1994, The Wilson Bulletin (106) 615-628
We studied populations of the endangered Akepa (Loxops coccineus coccineus) and Hawaii Creeper (Oreomystis mana) at four sites on the island of Hawaii. Mean monthly density (? SL) of Akepa was 5.74 t 0.87, 1.3? 0.41, 0.96 -? 0.13, and 0.76 ? 0.12 Akepa/ha at Kau Forest, Hamakua, Keauhou Ranch,...
Timing of breeding and molting in six species of Hawaiian honeycreepers
C.J. Ralph, S.G. Fancy
1994, Condor (96) 151-161
The timing of breeding and molting was studied in six species of Hawaiian honeycreepers with differing food habits on the Island of Hawaii. The availability of nectar was highly seasonal, whereas insect abundance was relatively constant throughout the year. All six species of honeycreeper had extended breeding and molting periods...
Population trends of woodland birds from the North American Breeding Bird Survey
B.G. Peterjohn, J.R. Sauer
1994, Wildlife Society Bulletin (22) 155-164
Population trends of woodland birds were summarized from BBS data over 1966-1991, 1966-1979, and 1982-1991. For the entire woodland bird assemblage, increasing species outnumbered decreasing species in all regions except central North America during 1966-1991. However, the proportion of decreasing species increased in most regions during the 19821991...
A single deer stands-off three wolves
Michael E. Nelson, L. David Mech
1994, American Midland Naturalist (131) 207-208
The first record of a deer (Odocoileus virginianus) standing off three wolves (Canis lupus) is documented by an aerial observation in northeastern Minnesota....
The 1992 and 1993 summary of the North American Breeding Bird Survey
B.G. Peterjohn, J.R. Sauer, W.A. Link
1994, Bird Populations (2) 46-61
Using data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), continental and regional changes in bird populations were estimated for the 2-year periods of 1991-1992 and 1992-1993. These 2-year changes were placed in the context of population trends since 1966. During 1991-1992, 62% of all species exhibited positive...
Regular and homeward travel speeds of arctic wolves
L.D. Mech
1994, Journal of Mammalogy (75) 741-742
Single wolves (Canis lupus arctos), a pair, and a pack of five habituated to the investigator on an all-terrain vehicle were followed on Ellesmere Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, during summer. Their mean travel speed was measured on barren ground at 8.7 km/h during regular travel and 10.0 km/h when...
Communal roosting and foraging behavior of staging sandhill cranes
D. W. Sparling, Gary L. Krapu
1994, The Wilson Bulletin (106) 62-77
Each spring more than 300,000 Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis) roost communally at night in river channels in the Platte River Valley of Nebraska and disperse at dawn to forage in agricultural fields. Cranes with central roosts had activity ranges double the size of those with peripheral...
Identifying sex and age of akiapolaau
T.K. Pratt, S.G. Fancy, C.K. Harada, G.D. Lindsey, J.D. Jacobi
1994, The Wilson Bulletin (106) 421-430
Methods for identifying the sex and age of the Akiapolaau (Hemignathus munroi), an endangered honeycreeper found only on the island of Hawaii, were developed by examination and measurement of 73 museum specimens and 24 live birds captured in mist nests. Akiapolaau probably undergo a single annual molt, with most birds...
Demography and movements of the omao (Myadestes obscurus)
C.J. Ralph, S.G. Fancy
1994, Condor (96) 503-511
Density, age-specific survival, timing of breeding and molting, and movements of the Omao or Hawaiian Thrush (Myadestes obscurus) were studied at four sites on the island of Hawaii. Mean monthly density (birds/ha) was 3.23 +- 0.57, 1.07 +- 0.33, 3.23 +- 0. 16, and 3.74 +- 0.36 at Kau Forest,...
Diurnal habitat use of American woodcock wintering along the Atlantic coast
D.G. Krementz, G.W. Pendleton
1994, Canadian Journal of Zoology (72) 1945-1950
The long-term decline of the American woodcock (Scolopax minor) population led us to investigate diurnal habitat use with radiotelemetry on the wintering grounds. Sites included the coastal plain of Georgia (1989-1991), South Carolina (1988-1989), and Virginia (1991-1992). Habitat use was not explained by age, sex, or date during...
