Diurnal time budgets and habitat use patterns of breeding Ugashik marbled godwits
(Limosa fedoa beringiae) were studied on the north-central portion of the Alaska Peninsula
during spring and summer 1995-1996. Marbled godwits were observed from blinds and

Increasingly, ecological models have become complex because they are more complicated; ecological models are generally multi-variate and multi-leveled in structure. Many ecological models are complex because...

and pear cultivars.
In release experiments, codling moth adults were intercepted in significantly greater
numbers in host (apple, pear) than in non-host (maple) trees,...
