Estimating temporary emigration using capture-recapture data with Pollock's robust design
W. L. Kendall, James D. Nichols, James E. Hines
1997, Ecology (78) 563-578
Statistical inference for capture–recapture studies of open animal populations typically relies on the assumption that all emigration from the studied population is permanent. However, there are many instances in which this assumption is unlikely to be met. We define two general models for the process of temporary emigration: completely random...

Life history, latitudinal patterns, and status of the shortnose sturgeon, Acipenser brevirostrum
Boyd Kynard
1997, Environmental Biology of Fishes (48) 319-334
Historically, shortnose sturgeon inhabited most major rivers on the Atlantic coast of North America south of the Saint John River, Canada. Today, only 16 populations may remain. Major anthropogenic impacts on shortnose sturgeon are blockage of spawning runs by dams, harvest of adults (bycatch and poaching), dredging of fresh/saltwater riverine...
Influence of evaporation, ground water, and uncertainty in the hydrologic budget of Lake Lucerne, a seepage lake in Polk County, Florida
Terrie Mackin Lee, Amy Swancar
1997, Water Supply Paper 2439
A detailed hydrologic budget was constructed of a seepage lake of sinkhole origin in the karst terrain of central Florida. During the drought period studied, lake evaporation computed by the energy-budget and mass-transfer methods was the largest component in the budget, followed by rainfall. Ground-water inflow contributed about one-third of...