Bird use of agricultural fields under reduced and conventional tillage in the Texas Panhandle
Edward L. Flickinger, G.W. Pendleton
1994, Wildlife Society Bulletin (22) 34-42
We conducted bird surveys in reduced-tillage and conventional tillage fields in spring, summer, fall, and winter from 1987 to 1991 in the Texas Panhandle. Eastern meadowlarks, longspurs, and savannah sparrows were more common in reduced-tillage (sorghum and wheat stubble) fields than in conventionally tilled (plowed) fields in at least...
Survival and causes of mortality in juvenile Puerto Rican parrots
G.D. Lindsey, W.J. Arendt, Jan Kalina
1994, Journal of Field Ornithology (65) 76-82
Fifteen juvenile Puerto Rican Parrots (Amazona vittata) from wild nests in 1985, 1986 and 1987 were radio monitored an average of 110 +- 15.9 (SE) d (range 4-209 d) post-fledgling. Minimum survival was 67% (n = 3) in 1985, 100% (n = 4) in 1986 and 43% (n = 7)...
Winter movements and spring migration of American woodcock along the Atlantic coast
D.G. Krementz, J.T. Seginak, G.W. Pendleton
1994, The Wilson Bulletin (106) 482-493
Radio transmitters were attached to American Woodcock (scolopax minor) at three Atlantic coastal sites to monitor winter movements and spring departure dates from Georgia (1982-1984, 1989-1991), South Carolina (1988-1989), and Virginia (1991-1992). There was no evidence of temperature, sex, or age-dependent migration dates. Migration was coincident with the full moon...

Jeff S. Hatfield, S.A. Ricciardi, G.A. Gough, D. Bystrak, Sam Droege, C.S. Robbins
1994, Maryland Birdlife (50) 3-83
A winter bird survey was conducted throughout Maryland, primarily by volunteers, during the 6 winters of 1988 to 1993 between the dates of 10 Jan and 10 Feb. The state of Maryland is covered by 1231 blocks (9.5 sq. miles each), each comprising one-sixth of the standard U.S.G.S. 7.5...
Reproductive success of barn swallows nesting near a selenium-contaminated lake in east Texas, USA
Kirk A. King, T. W. Custer, D.A. Weaver
1994, Environmental Pollution (84) 53-58
Reproductive success and contaminant levels in 1986 and 1987 were compared between Barn Swallows nesting at selenium-contaminated Martin Lake, Texas, USA, and swallows nesting at a reference site. Nests were initiated about the same time or earlier at Martin Lake than at the reference site and clutch size was similar...
Density estimation using the trapping web design: A geometric analysis
W.A. Link, R. J. Barker
1994, Biometrics (50) 733-745
Population densities for small mammal and arthropod populations can be estimated using capture frequencies for a web of traps. A conceptually simple geometric analysis that avoid the need to estimate a point on a density function is proposed. This analysis incorporates data from the outermost rings of traps,...
Contaminants in eggs of aquatic birds from the grasslands of central California
R. L. Hothem, D. Welsh
1994, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (27) 180-185
Eggs were collected from the Grasslands of western Merced County, California, during 1986 and 1987, and at the Mendota Wildlife Area in Fresno County in 1987, as part of a reproductive study of nesting ducks and shorebirds. The eggs were analyzed to evaluate the effects of contaminants in agricultural drainwater...
Habitat use by an endangered riverine fish and implications for species protection
C.S. Robbins
1994, Ecology of Freshwater Fish (3) 177-178
We investigated habitat specificity of the amber darter (Percina antesella Williams & Etnier 1977), an imperiled fish from restricted portions of 2 rivers in the southeastern United States. Foraging amber darters occupied a narrow range of riffle habitat, consistently avoiding areas < 20 cm deep and with velocity <...
Lyme disease and conservation
H. Ginsberg
1994, Conservation Biology (8) 343-353
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness that is widespread in North America, especially in the northeastern and northcentral United States. This disease could negatively influence efforts to conserve natural populations in two ways: (1) the disease could directly affect wild animal health; and (2) tick control efforts could adversely affect...
