Passing of northern pike and common carp through experimental barriers designed for use in wetland restoration
John R. P. French III, Douglas A. Wilcox, S. Jerrine Nichols
1999, Wetlands (19) 883-888
Restoration plans for Metzger Marsh, a coastal wetland on the south shore of western Lake Erie, incorporated a fish-control system designed to restrict access to the wetland by large common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Ingress fish passageways in the structure contain slots into which experimental grates of varying size and shape...

The greater Los Angeles area of California is home to more than 10 million people. This large population puts increased pressure on the adjacent offshore continental shelf and margin with activities such as ocean disposal for dredged spoils, explosive disposal, waste-water outfall, and commercial fishing. The increased utilization of the...

Metabolic response to air temperature and wind in day-old mallards and a standard operative temperature scale
G.S. Bakken, P.S. Reynolds, K.P. Kenow, C. E. Korschgen, A.F. Boysen
1999, Physiological and Biochemical Zoology (72) 656-665
Most duckling mortality occurs during the week following hatching and is often associated with cold, windy, wet weather and scattering of the brood. We estimated the thermoregulatory demands imposed by cold, windy weather on isolated 1‐d‐old mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducklings resting in cover. We measured O2 consumption and evaporative water loss...

1999, Open-File Report 99-319
The conversion of land from its native state to an agricultural use commonly results in a significant loss of soil carbon (Mann, 1985; Davidson and Ackerman, 1993). Globally, this loss is estimated to account for as much as 1/3 of the net CO2 emissions for the period of 1850 to...
Timing of paleoearthquakes on the northern Hayward Fault: Preliminary evidence in El Cerrito, California

1999, Open-File Report 99-318
The Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities estimated that the northern Hayward fault had the highest probability (0.28) of producing a M7 Bay Area earthquake in 30 years (WGCEP, 1990). This probability was based, in part, on the assumption that the last large earthquake occurred on this segment in 1836....

Patch to landscape patterns in post fire recruitment of a serotinous conifer
Gidi Ne’eman, C. J. Fotheringham, Jon E. Keeley
1999, Plant Ecology (145) 235-242
Obligate seeding species are highly specialized to fire disturbance and many conifers such as cypress, which are adapted to high intensity stand-replacing fires, have canopy seed banks stored in serotinous cones. Resilience of these trees to fire disturbance is a function of disturbance frequency and one focus of this study...
