Managing North American waterfowl in the face of uncertainty
James D. Nichols, Fred A. Johnson, Byron K. Williams
1995, Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics (26) 177-199
Informed management of waterfowl (or any animal population) requires management goals and objectives, the ability to implement management actions, periodic information about population and goal-related varlables, and knowledge of effects of management actions on population and goal-related variables. In North America, international treaties mandate a primary objective of protecting migratory...
Deep subsurface microbial processes
Derek R. Lovley, F. H. Chapelle
1995, Reviews of Geophysics (33) 365-381
Information on the microbiology of the deep subsurface is necessary in order to understand the factors controlling the rate and extent of the microbially catalyzed redox reactions that influence the geophysical properties of these environments. Furthermore, there is an increasing threat that deep aquifers, an important drinking water resource, may...
Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080) Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
R. Eisler
1995, Contaminant Hazard Reviews Report 30 ; Biological Report 27.
Sodium monofluoroacetate (CH2FCOONa), also known as 1080, domestic use is currently restricted to livestock-protection collars on sheep and goats to selectively kill depredating coyotes. The chemical is readily absorbed by ingestion or inhalation. At lethal doses, metabolic conversion of fluoroacetate to fluorocitrate results in the accumulation of citrate in...

Point count length and detection of forest neotropical migrant birds

C. John Ralph, John R. Sauer, Sam Droege, editor(s)
1995, Report, Monitoring Bird Populations by Point Counts
Comparisons of bird abundances among years or among habitats assume that the rates at which birds are detected and counted are constant within species. We use point count data collected in forests of the Mid-Atlantic states to estimate detection probabilities for Neotropical migrant bird species as a function of count...

Residues and trends of organochlorine pesticide and polychlorinated biphenyls in birds from Texas, 1965-88
Miguel A. Mora
1995, National Biological Service, Fish & Wildlife Research 14
Concentrations of DDE (a metabolite of DDT) in birds decreased during recent years in most areas of the continental United States. Organochlorine pesticides were widely used in agriculture in Texas from the early 1950s to the 1970s. I used previously published data to determine whether concentrations of DDE and polychlorinated...

White phosphorus (WP) has caused waterfowl die-offs in a tidal saltmarsh used by the U.S. Army for artillery practice for > 40 years. Bald (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)and golden (Aquila chrysaetos) eagles have been observed feeding on dead and dying waterfowl on the marsh and may be exposed to WP through...
Population trends from the North American Breeding Bird Survey

1995, Book chapter, Ecology and Management of Neotropical Migratory Birds: A Synthesis and Review of Critical Issues
INTRODUCTION: Most Neotropical migrant birds are difficult to count accurately and are moderately common over large breeding distributions. Consequently, little historical information exists on their large-scale population changes, and most of this information is anecdotal. Surveys begun in this century such as Breeding Bird Censuses and Christmas Bird Counts...

1995, Book chapter, The double-crested cormorant: Biology, conservation, and management
Concerns about Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have arisen because of their rapid population increase across North America and their economic impact on several aquaculture and commercial fish industries. In spite of the concern for cormorants, little published research is available that addresses either basic population biology questions or management issues....

During the summers 1994-1995, over 80 eyries were located on over 10,000 km of survey routes in Mongolia. Where possible, production and hatch dates were assessed when the eyries were found. For 75 nesting attempts, breeding success was found to be 92%. The average number of young...
Forested wetlands constructed for mitigation of destroyed natural wetlands

Forested wetlands constructed for mitigation were evaluated at six sites in Maryland to determine the success of these areas for providing suitable wildlife habitat. Natural forested wetlands were used as reference sites. Initial mortality of planted woody shrubs and trees was high (avg. 55%) and mostly attributed to...

1995, Book chapter, Our living resources: A report to the nation on the distribution, abundance, and health of U.S. plants, animals, and ecosystems
The publication of Silent Spring (Carson 1962) highlighted the potential for dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) and other pesticides that persist in the environment to accumulate in and to harm fish, wildlife, and the ecosystems upon which they depend. The federal government responded in the mid-1960's by establishing a multi-agency program to...

A capture-recapture survival analysis model for radio-tagged animals

1995, Book chapter, Statistics and ornithology. Proceedings of the 4th EURING technical meeting, 19-24 September, 1994
In recent years, survival analysis of radio-tagged animals has developed using methods based on the Kaplan-Meier method used in medical and engineering applications (Pollock et al., 1989a,b). An important assumption of this approach is that all tagged animals with a functioning radio can be relocated at each sampling time with...
