bodas is a partially vapor-dominated geothermal system located in an active volcano in western Java. More than 2 dozen geothermal wells have been drilled to depths of 3 km. Detailed paragenetic and fluid-inclusion studies have defined liquid-dominated, transitional and vapor-dominated stages in the evolution of this system. The liquid-dominated...
Stable isotope compositions of waters in the Great Basin, United States 3. Comparison of groundwaters with modern precipitation
G.I. Smith, I. Friedman, G. Veronda, C. A. Johnson
2002, Journal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres (107)
Groundwater samples from wells and springs, scattered over most of the Great Basin province, were collected and analyzed for their isotopic makeup. They were augmented by previously published isotopic data on groundwaters from southeast California and by several hundred unpublished isotopic analyses. The ratio of 2H (deuterium, D) to 1H,...
