The past, present, and future of manatees in the southeastern United States: realities, misunderstandings and enigmas
T. J. O'Shea
1988, Book, Proceedings of the Third Southeastern Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Symposium
A review of the historical and recent (1970s-1980s) literature on the distribution, abundance, and mortality of West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) in the southern United States is presented. Recent unpublished data on mortality, Florida boat registrations, size of certain manatee wintering populations, and records outside of Florida are also given....
Douglas-fir forests in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington: is the abundance of small mammals related to stand age and moisture?
P.S. Coen, R.B. Bury, T.A. Spies
1988, Report, Management of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals in North America
Red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) were the only small mammal strongly associated with old-growth forests, whereas vagrant shrews (Sorex vagrans) were most abundant in young forests. Pacific marsh shrews (S. bendirii) were most abundant in wet old-growth forests, but abundance of this species in young (wet) forests needs further study....
Isolation and identification of trichothecenes from Fusarium compactum suspected in the aetiology of a major intoxication of sandhill cranes
Richard J. Cole, Joe W. Dorner, John Gilbert, David N. Mortimer, Colin Crews, J.C. Mitchell, Ronald M. Windingstad, Paul E. Nelson, Horace G. Cutler
1988, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (36) 1163-1167
Isoneosolaniol (4,8-diacetoxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene-3,15-diol) and other unidentified trichothecene mycotoxins were isolated from culture extracts of two highly toxigenic strains of Fusarium compactum cultured from waste peanuts involved in an acute intoxication of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis). Neosolaniol and other unidentified trichothecenes were detected in waste peanuts collected from affected areas. The structure...

Cattle grazing and small mammals on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada
John L. Oldemeyer, L. R. Allen-Johnson
1988, Report, Management of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals in North America: Proceedings of the symposium
We studied effects of cattle grazing on small mammal microhabitat and abundance in northwestern Nevada. Abundance, diversity, and microhabitat were compared between a 375-ha cattle exclosure and a deferred-rotation grazing allotment which had a three-year history of light to moderate use. No consistent differences were found in abundance, diversity, or...

The importance of biological surveys in managing public lands in the western United States
Michael A. Bogan, R. B. Finley Jr., S.J. Petersburg
1988, Report, Proceedings of the symposium on management of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals in North America
Despite previous studies, incomplete knowledge of the mammalian fauna of many national parks hinders our ability to understand the consequences of either management actions of natural disasters to such preserves. Faunal losses have occurred and can be expected to continue (Newmark 1986a, 1986b). our studies in and near Dinosaur National...
An overview of a habitat suitability index model for moose: Lake Superior region
A.W. Allen, J.W. Terrell, P.A. Jordan
1988, Alces (24) 118-125
A three-day workshop was held to develop a model for evaluation of moose habitat in the Lake Superior region. The ultimate goal of the workshop was to provide planning tools to enhance habitat management for moose and maximize the integration of those management objectives with silvicultural goals. An abstract of...
Patterns of relative diversity within riparian small mammal communities, Platte River Watershed, Colorado
T.E. Olson, Fritz L. Knopf
1988, Report, Management of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals in North America: Proceedings of the symposium
Relative diversity within and between small mammal assemblages of riparian and upland vegetation was evaluated at 6 study areas across an elevational gradient. In contrast to avian diversity analyses conducted at the same sites, species richness, relative diversity, and faunal similarity of small mammals were greater among upland rather than...
Asynchronous hatching and food limitation: A test of Lack's hypothesis
Susan Knight Skagen
1988, The Auk (105) 78-88
Lack's (1954, 1968) hypothesis that asynchronous hatching of altricial birds is an adaptive response to unpredictable food shortages during the breeding season was examined in the highly granivorous Zebra Finch (Poephila guttata). I compared growth and survival of nestlings in asynchronous and artificially created synchronous broods reared under food-limited and...
Proceedings of a workshop on the development and evaluation of habitat suitability criteria: A compilation of papers and discussions presented at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, December 8-12, 1986
Ken Bovee, J.R. Zuboy
1988, Book
The development of reliable habitat suitability criteria is critical to the successful implementation of the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM), or any other habitat based evaluation technology. It is also a fascinating topic of research, for several reasons. First, the “science” of habitat quantification is relatively young. Descriptions of habitat...

Douglas-fir forests in the Oregon and Washington Cascades: relation of the herpetofauna to stand age and moisture
R. Bruce Bury, P.S. Corn
1988, Report, Management of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals in North America
Pitfall traps effectively sampled amphibians but not reptiles in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests. The abundance of only one amphibian species varied across an age gradient or a moisture gradient. Salamanders and frogs that breed in ponds or streams were captured in large numbers in some stands, likely due to the...
Mineral resources of the U.S. Atlantic continental margin
Stanley R. Riggs, Frank T. Manheim
1988, Book chapter, The Atlantic Continental Margin
Most geologic materials may be usable resources in some form and at some time, whether it be for general land fill and aggregate, beach replenishment, construction material, or as a source of metals and fuels. Thus, most natural materials occurring within the Atlantic continental margin are resources, defined as “materials,...

Small mammal response to the introduction of cattle into a cottonwood floodplain
F. B. Samson, F.L. Knopf, L.B. Hass
1988, Report, Management of amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals in North America: Proceedings of the symposium
Few differences between pastures in small mammal communities were evident prior to grazing, 1 month following grazing, and no differences in number or distribution of small mammals were observed 5 months following grazing. Each small mammal species exhibited different habitat use compared to availability and few habitat variables differed on...
