An examination of kin and nonkin foster parents’ experiences

Creator:: De Costa, Jennifer L. (Jennifer Loretta)
Abstract:: The growth of foster care, particularly kin foster care has greatly outpaced our knowledge. The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to develop a more informed understanding of foster family functioning from the perspective of foster parents. This study examined the experiences of 9 kin and 12 nonkin foster...

The food and feeding chronology of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) in Lake Washington

Creator:: Costa, H. H., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: The food habits of yellow perch in Lake Washington were studied over a period of nine months. Altogether, 549 yellow perch were examined for the stomach contents. The food consisted mainly of cottids, mysid shrimp, and chironomid pupae and larvae; the predominant food item being the mysid shrimp. There was...

The Biogeochemistry of nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in native shrub ecosystems in Senegal

Creator:: Dossa, Ekw'e Lokossou, 1960-
Abstract:: Two native shrub species (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis) are prominent vegetation components in farmers’ fields in Senegal. However, their role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function has largely been overlooked. A study including both laboratory and field experiments was conducted to evaluate potential biophysical interactions of the two shrub...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Defining habitat preferences of pelagic loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the North Atlantic through analysis of behavior and bycatch

Creator:: McCarthy, Abigail L.
Abstract:: For many species of marine turtle the characteristics that define pelagic habitat have yet to be fully identified. A better understanding of these habitat characteristics is critical to reduce high seas fisheries interactions with turtles, especially as the status of many turtle populations has placed them on the threatened or...

Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...

Remote sensing of forest aboveground biomass using the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System

Creator:: Pflugmacher, Dirk
Abstract:: Accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass are needed to reduce uncertainties in the terrestrial carbon flux. The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite is now the first spaceborne lidar sensor that will provide global estimates of vegetation height. This study investigated the utility...

Remote sensing for monitoring regional carbon dynamics associated with land cover and land use change along the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor

Creator:: Hayes, Daniel J., 1974-
Abstract:: Human activities are causing profound changes to the global environment, yet the potential consequences of these changes on rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change are not well understood. Improving our understanding of these processes requires an enhanced awareness of how global ecosystems are changing and how these changes affect...
