Using Stable Isotopes to Estimate the Mean Recharge Elevation of Water Sources in the Central America Region

Creator:: Arellano, Lisabeth N.
Abstract:: Knowledge of the mean recharge elevation (MRE) of water resources is important for informing conservation and protection practices where water security is threatened by population growth, urban expansion, and land and climate changes. In this study a Bayesian approach was developed and applied to determine the MRE of 682 surface...

The effects of rotational grazing and prescribed burning on bobwhite populations in south Texas

Creator:: Wilson, Marcia H.
Abstract:: Short-term effects of 3 grazing systems and prescribed burning on bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations were investigated on the Welder Wildlife Refuge near Corpus Christi, Texas, during spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) of 1976 and 1977. Two rotational systems, high intensity-low frequency (HILF) and four-pasture, deferred-rotation (4PDR),...

Multi-scale relationships between aspen and birds in the northern Yellowstone ecosystem

Creator:: Hollenbeck, Jeff P., 1967-
Abstract:: I conducted a multi-scale evaluation of aspen – bird relationships in the northern ungulate winter range of the northern Yellowstone ecosystem during June 2001-03. Questions addressed were: (1) Does bird diversity increase with conifer presence in aspen stands? (2) Given known habitat selection cues, are migrating birds passively intercepted by...
